Rich & Black Ft Nas / Crane Style Ft Busta Rhymes brings Raekwon’s musical voice to vinyl. Raekwon brings a vivid, tightly wound storytelling style to East Coast hip-hop. Detail matters in his verses: a passing image, an unusual turn of phrase and the way a line sits against the beat all contribute to the atmosphere.
Voice, rhythm and production work as interlocking parts of the record. The space around a line, the texture of a loop and the placement of the drums all shape how the writing lands, giving the music detail beyond an immediately recognizable hook. The program includes “Snake Pond”, “Crane Style”.
