Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his prolific streak of highly cerebral underground releases, the Los Angeles-based MC delivers a brief but potent collection on his own Auto Reverse label. The project leans heavily on dusty, drumless loops and intricate jazz samples, providing the perfect canvas for his signature conversational, highly observant rhyme schemes. It highlights his unique ability to blend poignant autobiographical reflection with absurd, deadpan humor.
