crossover time. this time it was adam's choice. you can read his original post here.
this is another team up between Why? and Odd Nosdam. i've always liked Why?'s approach to hip hop. the easiest way for me to describe my take on it is that it's not hip hop but it's also very much not NOT hip hop. i'd say Odd Nosdam has a similar approach as well, at least here. the album has a very experimental feel and there are a lot of cool sound collage "instrumentals" in between the tracks that feature rapping/singing, though those tracks also feel really experimental.
i'm not super into hip hop but i always know i can expect something interesting and entertaining from these 2, especially when they're working together.
