The Fall 2

Wrestling is spectacle, but in The Fall 2, Mankind Music Academy flips that spectacle into allegory. With Tev95’s dense, sample-rich production as the canvas, the collective returns to their roots—treating the squared circle not as a stage for chair shots and pyrotechnics, but as a metaphor for survival in a world stacked against you. The result is a project that’s both bruising and deeply humane, as invested in the choreography of politics and race relations as it is in the choreography of wrestling itself

Tev95 builds an atmosphere that feels at once nostalgic and unmoored. Vinyl crackle, dusty drums, and woozy synths collide with bursts of arena-sized energy. There are echoes of the mid-’90s East Coast underground here, but they’re refracted through the larger-than-life drama of pro wrestling. The beats are heavy but never oppressive, offering room for the Academy’s layered narratives to breathe
