Kill the Vultures

The Profile

Kill the Vultures is an American alternative/experimental hip‑hop duo from Minneapolis formed by rapper Crescent Moon (Alexei Casselle) and producer/MC Anatomy (Stephen Lewis), emerging from the group Oddjobs and known for dark, jazz-laced production and stark storytelling.

Based in Minneapolis, United States; core members are Crescent Moon and Anatomy; formed in 2005 after work with Oddjobs; albums include Kill the Vultures (2005), The Careless Flame (2006), Ecce Beast (2009), and Carnelian (2015).

A single, glowing review hails Kill the Vultures’ self-titled debut as a stark, jazz-suffused, experimental hip-hop statement. Comparisons surface to cLOUDDEAD and Dälek, with punk urgency and cinematic grit. The production is harsh yet magnetic, the rapping agile, and the closing trio of tracks is singled out as essential.
