In many ways,
Burgertime---by the Teenburger trio of Ontario rapper Timbuktu and Halifax’s Ghettosocks and DJ Jorun Bombay---is the aural, moral opposite of
Watch the Throne, the Kanye and Jay-Z collaboration.
Watch the Throne is meticulous luxury rap over airlessly handpicked samples;
Burgertime is three friends hanging out and delivering freewheeling wordplay about arriving late for class and hiding boners behind binders. Ghettosocks and Timbuktu show bright chemistry over sharp boom-bap production. The album drags at times, its 20 tracks plumped up by some off-message remixes of old material, but unlike a fast-food burger, you can smell how fresh Burgertime is.
