Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada born albeit Compton, California raised emcee Jay Worthy in addition to Honolulu, Hawaii born/Tokyo, Japan raised rapper, singer & producer MadeinTYO becoming a member of forces for a brand new collaborative EP totally produced by the latter. One among whom has been grinding within the underground for the final 7 years & the opposite touchdown a spot within the 2017 XXL Freshman Class producing Ransom’s newest EP Smoke & Mirrors earlier this summer season. Nevertheless, Mr. Tokyo’s persevering with to use strain by linking up with Jay for Time After Time.
After the intro, the primary track “Grasp Delux” is a drumless opener to the EP with each of them present the soundtrack to motherfuckers making bread whereas “Nino” jazzily retains the drums out the image boasting that the paper be doing double flips of their desires. “College Daze” hops over one more naked jazz loop refusing to put up having work to do previous to “Chop” drumlessly speaking about having the milk & not referring to dairy by any means.
“Style Week” maintains the jazz rap vibes working some drums on this time hoping that God forgives them for his or her fortunes & after the interlude, “London Carry-On” goes drumless once more preserving further sugar of their candy tea. The ultimate track “Antiqua Barrio” telling wack MCs to get off the mic being black as they’re Off-White & the outro finishes the EP with a 3-minute instrumental piece.
Like I mentioned a pair months in the past throughout the Smoke & Mirrors overview: I’ve by no means thought-about himself a MadeinTYO fan apart from possibly “Uber In all places”, however he & Jay Worthy cooked up a collab EP that’s as pleasurable as THE AM3RICAN DREAM. His manufacturing’s extra jazzier than it was on the Ransom EP preserving it prominently drumless along with that & lyrically, he & Jay Worthy ping off one another impressively throughout the course of the 24 minutes you get out of Time After Time.
