The notebooks that sat unfilled since 2011's orchestral rap opus, The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales, started to fill up again in early 2022 after ending a lengthy decade of psychoanalysis. Coincidence? Hardly. Behind the wordplay and name-dropping, the songs that made it to Gonzo reveal an ongoing tension between persuasion and confession, delusion and self-awareness and finally, gratitude. The tension between creativity and commerce also continues to be a career-long exploration. But is this truly a rap album? Instrumental pieces such as the Stravinsky-esque \"Fidelio\" or the tearjerking \"Eau de Cologne\" will remind listeners of Gonzo's extravagant \"musical genius\" persona, as the words and rhymes from previous verses settle into their ears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Gonzo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Surfing the Crowd \u003cbr\u003e1.3 High As a Kite \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Fidelio \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Open the Kimono (Feat.
