Forward thinking hip-hop from UK producer Paul White. The South London native is known for his innovative productions and Watch The Ants might be the most progressive to date. Utilizing intricate drum programming and moody psych, prog, and world samples, White paints an eclectic soundscape of beats that set the stage for guest rappers Danny Brown, Homeboy Sandman, Sean Price and Trim. Check the style on "Street Lights," "Find A Way" and "Slugs Don't Hug," but for me the instrumentals cuts are the way to go. Peep "Lolita," "Until Tomorrow," "Seagull Conscience" and the epic "Diving Rod." 10 tracks in all, housed in pic sleeve.
