Beans

Artist- Beans
Album- End It All
Label- Anticon
Genre- hiphop


This album is insanely good- Brooklyn-based rapper Beans (formerly of the Antipop Consortium) is at his best, and each track is produced by an indie superstar such as TOBACCO, Four Tet, Bumps (aka Tortoise), Sam Fog of Interpol, and more. Beans’ rapping style often consists of staggering his rhymes, and the varied production actually shows how adaptable his rhymes are to different beats. My only complaint is that each track is too damn short: most clock at 2 minutes tops. “Glass Coffin” has a gritty, industrial edge set off by cool 8-bit arpeggiated riffs ; “Mellow You Out” features Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio singing background to Beans’ raps. BEWARE FCC VIOLATIONS
