model home

Model Home is an experimental hip-hop duo from Washington, D.C., consisting of lyricist NAPPYNAPPA and producer Pat Cain, along with various collaborators that vary from release to release. The project's raw, unfiltered improvisations pit NAPPYNAPPA's heavily processed vocals against spluttering drum machines and cracked electronics, recalling the avant-rap freak-outs of underground legends Sensational and Occasional Detroit. 2020 LP One Year compiled highlights from the project's lengthy series of self-released digital albums, and full-lengths like 2021's both feet en th infinite flirted with danceable rhythms. 2022's Saturn in the Basement, a second compilation, included a collaboration with Japanese experimental icon Phew.
