Milwaukee’s underground rap scene continues to churn out heat, and kill.dawn is back with “Turnover,” a high-octane two-minute burst that dropped last Friday.

The rising Milwaukee hip-hop artist—who’s been turning heads at Cactus Club shows and popping up on local music roundups—delivers a track that feels like controlled chaos. “Turnover” clocks in at just under two minutes, which is fitting because kill.dawn wastes exactly zero seconds getting to the point. The production leans aggressive, with a driving, uptempo rhythm and a major-key tonality that cuts through the harder edges. It’s the kind of track that plays like an adrenaline shot—energetic and punchy without sacrificing musicality.

What’s interesting here is the vocal approach. There’s a spoken-word intensity layered over the instrumental that blurs the line between rapping and performing poetry in the mosh pit. The track maintains a consistent pulse while keeping the atmosphere slightly unsettled—bright, but with teeth.

Fresh off the heels of “Malibu” earlier this month, “Turnover” suggests kill.dawn isn’t slowing down anytime soon. If you’re looking for something raw out of Milwaukee’s local scene, this one’s worth the spin.
