Hot Soup

Gritty, soul-sampled Detroit boom bap from the era before the manic squawk. Raw street tales delivered in a rich, hungry baritone.

Thick soul samples and heavy basement dust coat these raw Detroit street tales. Before the famous high-pitched squawk, you hear a hungry, low-register baritone cutting through the crackle of old vinyl. It feels like walking through freezing rain into a crowded kitchen, where the heat is real and the stories are sharp.
