The Underground Tapes

Raw and punchy, recorded before Saukrates blew up in Canadian hip hop circles and it sounds like it — in a good way. The production is stripped and the rhymes land with confidence that doesn't need polish to back it up. The bass is right up front and the drums hit without a lot of layering or decoration. Short, focused, no wasted motion.
