"Crime Scenes" is not just an album; it's a collection of sonic vignettes, each track named after notable films, hinting at a narrative that unfolds with every beat and lyric. From the haunting melodies of "Uncut Gems" to the hard-hitting rhythms of "Collateral," featuring Ché Noir & Stove God Cooks, Ransom weaves a tale of urban life and its complexities.
