Hip-hop's earliest records often relied on faded, scratchy source material run through entry-level equipment. Even as technology advanced, the grain and the gristle stuck around-- sometimes out of necessity, sometimes as an extra ingredient. Over time, those aged, decaying sounds burrowed their way underground to crop up in pockets of IDM, dubstep, and indie hip-hop, resulting in music, built around texture more than bass or treble, that often sounded ragge
d at birth.
Brilliantly textured and incredibly smooth. Some of the best low tempo beat play I've ever heard; a solid listen from front to back.

i'm not really big on instrumental stuff. it can be really enjoyable when studying, working out, or doing tasks that don't require a lot of focus. but this album was much different. in my opinion, this needs to be listened to as a whole instead of as individual songs, due to the fluid production and thorough instrumentation. flylo did a great job of making an experimental/instrumental hip-hop album. this only makes me more excited to listen to his newer LPs
