Ratking last came to town a few days after releasing an EP called 700-Fill. On some of my favorite cuts from the EP, including today's 12 O'Clock Track, "Eternal Reveal," Ratking smoothes out the rougher edges of its tectonic sound and injects it with an illustrious somberness. I vaguely remember the hair on my arms standing on end when Ratking played a few of the 700-Fill songs, and it helped drive me further towards the stage. In no time I found myself moshing in the middle of the crowd, an activity I hadn't participated in . . . well, I've forgotten how long it had been.
Ratking headlines a great hip-hop show at Empty Bottle tomorrow night. Fat Tony and Antwon open, and tickets are $3 with an RSVP (it's $10 otherwise). Until tomorrow give "Eternal Reveal" a spin.
