Three Piece Puzzle

Jarel — later half of Shape of Broad Minds — was already chopping samples into strange little shapes here, beats that swerve when you expect them to stay straight. Nothing sits still for long; a loop will flip halfway through the bar and just keep moving. It's a beat tape more than a rap album, and that's the appeal — no verses to sit through, just ideas stacking on ideas. Play it loud, the low end needs the room.
