San Francisco rapper Ramirez debuts a transformative new albumĀ Tragedy Of A Clown.
The 11-track project is a symbolic reference to the personal struggles that the Mexican-Nicaraguan artist has faced over the past few years. Guest features on the album include Pouya, Fat Nick, Rocci, Mikey The Magician and G59 labelmates Shakewell and Germ.
āThe purpose of a clown is to perform and entertain,ā explains Ramirez. āBut sometimes clowns hide their true emotions with happiness painted on their face. The reality is that clowns are not always content and have to play that happy role even while they are being laughed at and don’t feel like a real person at all. This related to me while Iāve gotten sober and battled depression over the past couple of years. Recording this album helped me get through some difficult times and I hope that it helps me rediscover my love and passion for making music.ā
Tragedy Of A ClownĀ includes the hard-hitting unapologetic singles āCarhartt Vestā featuring Germ, āReturn of the Corpseā and the haunting āShameless Gorillasā featuring Shakewell that was described by Lyrical Lemonade asĀ āhit from conception, making it a record you donāt want to miss out on even for another second.ā
