Already Widely Known
Already Widely Known is more than an album—it’s an odyssey. SLAM Dunkle crafts a sonic and lyrical landscape that interrogates fame, consumerism, identity, and the absurdities of modern life. Divided into three acts and an encore, the album follows a narrative arc that begins with ambition and material obsession, spirals into chaos and conflict, and ultimately arrives at a form of reflection and transcendence.
With his roots as a musical cyclist and a craftsman of flutes made from roadside weeds, SLAM Dunkle brings a unique sonic palette to the project, incorporating organic textures sampled from his handmade instruments. The album is an intricate blend of hip-hop, poetry, and conceptual storytelling, pushing the boundaries of genre while remaining deeply personal.
​
At its core, Already Widely Known asks: What does it mean to be seen, to be heard, to be remembered? The answer, like the music, is layered, evolving, and impossible to pin down.
