No Fear of Time

Black Star

A murky, guerrilla-recorded reunion defined by Madlib's dusty loops and two masters trading dense, philosophical verses in hotel rooms.

Find on Amazon

It's like eavesdropping on two geniuses rapping over dusty loops in a dimly lit hotel room.

A dense, intellectual fog that reveals profound truths through a hazy, lo-fi lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the way the beat on 'o.G.' feels like it's stumbling forward but never falls
the hypnotic seven-minute sprawl of 'Freequency' where the flows become liquid
the abrupt ending of 'Sweetheart. Sweethard. Sweetodd.' that leaves the loop ringing in your ears
