The beat on “Freshest Rhymes” recalls the unmatched emotive power of a vinyl sample. There’s a reason why records are the tools of a real hip-hop producer. Alchemist and Oh No have teamed up as Gangrene to remind listeners of the arresting warmth that only analog sound can provide. I’m going to stop dropping cliches about golden age hip-hop and let you fools listen to this shit.
“Freshest Rhymes” comes from the Sawblade EP, out now. Gangrene’s full album Gutter Water drops November 23. Safe to say it will be a last minute addition to many best of 2010 lists. Watch the greatest listening session of all time after the break.
