This album deserves a whole lot more hype and promotion than it’s received. ‘Gotham’ is only a taster and it’s better than a majority of more well-known and hyped artists I’ve heard recently. We’ve promoted these guys before, but you need to take our word for it and give them a serious listen. Honestly, I haven’t heard a group or rapper take hip-hop in this direction for a long time, especially when it comes to Rain’s production. It’s weird, almost computer game-esqe but firmly rooted in tasty drum beats and a healthy dose of scratching. I know it’s only January but I’m already reserving a place in my top 5 hip-hop records for this release. No exaggeration, and no gassing this is all true. Hop on the bandwagon. I could say for fans of, but they’re all pretty different so here’s 5 to give you an idea, kind of:
Aesop Rock, Ant (Atmosphere), Cunninlynguists, Ryan Lewis, Blue Scholars.
Buy this album.
