"Through The Walls" comes from Since We Last Spoke, the second studio album from RJD2, which Definitive Jux put out in 2004. The credits keep it all in one pair of hands: Ramble Jon Krohn is listed as producer, composer and lyricist.
The record around it is a restless, genre-hopping ride that critics mostly loved, averaging 80 on Metacritic across 21 reviews. The A.V. Club heard it as a dial spun through every station on the air, past and present, that somehow comes out the other side with a real pop streak. It made only modest dents in the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200, but one station's listeners held on to this track for a decade.
