Review: This one does exactly what it says on the tin - offers up the raw and rather legendary master demo versions of some of the magic that legendary hip-hoppers The Beastie Boys served up on Def Jam. It comes on a super limited edition red vinyl pressing via the 21Bridges label with all of the many classics you would hope to hear included - from the riotousness of 'Fight For Your Right to Party' to the impressive bars of 'Rhyming & Stealin' via the anthemic 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' and plenty more vitally influential tunes of the era like 'Hold It Now Hit It' and 'Time To Get Ill.'

Kawasaki 1992: Live Radio Broadcast Club Citta Kawasaki Japan September 19 1992 (180 gram vinyl LP)
Cat: CL 92539. Rel: 02 Aug 23
Review: Few have ever matched the rawness and visceral hip-hop energy of the Beastie Boys, have they? To catch them live is no doubt one of the most explosive musical experiences of the last 50 years. If you never have, fear not, because an album like this one takes you back in time to be there in the flesh, in this case at Club Citta in Kawasaki, Japan in September 1992. It was a performance broadcast live on radio and it comes now on nice heavyweight vinyl with plenty of lesser-known tunes in amongst some of the bigger moments. A real must for collectors and fans alike.

Review: 'Stand Together' by Beastie Boys is a signature high-energy track from their iconic album Check Your Head. It perfectly resents what the US disruptors were all about with its trademark fusion of hip-hop, punk and funk, explosive instrumentation and dynamic vocal delivery. It's also the name of this broadcast album which comes on yellow vinyl and is a recording of a live TV broadcast the group did back on September 19, 1992 from Kawasaki Citta Club in Kanagawa, Japan. Plenty of their jams of the time - 'Egg Man' and 'Shake Your Rump' being much loved fan favourites especially - feature here, capturing the band at a particularly fertile moment in their career.

Ill Communication (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) (limited 180 gram vinyl 3xLP + insert in spot-varnished lenticular slip-case)
Cat: 650379 0. Rel: 25 Jul 24
Review: Beastie Boys' classic 1994 album, Ill Communication, is getting a special deluxe edition reissue on vinyl to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The remastered 3xLP set resurrects a rare version initially released as a limited run in 2009 that includes 12 bonus tracks - rarities, a live version of Check Your Head's 'The Maestro,' B-sides, and remixes - all adding to what is already a spectacularly varied and wonderfully sprawling album. Ill Communication was the fourth studio album by the New York-based hip-hop ensemble, featuring hit singles like 'Sabotage' and 'Get It Together.' This reissue follows recent re-releases of other Beastie Boys' albums, including Hello, Nasty and Check Your Head and further highlights the group's 'giants of the 90s' status.

Review: Root Down is an experimental album from 1994 when The Beastie Boys locked themselves in a rehearsal space and went to town on studio experimentation and live jamming. It came between "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" and resulted in two previously unreleased versions of the title track and snippets of music recorded while on tour in Europe. There is the typical Beastie Boys mix of floor rocking riffs but with funky new flows stitched in and thus charts the period in which the band went from their post punk guitar roots to a more new-groove driven sound.

Review: Benny On Steroids marks the true debut of Benny The Butcher, showcasing his talent over dark, hardcore boom bap beats entirely produced by DJ Green Lantern. This project stands out as one of the best Griselda releases, demonstrating Benny’s skill and improved beat selection. The album delivers a gritty street-level narrative of Benny’s past, painting vivid scenes of harsh street life with tough, gutter beats that exemplify true Hip-Hop. Benny’s flow is effortless, punctuating every syllable and creating an excellent Hip-Hop album. Standout tracks include 'Benny Vs. Carlito,' 'Fat Dom,' 'Change,' 'Blood Money,' and 'Whole Thing.' These tracks highlight Benny’s ability to balance mafioso themes with laid-back production, slowing his flow to emphasize his lyrical strength. Though the album features few guest appearances, 'Satriale’s' with El Camino and Conway adds solid verses. Overall, Benny On Steroids is a great introduction to Benny’s refined style and Griselda’s gritty nature.

Review: Bruno Berle hails from the coastal Brazilian city of Maceio, and he charmed the world in no uncertain terms with his 2022 album No Reino Dos Afetos. Berle's music is steeped in the tradition of MPB and Brazilian music overall, but he combines dreamy songwriting with an artful kind of lo-fi production which makes his sound all the more charming. This follow-up record once again finds Berle working closely with Batata Boy, drawn from the same seven-year period of developing ideas while moving from Maceio to Sao Paulo via some recording sessions in Rio de Janeiro. It's diaristic and scrapbook like, but rendered with such conviction it swoops in around your grey matter and carries you off to somewhere very pleasant indeed.

Review: Yaya Bey's upcoming album Ten Fold, promises to continue her streak of introspective and socially conscious music. Following the impactful releases of Remember Your North Star and Exodus the North Star, her new album delves deeper into her identity and creative expression. With 'Chasing the Bus,' the latest single from the album, Yaya delivers gentle falsetto vocals and wistful lyrics, reflecting on themes of being overlooked and underestimated, both in romantic relationships and within the music industry. The song serves as a poignant reminder for self-affirmation and letting go of the need for validation and Yaya's self-directed music video complements the track's introspective tone, showcasing her artistic vision and creativity, setting up Ten Fold to look like a compelling and thought-provoking exxperience.

Review: In what must be one of THE record releases of the year, Queen Bey is back with her majestic new album. As has been hotly discussed online, this album finds her embracing club music in no uncertain terms, with collaborators like Honey Dijon and Green Velvet lending their expert house touch to the fiercest force pop music has ever witnessed.

Review: American soul man Bilal dropped his debut album in 2001. Back then, r&b and neo-soul were in their golden times and Bilal was one of the best in the game. The singer songwriter was of course part of he influential 90s collective The Soulquarians alongside members D'Angelo, Q-Tip, Common and Questlove and some of those feature here as well as the likes of Robert Glasper. Production was taken care of by none other than Dr Dre alongside Raphael Saadiq and J Dilla.

Album Of The Year (reissue) (limited numbered translucent gold nugget 2xLP in embossed sleeve)
Cat: VMP 151. Rel: 01 Jan 90
Review: Black Milk’s fourth studio album, the humbly titled Album Of The Year, was produced almost entirely by himself, with minimal assistance from Will Sessions, and originally released in 2010 via Fat Beats. Boasting the massive, bulldogging ‘365’ for starters, Black Milk’s perennial achievement only extends to ever more gain, nailing an idiomatic bossy, noughties-to-tens stadium hip-hop sound. This nonetheless varies itself, as we move from funk-sampling bombasts like ‘Deadly Medley’ to on-the-floor ass-slingers such as ‘Distortion’ and romantic bouncing-car lowriders like ‘Over Again’, on which Monica Blaire’s vocals especially shine. Now Vinyl Me Please reissue the rapper’s milestone record on limited edition "gold nugget” vinyl, limiting it to just 1000 copies.

Eversince (stylised as 3V3R51NC3) served as the official debut LP from Bladee, originally released in 2022, and showcased a continuation of the vaporwave indebted stylings of the prolific artist's myriad of mixtapes while taking creative leaps in its expansion to encompass elements of new wave, synth-pop and even gothic post-punk, with Reichwald's hazy, xanned out deliver submerged under aquatic levels of reverb and auto-tune, bouncing from synth-laden trap textures to more stripped down, emotive, abstract minimalism.

Review: QB Legend Blaq Poet of Screwball fame's all new Blaq Dawn album has been produced in its entirety by Furio and features some old school scratching through done by DJ Clif and DJ Tray. This is dark and menacing hip hop with edgy synths and low slung grooves that keep you locked on. The lyrics are storytelling and the beats cinematic with plenty of scene-setting skits in between the main tunes. Cuts like 'Who Want Beef?!' and 'No Questions' are some of the standouts amongst many here.

Review: Originating from Hameenlinna, Finland, the DJ and producer duo Tuure Tammi and Juha Sarkkola are The Blassics. What started as a small instrumental funk project has since grown into a nine-piece instrumental band and that aims to distil the energy of their live shows into equally captivating records. Their style harks back to rough original funk 7" and draws on Afrobeat and jazz. Breaks & Juicy Takes is their new LP and one with 11 brilliantly infectious blends of broken beat, dub and nu-jazz and it's a lively, vibrant blend of hooks, basslines and melodies that will never grow old.

Gratitude (gatefold silver vinyl LP + booklet)
Cat: 007567 8603006. Rel: 23 Jan 25
Review: Following her 2022 effort Good Morning Gorgeous, Gratitude reflects Blige's current state of grace and resilience while retracing the musical motifs that defined her 1990s heyday. Kicking off with 'Breathin', featuring Fabolous, the track melds nostalgia with fresh energy, sampling classics like Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Kick in the Door'. Blige's powerhouse vocals shine, though the production occasionally feels mismatched. Tracks like 'Need You More' featuring Jadakiss and 'Beautiful People' deliver rich grooves, revisiting her roots while embracing contemporary sounds. Highlights include the anthemic 'You Ain't the Only One' and the genre-defying 'Never Give Up on Me', which seamlessly blends funk, disco and soul. Ballads like 'Here I Am' and the empowering 'Superpowers' reaffirm Blige's vocal prowess and emotional depth. Collaborations with Fat Joe and A$AP Ferg on closing tracks 'God's Child' and 'I Got Plans' bring the album full circle with a nostalgic yet dynamic finish. Gratitude only serves to reinforce Blige's legacy, her vocals stronger than ever and her storytelling as compelling as it is heartfelt.

It takes him away from his dark r&b and G-funk blend to a brighter, more upbeat alternative sound. This concept album tells the coming-of-age story of a teenage boy in the 90s exploring love and lust. The 13 tracks include singles like 'Want You,' 'XXX' (feat. Wiz Khalifa), 'Stank Rose' (feat.

Music By Cavelight (20th Anniversary Edition) (gatefold forest green marbled vinyl 4xLP)
Cat: ZEN 88XX. Rel: 26 Sep 24
Review: 20 years on from its initial release in 2004, Ninja Tune share the first ever reissue of Blockhead's Music By Cavelight. The New York-based alias of Tony Simon, this record is the quintessence of Ninja Tune's smoked-out trip-hop sound at the time, and for which Simon himself likewise came to be known. Recalling a time when instrumental beatsmiths were much likelier to consider their crafts artful enough to warrant calling their studios beat-smithies (as compared to the sadly throwaway feel of much instrumental hip-hop today), one can really hear the subtlety and care poured into each vignette here, our favourites among which are 'Bullfight In Ireland', 'Graveyard Hunt' and 'Bloop Bloop'; all play back like studies of a gritty, degage, sun-bathed vision of a bygone big smoke.

Review: A decade after Blockhead dropped his seminal Interludes After Midnight album it gets a deserving reissue on Ninja Tune. Blockhead is of course an alias of the revered New York producer Tony Simon who is reissuing all his albums at the moment. This one set a blueprint for the broken beat and nu jazz scene, with elements of trip hop and downtempo also colouring the grooves. Some tunes like 'Never Forget Your Token' have a Latin feel thanks to the keys and breaks, others are more psyched out late night store jams like 'Hungover Like Woah.' All are great.

Mortality Is Lit! (gatefold pink & blue splattered vinyl 2xLP limited to 250 copies)
Cat: FAR 138LP. Rel: 25 Nov 24
Review: Blockhead returns with a brilliant new album, weaving themes of death, afterlife and cyclical patterns through his signature sample-based sound. Known for his work with Aesop Rock and Ninja Tune, Blockhead has become a master at blending downtempo and upbeat styles across jazz, funk, blues and more. His ability to create expansive narratives without relying heavily on lyrics continues to thrill, using only a few vocal samples to guide the listener. The album explores life's natural endings with humor, irony and a touch of sarcasm, reflecting on the inevitable cycles that persist beyond individual experiences. Tracks like 'Earth's Farewell Tour' and 'They Got Therapy For That' offer introspection, while others, such as 'Dolphin Lundgren' and 'Burning Man in Tehran', provide joyful, quirky moments. Fans of Blockhead's work will appreciate the playful elements, with even a couple of tracks for the lovers. Not to be missed is the juxtaposition of Middle Eastern disco and festival vibes. The album is a perfect balance of humour and introspection as we reflect on cycles and endings.

Review: In 1993, Bangin' On Wax marked a pivotal moment in West Coast gangsta rap by managing to unite members of LA's infamous rival gangs-the Crips from Compton, Watts and Long Beach, and the Bloods from Inglewood and Los Angeles. The project aimed to channel gang tensions into music rather than violence with auditions selecting the best MCs for the album. Proceeds supported local schools and parks for children and now, 30 years later, this historic release returns for Black Friday as a double vinyl set featuring tracks previously exclusive to CD, all pressed on red and blue vinyl. A superb work in more ways than one.

Review: Kurtis Walker, known as Kurtis Blow, made history as the first rapper signed to a major US record label, Mercury, in 1979. His debut single, the fun and festive 'Christmas Rappin',' sold nearly half a million copies. It was followed by 'The Breaks,' the first rap single to go Gold with over a million copies sold. His self-titled debut album in 1980 led to international performances in Europe and Japan and helped to spread hip-hop globally. Kurtis Blow's prolific career includes fifteen albums and hits like 'America,' 'If I Ruled The World' (famously later sampled by The Fugees and Nas), and collaborations with The Fat Boys, Run D.M.C., Sheila E., and Kool & The Gang. This double vinyl collection rightly celebrates his influential legacy.

Dean Blunt is nothing short of an enigma. Whether you're reading one of his interviews of few words, listening to the records that seem to both celebrate the avant-garde and obsess over it, or watching him descend into strange, otherworldly cacophonies on stage, usually shrouded in smoke, he's never really been an easy guy to pin down. And that's exactly what he's always been going for.
It's something of a surprise, then, to learn that Black Metal 2, the long-awaited, seven years in the making sequel to his critically acclaimed Black Metal, is actually pretty straight forward. In a Dean Blunt kind of way. Opening on the compressed strings and near-spoken word of 'Vigil', the record takes us into the deep dark depths of strange, hook-fuelled guitar poetry, and we never want to find our way back.

Review: Athens of the North is back in business this new year with a couple of singles as well as a new album dropping before the end of January. This time it is Bo'vel's Changes album that gets served up on wax having teased the act by including them on a compilation Just A Touch late last year. Their soul sound is distantly UK-centric but with influxes from dub, funk and more. That is well showcased here across ten tracks that were famously made in the mid-90s in Manchester without a big budget or big press campaign but became cult classics all the same.

Comprised of ten tracks, the album stays true to their gritty, street-centered narratives, blending slow-paced, hard-hitting bars with Conductor's eerie, sample-laden beats.

The guest features from Boldy's son and sister add some texture to the project as well.

Boogie Down Productions' 1989 release stands as one of hip-hop's most important but often overlooked albums. While many celebrate the group's early work, this record delivers a unique blend of lyrical depth and musical innovation that makes it just as essential.

The album features powerful tracks like 'You Must Learn' and 'Why Is That?'. where KRS-One tackles issues ranging from education to religion with unflinching clarity. The anti-police anthem 'Who Protects Us From You' remains painfully relevant today, highlighting the album's ability to speak truth to power. 1989 was a transformative year for hip-hop. Amidst a genre explosion, the album's lessons were a revelation, challenging listeners to think critically and embrace their own potential. The infectious beats and KRS-One's wisdom left a lasting impression, creating an album that wasn't just entertaining, but educational. For younger fans, this reissue offers a chance to discover a foundational moment in hip-hop's history, underscoring the genre's ability to both entertain and enlighten.

Sex & Violence (limited gatefold purple spattered vinyl 2xLP + insert)
Cat: GETLP 51515. Rel: 29 Jul 24
Review: In the early 1990s as gangsta rap rose in popularity, KRS-One remained committed to socially conscious lyrics and the culminated in the hard-hitting 1992 album Sex and Violence. This fifth and final studio release from Boogie Down Productions, produced by KRS-One, Pal Joey, Kenny Parker, D-Square, and Prince Paul, delves into the darker aspects of American urban life. While singles like the intense 'Duck Down' and funky 'We In There' garnered attention, tracks such as 'Drug Dealer,' 'Ruff Ruff,' 'Questions and Answers,' and 'How Not To Get Jerked' stand out. Featuring an intro skit about a DJ's vinyl panic, this reissue by Get On Down and Sony Music's CERTIFIED brings the album back to vinyl, with a great splatter-coloured pressing.

Review: Bran Van 3000's The Garden is their fourth studio album and another subtle evolution of their signature genre-blending sound. Rooted in prog-rock grooves and boogie flair, the album explores romantic and reflective territory without losing the collective's playful spirit. On the album, which arrives as a special for this year's Record Store Day, James Di Salvio is joined by longtime collaborators and fresh talent alike to create a lush collaborative soundscape that's rich in emotion and rhythm. The tracks all exude soulful vocals, brass-laced arrangements and global sonic textures, which help to make The Garden is a mature yet adventurous chapter in BV3's musical journey.

In God We Trust (30th Anniversary Edition) (limited 2xLP + 7")
Cat: TB 52711. Rel: 02 Feb 23
Review: In God We Trust is the second album from East Cost hip-hop group Brand Nubian. Industrial and boomy - the warring kind of hip-hop one might expect to hear blasted from a makeshift soundsystem at an insurrectionary revolution - the album, following their debut 'One For All' in 1993, hears the best creative synergies of its members Grand Puba, Sadat X, and Lord Jamar. Equating god to money is a core principle of irony at the root of much rap, and here it's on full display; 'Meaning Of The 5%' and 'Black Star Lines' are among the highlights in this vein, with lines such as "black man, change your demeanour" and "the gods must be crazy," highlighting the rightful suspicion towards Mammonism in the black consciousness of the US.

The Architecture Of Oppression Part 2 (gatefold 2xLP)
Cat: BBE 766ALP. Rel: 30 May 24
Review: They say that where there is repetition, there is unfinished business; that where there is a broken record, there is a will for that breakage to be attended to. So too does the eponymous alias of Jake Alias, The Brkn Record, know this. The Architecture Of Oppression Part 2 is Ferguson's next album for the righteous future jazz project; an earnest admixture of spoken word and slam poetry set against ambient jazzscapes and cinematic post-noir shades. Showcasing the manifold talents of wordsmiths the likes of Toyin Agbetu and Ugochi Nwaogwugwu, both of whom ponder the nature of freedom as it exists in its best articulated form today - the continued articulation of freedom being the driving force of history - The Architecture Of Oppression Part 2 deploys a righteous infrasound to deconstruct the edifices that impinge on this freedom, brick by brick.

Season Of Da Siccness 2: Kevlar (limited orange & black splattered vinyl LP + booklet)
Cat: RB 9404934. Rel: 31 Jul 24
Review: Season Of Da Siccness by Brotha Lynch Hung is a cornerstone of horrorcore, marking an era when the genre mingled grimly with G-Funk. Released in 1995, this album dives deep into the darkest corners of urban life and Lynch's personal turmoil, particularly the drive-by shooting of his cousin. Lynch's production on the ASR-10, combined with his searing lyrics and relentless flow, creates a chilling cinematic experience akin to a slasher film set in the hood. Standout tracks like 'Return of Da Baby Killa' and 'Rest in Piss' showcase Lynch's ability to blend grotesque narratives with intricate wordplay, setting a high bar for lyrical prowess in rap. Brotha Lynch Hung's complete control over the production, mixing, and mastering adds a personal touch that elevates the project, making Season Of Da Siccness a brutally honest slice of life. This album remains a significant work in hip-hop, celebrated for its unique blend of horror storytelling and G-Funk beats.

11:11 (Deluxe Edition) (limited trifold translucent red marbled vinyl 3xLP)
Cat: RCA 8861311. Rel: 13 Sep 24
Review: Chris Brown's deluxe edition of 11:11 adds 13 new tracks to the original release, bringing the total to an impressive 35 across this triple vinyl set. The album opens with 'Bruce Lee,' a heartfelt ballad where Brown reflects on relationship struggles, using water as a metaphor for resilience.

Review: This album allows listeners to experience the TrillBurgers owner deliver impeccable bars over Statik Selektah's exquisite, old-school hip-hop beats. In each track, he seizes full command of the beats, delivering deep, trill content with a seamless flow and mastery of wordplay. Despite rap being secondary to him now, Bun has unmistakably maintained his status as a skilled MC. Trillstatik 3 features a diverse lineup of underground and underdog rappers, each seamlessly complementing the energy of the cold beats and contributing to a cohesive flow throughout the album. The verses delivered by Benny The Butcher, Method Man, Smoke DZA, Termanology and Kota The Friend stand out particularly and if you are a fan of authentic, old-school, bar-heavy hip-hop albums, you will really enjoy Trillstatik 3.

Review: Steel City electro-funk wizard BusCrates shows that not only American counterparts like Dam Funk can lay down seductive funk smoochers with his second full-length album, Control Center. Soraya Watti is on hand to provide smooth and soulful tones on 'On My Way', the only track with a voice, and its beautifully downbeat gem that harks back to classic Erykah Badu tunes from days gone by. Elsewhere there are whimsical synth laced daydreams like 'Four Track Mind' and sax-led slow motion funk wigglers like 'Prisms'. It's a gorgeous album for both background play and up front listens.

If You Don't Know Now You Know (feat Big Tigger - part 2)
Review: After an explosive announcement trailer showing American MC legend Busta Rhymes on a four way call with some of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time it's hard not to be excited: Pharell Williams, Timbaland and Swizz Beats. His 11th studio album. Busta is indisputably one of the top 50 MCs of all time, a gracious and benevolent force in the industry that has played a hand in Miss Elliot's career, as well as a host of others on his self-founded label Conglomerate. Busta is no nice guy though, with a spine-chilling level of raw talent he's one of the smartest to hold the mic in our time. If 2020's 'Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God' is anything to go off, expect a star-studded line-up, with that album having appearances from Eminem, Mary J Blige, Rapsody, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Q-Tip, Kendrick Lamar, Mariah Carey, Rick Ross and more. When Busta knocks, you answer. Even Timbaland bows to the king: "I'm so grateful that you chose for me to be a part of your legacy".

Letters From The Atlantic (translucent blue vinyl LP)
Cat: CJA 1032. Rel: 27 Mar 25
Review: Virginia collective Butcher Brown flaunt their lapidary, multifaceted flair for transversal jazz on their new album for Concord Jazz, via a seamless blend of funk, r&b, soul, bossa nova and much, much else. Through the collective persona of Butcher Brown - an imagined philosopher jazzmaster king, whose grasp of music is said to owe much to legacies of garage punk and jazz funk - the smooth quintet say this "joint" was recorded with the intention of recreating the kind of music one might find oneself dancing to in a club in New York and the UK, attesting all of the band members' compounded skills as music producers. Chopping up samples whilst performing on the fly, the record takes its name from the fact that all members were "pulling samples from across the Atlantic", building their grooves around them.

Review: South London rapper Confucius MC returns to Native Rebel Recordings for a new project alongside producer and multi-instrumentalist Bastien Keb. Dedicated to the "lost travellers" of the world, this is an album of pop-filterless texture and raw admission, filled to the brim with political messaging and wisdom in the face of oppressive social machinery. Toeing lines of fairytale realism and soul-feeder contrition, Keb and Confucius muse on dilemmas of eternal life, striving, perseverance and recompense, crafting a near drumless hip-hop album for veteran ears.

What Have We Done (LP + MP3 download code limited to 300 copies)
Cat: LFP 032. Rel: 05 Aug 24
Review: Underground hip-hop veterans Dillon and Batsauce have crafted unorthodox rap music together for nearly 20 years. With Batsauce on beats and Dillon on lyrics, their latest effort, What Have We Done, reflects their unique journey. The title might be rhetorical, inviting listeners to explore the trials, small victories, and major setbacks of being aging independent artists in today's tough music industry. This album features a well-curated crew, including legends like Grand Puba and Kool Keith, alongside modern rap heroes Quelle Chris and Reef the Lost Cauze. The result is a diverse collection that ranges from personal to aspirational, and occasionally delusional. What Have We Done offers a visceral reaction to a life lived on the edge, presenting a raw, unfiltered view of their experiences. Whether it's 'too much' or 'not enough,' the answer remains open to interpretation. This album is an honest talking about through the ups and downs of long-time hip-hop creators.

Glorious Game (limited sky high coloured vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: BCR 122LPC2. Rel: 13 Apr 23
Review: Cinematic soul maestro El Michels Affair unleashes his latest collaboration with Roots co-founder and lyricist Black Thought, bowling full speed ahead into the next phase of his career. Glorious Game is an album-length ode to "the game", an ephemeral concept loosely denoting the group practice of ladder-climbing in hip-hop; the divine hustle; life itself. Through bright soul-tinged electronic beats, instrumental contributions from session artists, and introspective lyrics, the pair once more prove themselves able to convey a complex sonic world.
