New Orleans-based hip-hop producer Wino Willy is originally from Edison, New Jersey, but he was raised in Philadelphia. Rooted in the tradition of crate-digging and Afro-futurist textures, his sound bridges gritty soul and cosmic abstraction. Here, Willy digs into his bag to complement Matthew’s cold-blooded cadence; his production is muddier, and more surreal than his previous work. Samples are deformed and twisted beyond recognition, drums submerged in embalming fluid, all in service of the MC’s relentless narratives. His flow across the beats is precise and fluent. Never an awkward moment or choppy transition; he’s on a singular wavelength the whole way through, gripping the track like a black .45. Friction tape is optional.
