Seventy-Fifth & Amsterdam Side B: Lost In NYC is a stellar new project from Charlotte rapper jaH-Monte of Melanated People. The album’s musical vision is rooted in soul, with beats built around muted drums and nostalgic loops that provide a soothing palette for jaH-Monte’s confident flow. Take “Embarassment of Riches,” which shows JaH flexing over a dusty flute sample courtesy of producer DFNS. Featuring guest appearance by Brain Orchestra and Fly Anakin, Seventy-Fifth & Amsterdam Side B: Lost In NYC is a welcome addition to the experimental rap scene being championed by fellow visionaries like Navy Blue and Billy Woods.
