#530 Decompoze - Decomposition

Frequent Binary Star collaborator, this is rap in roughly the same vein, though coming out more sedated, with some of the same levels of insane rhyming knots found on Waterworld/Masters of the Universe.

The main problem is the production, which is bare bones stone soup spare, adding a bit of headbobbery, but really no emotional depth, no tonal resonance. There's only so much you can do with repeated, open, jazzy basslines and some synthy snare taps.

Plus, as with so many rap albums, it overstays its welcome. At an hour of largely samey raps, this isn't something I'm ever listen to straight though ever again, which is kind of a deal breaker 3/5
