Hoffman West E.P

Snakehips

Dusty, short-form instrumental hip-hop sketches. A hazy collection of soul-sampled beats that feel like a late-night walk through a rain-slicked city.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'staring out a rainy window' beat tape from before they were famous.

A hazy, nostalgic drift through late-night urban solitude.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the vocal loop in 'If You Feel Like I Do' feels like a distant memory struggling to surface through the bass.
The sudden, warm guitar lick that cuts through the hazy percussion on 'Fuji' like a brief moment of clarity.
The title track's closing minute where the beat dissolves into a wash of ambient hiss and muffled soul chords.
