Gremlin

Artist

comedy rap

Gremlin raps the way a David Attenborough voiceover would if the subject were Twitter. Deadpan baritone, sudden volume spikes, rhythm broken on purpose so the punchlines land harder. The premises start innocent — a normal Tuesday, a small inconvenience — and by the second chorus everything is on fire and the narrator sounds slightly bored about it. The flow tips its hat to Bo Burnham's writing brain and Yuno Miles' commitment to nonsense. The aesthetic is deep-fried JPEG, MLG airhorn, and watermarked stock footage. The result is comedy rap that holds up on track three of an album, not just track one.

Going for

Gremlin wants to be the comedy rap act that survives the joke wearing off. Building toward an Inside-style long-form record — funny on first play, structurally clever on the fifth, oddly sincere by the time the credits roll. The brainrot is the hook; the craft is the reason you stay.
