The second full scale instrumentals set from Michigan underground hip hop veteran 14KT – one that stands up strongly among the best of his stuff that we've heard to date! The preceding Golden Hour instrumentals set was a tribute to Dilla, and damn fine one – and it's all the more rewarded to hear 14KT represent his own creatively as sharply as it's done here. Unpredictable beats paired with insistent melodies and a soulful undercurrent. Includes "Pick Up Sticks", "Blindsided", "Blessed", "Lessons From IX Love", "As We (Turn It Up)", "Rain Delay", "March Madness", "Another Age", "Where Else? (One For ATCQ)", "Width" feat Tony Ozier and more.
