Vinyl - John michel - Egotrip

Egotrip is a soul-infused rap journey from rapper John michel and producer Anthony James. Across its 12 tracks, Egotrip blends introspective lyrics with lush, gospel-tinged production, weaving soaring guitar riffs, dusty soul samples, and booming percussion into an in-your-face soundscape that recalls the classic sonics of Kanye West and artists alike.

John michel explores his vices, faith, self-reliance and ego, pairing unrelenting verses with vivid religious and cultural imagery. From the anthemic “PREACHER!” to the album’s haunting climax “world’s end”, Egotrip captures both the grit of struggle and the glow of triumph.

Praised in internet communities such as AOTY.ORG for its consistency and emotional depth, the album has been described as having ‘no-skips,’ and stands out as one of the most talked-about underground rap releases 2025. This vinyl pressing brings the full experience home; a record that demands to be heard front-to-back, needle down, uninterrupted.
