A Tape Called Component System With the Auto Reverse

A Tape Called Component System With the Auto Reverse cover art

Framed conceptually as a mixtape recorded from a late-night college radio broadcast, the Chicago-born rapper pays direct homage to the formative hip-hop tapes of his youth. It utilizes boom-bap production from Madlib, Diamond D, and Quelle Chris to support his characteristically hyper-literate, self-deprecating verses about aging in the underground rap scene.
