My Ghosts Go Ghost: By Storm’s Way Forward

We got caught by storm and we ain’t even know it.” This lyric from Injury Reserve’s final album, By the Time I Get to Phoenix (2021), has retrospectively segued into what was next for rapper RiTchie and producer Parker Corey. The record was shaped by bandmate/rapper Stepa J. Groggs’ untimely passing, imbuing the songs with intense grief and the despondent understanding of growth’s nonlinear process. In the years since, the surviving two have reemerged as By Storm – a name pulled from the lyric and the song title, “Bye Storm.”
