Chester Watson
With Hookz Murdock.
UW Memorial Union-Terrace 800 Langdon St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
Florida-based underground rapper Chester Watson makes sample-heavy hip-hop reminiscent of Earl Sweatshirt or MF DOOM, with heady, philosophical lyrics streaming over understated bass-heavy beats. His latest release is a single he produced himself from 2017, titled “Halloween,” which comes in dark and creepy as Watson raps about demons and chilling with Slenderman in an ominous monotone. Brooklyn lyricist Hookz Murdock opens.
