Shitao is only charging a dollar for a whole album of evocative, precise, lovingly-produced hip-hop beat-making. The tracks do tend to be a little funereal, but when they work, they work well. I'd like to hear Shitao push the tension and funk in future releases because the skills are definitely there. spatchcock
