Style: Instrumental hip hop
Primary Emotions/Themes: Urban life and settings
Thoughts: I've been digging through the depths of my collection of late. Finding albums that I forgot I had and putting them on the turntable. It's a wonderful experience rediscovering all these old albums that I haven't listened to in several years. Hydrogenji is the latest in a long series of records that have been collecting dust on my shelves. Well, it's been cleaned and now it's on my turntable to reveal its secrets to me.
Next Heap of Sequences is simply put an amazing hip hop album. There is nothing about this that would be considered exceptionally challenging or different. Nothing on it that would require a deep sense of concentration to truly wrap my head around. It's just simple grooves, excellently sampled instruments, and high class beats.
It's my understanding that this album came out in 2017. The thing about it is that it sounds like it's straight out of the ninety's. The grooves, the instrumentals, the beats... they all ooze mid ninety's hip hop. They even have the sampled female "oh" on a few of the songs... it's pure nostalgia.
Even as I'm sitting here writing this, I've had to stop a few times and take in the beat. This thing is that infectious. Out of all the stuff I have in my collection, I forget that I've got bangers like this one. I was so obsessed with getting new things into the collection all the time that I forget what I have. As of this writing I've barely bought anything for the year and I intended to keep it that way. The discovery of albums like Next Heap of Sequences helps me rediscover my love of music collecting and what I already have. Highly recommended.
