The first sparks of inspiration trace back to the waning months of 2016, when Nolan starting sifting through packs of beats from the producer 5YNot. Immediately impressed by the lo-fi glitch and SP-303 beats that recall the best of Knxwledge and Tuamie, Nolan set pen to pad. When the producer came home from his tour, the pair congregated at Assemble Studios, a 19th Century church converted into one of the D’s finest laboratories. The finished product ruthlessly achieves its ambition: a one-producer, one-rapper masterpiece that blends the gritty with the groovy – a polished cohesive gem that meets the high bar set by the ambitious artists.
