Description

Ghostface Killah's 2015 collaboration with Toronto jazz/hip-hop trio BadBadNotGood seems to be turning his 2010s work into a themed trilogy. 

The title track weaves a narrative around a hybrid character of Johnny Mnemonic and a pimp, while the music draws on a range of '60s and '70s soundtrack styles, including the seductive "Stark's Reality" with its vibes and strings. "Tone's Rap" is either semi-drunk funk or an aural version of a warped Fat Albert record, and BadBadNotGood prove they can go for the soulful, crafting grooves that bring out the best in any MC.

A perfect example is Ghostface's contribution to the record, which adds weight to the LP with witty punchlines like "they can't feed me food for thought" from "Sour Soul." The result is a soundscape akin to Terry Gilliam's film Brazil on wax.
