(un)familiar. - rubberneck (2025)
rubberneck emerged from an intensely difficult, isolating period for Ryan, molded into an 11‑track debut that balances razor‑sharp emotional rawness with precision production. It blends layered IDM-style instrumentals that stand on their own with vocal tracks that channel personal turmoil and introspection. Featuring guests like ilysm, zombAe, slphr, and wishlane, the album navigates themes of alienation, self‑examination, and resilience. Critics describe the production as “wonky” and “insane,” praising its unique textures and confident compositional depth. Many see it as a fully formed debut, suggesting Ryan’s future could be up there with the likes of Flying Lotus or Madlib in the experimental electronic‑hip‑hop realm
