Charlotte's
Deniro Farrar and East Oakland's
Shady Blaze, having twice collaborated on Farrar's album
Destiny Altered, have linked again for a joint LP of their own, out May 15th. On the first single, which features another
Altered alumnus, G-Side's
ST 2 Lettaz, Farrar raps wickedly dark with his cadence restrained, contrasting Blaze's unreserved verse, like a dam busting. In its low-key smoothness, this might be one of
Ryan Hemsworth’s best beats, with a muffled, Clams Casino-indebted vocal sample but his distinctive keys shining through like sun between cracks in the paranoid rappers' blinds.
