Niagara

Warm soul loops and dusty jazz samples provide the backdrop for a teenage perspective that feels decades older. A sun-drenched, introspective hip-hop masterclass.

It sounds like the best soul record you've never heard, chopped up by a kid who's wise beyond his years.

A resilient and soulful introspection that feels like finding clarity in the middle of a transition.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the soul sample on Weight swells and recedes like a tide under the steady percussion.

The sudden, triumphant burst of brass that cuts through the hazy atmosphere of 5500.

The vulnerable, stripped-back vocal delivery on Drown where the beat almost disappears into a wash of reverb.
