Sour Soul (BadBadNotGood and Ghostface Killah, 2015)
As of late Ghost seems to be taking a back (?) to basics approach with more straightforward lyrics and a more pronounced, calculated delivery. Uh I can't say it's exactly the turn I was hoping his career would take but at least he's doing something different, and he remains a commanding presence on the mic. Tone's Rap strikes me as one of the keystone tracks, the natural conclusion of years of flirting with self-aware self-parody. BBNG hold up their end admirably and probably do most of the heavy lifting; with almost any other backing this would be a pretty shitty album, but once I got a better sense of what it was going for I definitely enjoyed it.
