Das Racist is a Brooklyn-based alternative hip-hop group composed of MCs Himanshu Suri (Heems), and Victor Vazquez (Kool A.D.) and hype man Ashok Kondabolu (Dap). Known for their use of humor, academic references, foreign allusions, and unconventional style, Das Racist has been both dismissed as joke rap and hailed as an urgent new voice in rap.
"Relax" is, above all else, engaging. It’s pleasant to listen to, even if 'pleasant' doesn’t sound like a compliment. It is definitely flawed. Pitchfork had a point in bringing up the “incomplete framework of a record meant to be aesthetically unified and audience-dividing”. But that’s partly why it’s so engaging.
