hype williams-kelly price w8 gain vol ii

Kelly Price W8 Gain Vol.II EP is the four track Hyperdub debut from Hype Williams, a group with two core members who have spawned a steadily growing labyrinth of hermetic, audio/visual surrealism, and have attracted the attention of many inquisitive and occasionally confused eyes and ears. Hype Williams' hazy aesthetic gives these tracks an opiated glow from the get go. 'Rise Up' buries Inga Copeland's soft untrained vocal in slow kicks and the most warm, ecstatic chords this side of early New Jersey Garage. The rough dub feel and hand punched drums of 'Boss Man' are matched with cloud-like Detroit chords and smudged melodies that sound like they're borrowed off a lost Wiley Sino-Grime classic
