With a flow that kind of reminds me of Charles Hamilton and stellar wordplay, Chicago artist ANXT sent this one through my email recently. I’m a sucker for lo-fi production and mastering (I mean, it’s me we’re talking about here), so I immediately gave this quickie (it clocks in at about seventeen minutes spread over six […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @VinceStaples – Big Fish Theory
From a release that celebrates the vibe of it all to a project that has more of a well-rounded concept, we’re given Vince Staples’ second album, Big Fish Theory.
