"Jackzebra's Auto-Tuned vocals form only the contours of words, prioritizing pure expression akin to Huaisu's cursive calligraphy, which eschewed legibility for artistic freedom."
"Bloodzebra's executive producer, cutspace, leans into the mythos of cryptic symbols, exploring the limits of legibility at the intersection of written word and abstract visual art."
Jackzebra's approach to rap reflects the calligraphic style of Huaisu, emphasizing expression over clarity. His collaboration with Bloodz Boi, titled Bloodzebra, showcases a unique blend of Auto-Tuned vocals that form contours of words rather than clear lyrics. This style resonates with the historical context of Chinese calligraphy and its communicative nuances. Producer cutspace enhances this aesthetic by merging cryptic symbols with abstract art, creating a sound that combines IDM and plugg influences, while collaborating with various SoundCloud artists.
