Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition of verses on Tour Stories where the emcees finish each other's sentences over a wandering bassline.
The way the drums on Won! snap with a crispness that feels like a direct throwback to the early 90s SP-1200 sound.
The atmospheric jazz piano loop on Proper Aim that creates a sense of suspended time beneath the intricate rhyme schemes.
