Earthquake Weather - Eqw (2006)

 


 

Here's one for our reader who requested some Beastmaster. I'm really excited for this one as it's an album I'd never heard of until recently, and was lucky enough to scoop up as a physical.

The Beastmaster is a founding member of the Papervehicle collective, best known as the original home of Swashbuckling Napoleon's super producer (and former rapper) Edison. A San Francisco art rap weirdo fest, Papervehicle is one of my personal favorites for their unorthodox lyricism and insanely creative and interesting production.

Earthquake Weather takes Beastmaster, pairs him with Zygoat of Audiopharmacy (a live rap act I know nothing about but can say they're awesome, I own every album they've done as a group) and has them trading dark and gritty abstract rhymes over dusty gloom bap production, with the occasional Jack Nicholson sample thrown in. What's not to like?

Enjoy Eqw!
