Larry June<\/a>, Curren$y<\/a>, and the Alchemist<\/a> have run in the same circles (and united in pairs) for years, but Spiral Staircases marks the first time they’ve made things official. June brings the jazz and psych-rock textures of Bay Area hip-hop; Curren$y lays down sharp bars in distinctly Southern cadences; and the Alchemist ties it all together with a characteristically smooth, rich finish. The trio exemplify the kind of swagger that only comes with time, confidence, a healthy sex life, and a hint of therapy\u2014clout chasers need not apply.<\/p>\n

Skaiwater: Wonderful [GoodTalk]\"Image<\/p>\n

In the MCU of modern rage rap, UK-born Skaiwater is a dead ringer for Doctor Strange\u2014a master of the mystic art of imploding 808s and howling in a whisper. Their latest record, Wonderful, is their first as an independent artist, and splits the difference between frenzied, blown-fuse cuts and quieter, romantic R&B fare. Exploring new territory like misty post-punk, emo rock, and heartfelt chipmunk soul, the polymath expands their pallet and flexes their Letterboxd list with track titles \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d and \u201cThe Substance.\u201d \u00d8Way flagbearer Tezzus, Los Angeles musician Ti Steele, and Crime Mob affiliate Diamond all feature; Bankroll Got It and North West (yes, that one) have production credits.<\/p>\n
