Death Drive is the first collaborative studio album by Sole & DJ Pain 1. It was released on June 9, 2014.[5] It features guest appearances from Decomposure, Pedestrian, and Sean Bonnette.[6] Sole described it as "a political rap album executed in a way that eschews the rapper persona of savior/prophet and speaks from the riot line."[7]
Critical reception
Jessica Steinhoff of Alarm gave the album a favorable review, saying: "The duo examines the concept of heroism through beats and wordplay, taking aim at idols like Steve Jobs and Sigmund Freud in the process."[1] On the week of June 6, 2014, Spin included it on the "10 Albums to Stream" list.[8] Westword included it on the "31 Best Colorado Albums of 2014" list.[9]
