Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition into the Us Placers beat where the Thom Yorke sample creates an eerie, beautiful tension.
The raw, unpolished energy of the Tapemasters Inc Freestyle showing off pure technical athleticism.
The way the Daydreamin remix strips back the polish for a more immediate, street-level urgency.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
