The Platform

Alchemist and Evidence handle a chunk of the boards here and it shows — everything's got that dusty scratch-and-snare backbone. "Work the Angles" is the one that gets replayed, but the real draw is how Rakaa and Evidence trade bars without ever stepping on each other. This is turntablism-era rap, DJ Babu cuts included, made for people who miss beats with actual grit in them.
