RL Grime | Grapes EP

At the stroke of midnight, the Wedidit Collective , fronted this time by MPC-party starter, RL Grime , imparts upon it’s audience the long awaited Grapes EP . Get your cell phone out of your pocket and take down their number – that’s (911)-420-6969 – because you might just have the urge to thank them personally after you indulge in this L-pape cone of a release.

20 year old crunk-wunderkind, Henry ‘RL’ Steinway, indulges the considerable expectation that has been mounting around this product since “Grapes a la Vodka,” became every wily DJ’s 2:20am climax jam back in September of last year, with tracks like the thick, yet silky “ Treadstone, ” and the cheekily triumphant, “ Amphibian .” This, his honed talent, along with his impressive posse of like-minded beat-smiths providing everything from the genretic diversity of the LOL Boys ‘ elongated tweak, to the lively nostalgia evoked by Salva’ s number, packs Grapes up into one dense and, dare I say it, “dank” package. Shlohmo and 2KWTVR ‘s contribution, the coincidentally appropriate cherry of this joint, closes the 8-track extended play with a bang so satisfying that I was compelled to relive the moment again…and again…and then a few more times, until i began to question the harmless nature of my audio-habit. In other words, if it were physically possible to smoke this EP, I would. Happy 420.
