Schizzow - The Schizzowphrenic

Schizzow
The Schizzowphrenic
(Independent)

There's a steep learning curve for those unfamiliar with this brand of Malaysian hip hop. If you are, unfortunately, fellow Rogue Squadron member Jin Hackman might be a better place to start. Like Jin, earnest Schizzow is all about shooting down poseurs (all well and good) but the Penangite is almost too deconstructed: you will find a normal nice guy with average talent spitting out middling rhymes with workmanlike observations. Some overarching charisma or righteous bravado would help loads.
