Habits & Contradictions

A murky, psychedelic descent into the noir-ish streets of Los Angeles. Gritty street narratives meet hazy, sample-heavy production and a uniquely raspy delivery.

It's like a dark, druggy tour of South Central with the best beats of 2012.

A tense, drug-hazed exploration of street life that oscillates between aggressive confidence and hollowed-out vulnerability.
