He can make some of the most visceral, violent trap around (plenty of it even leaning towards industrial hip-hop), but can also spit raw verses over relatively subdued production. Another facet of his talent is heavily delved into on Willy Wonka Was A Child Murderer, that being his singing ability. The tracks here, sans closer "Never", are all rock-infused, with X singing in a noticeably pained voice over everything and occasionally exploding into a yelling frustration as the song does the same. The production, purposely lo-fi as is the case with most of his material, gives off a depressing and ominous vibe, especially on the title-track.
