As suggested by the painstakingly detailed map of New York City that covers So It Goes, Ratking’s 2014 debut is a deep dive into their hometown. Storming from the stoops of Harlem to the bustling storefronts of Canal Street are the gaptooth spitfire Wiki and the languid daydreamer Hak, whose relentless banter never loses steam. Producer Sporting Life’s abstract, sample-heavy soundscapes conjure the chaos of the modern concrete jungle—a sound that evokes the dissonance of ’70s no wave and the experimentation of ’90s hip-hop. Together, Ratking paint a compelling city portrait: “Remove Ya” addresses its rampant stop-and-frisk abuses, while the jazzy “Snow Beach” chastises gentrification for poisoning the Big Apple. So It Goes shows NYC as it really is: pretty, gritty, and gross, forever restless and forever alive. –Quinn Moreland

Ratking于2014年发布的首张专辑“So It Goes”描绘了一幅细致入微的纽约市地图，由此看出，Ratking对家乡进行了深入探索。缺牙巴的急性子Wiki和懒惰成性的空想家Hak从哈勒姆市的门廊一路横冲直撞到坚尼市熙熙攘攘的门店前，一路上两人的不断开着玩笑。制作人Sporting Life运用抽象音景变戏法般地为听众展现了摩登都市里参天大楼的纵横交错——这让人想到了70年代无浪潮音乐以及90年代实验嘻哈的尖锐。“Remove Ya”讲述了猖獗的拦截搜身暴行，而爵士风格的“Snow Beach”则谴责了中产阶级化毒害了纽约城。专辑《So It Goes》真实地展现了纽约城的百态：璨烂，坚毅，粗野，生生不息，永不停歇。
