In her blistering new EP Diss Topia, Belfast-born and London-based Antoin Gibson launches a full-scale lyrical insurrection. The five-track release is a ferocious, no-holds-barred critique of societal decay, algorithmic control, and institutional gaslighting. Framed by mathematical precision and razor-edged poetry, Diss Topia is one of the most unapologetically intelligent and confrontational rap projects of the year. Itโs militant, philosophical, satirical, and powered entirely by Gibson herself, written, produced, and executed with deliberate fury.
The opening track, โDiss Continued,โ immediately sets the tone with bare-knuckled aggression and surgical delivery. Over minimal, ominous production, Gibsonโs voice cuts through with urgency and venom, issuing a direct challenge to digital erasure and passive silence. In โDiss Genesis,โ she channels the horror of societyโs obsession with true crime, flipping streaming cultureโs appetite for murder into a critique of our collective desensitisation. She raps like sheโs seen the futureโand itโs already been commodified.
โ#DISSโ is where Gibsonโs technical brilliance shines brightest, weaponising mathematical metaphors, code logic, and algorithm theory to dismantle the shallowness of performative social media activism. โDissometry,โ meanwhile, is an academic diss turned lyrical bloodbath, where Newtonian laws and statistical metaphors become tools of annihilation. She raps with scholarly fluency, flattening anyone who dares underestimate her intellect or pen game.
Closing track โF U Society,โ first released as a standalone single, lands differently in this new context, now transformed into the EPโs final exhale. With haunting music and a voice ghosted by fatigue and rage, Gibson delivers a damning, eloquent middle finger to systems built on silence, avoidance, and erasure.
Antoin Gibsonโs Diss Topia is protest, prophecy, and poetic warfare. Check it out on Spotify.
