Opio's most recent work is a six-track collaboration with producer the Architect. His smooth vocals float in and out of 70's funk beats liberally decorated with the Architect's samplings of TV and radio speeches. While the aesthetic is largely one-dimensional, the tracks flow comfortably into one another. The product is a cohesive fifteen minutes of hip hop that fly by as quickly as summer. Will easily satisify anyone still hungry after the January release of the Souls of Mischief "Tour Stories" EP.
The Architect
i've only had this on my player for about a day and the entire ep received seven plays in a row. it's ridiculous how hot this is. granted, it's hard to go wrong when you're working with Ayers, but honestly...you had me at Sun Ra...
