Proclamations of his greatness may be slightly exaggerated, but Cosmogramma certainly adds to a deservedly growing reputation It is nothing short of incredible to hear this immensely talented figure in the brave, new world of West Coast hip-hop embrace his legacy with open arms He understands that it's about the voice as much as the beatsĮven if this space opera doesn’t quite make it all the way to the stars, we still get to visit some pretty extraordinary places before the phat lady sings And The World Laughs With You, which is immediately recognisable as something in the mode of The EraserĪ deep, spiraling crevasse of psychotropic music that is hard to refuse Vocals are a rare extravagance but when they do appear they’re worth it.
