Finale - “A Pipe Dream and a Promise” - Borrow It

text: Dylan Conlin

Fans of earnest, underground hip-hop shouldn’t ignore Finale‘s A Pipe Dream And A Promise. It may be short on singles, but what it lacks in catchiness, it makes up for with its menacing motor-city flow. With a song produced by the late J Dilla, this album has angles.

Reminds us of: Black Milk | Elzhi | Slum Village

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…
