Preservation operates in a production register that few others occupy — his sampling approach is genuinely avant-garde, constructing atmospheres that sit between dream states and confrontation, dense with reference while remaining immediately accessible as music. "Blue Angel" is taken from CRIMEAPPLE's album Beemer on Broadway, and the pairing continues a collaborative run that has produced some of the most formally interesting work in the current underground. CRIMEAPPLE's wordplay is sophisticated and unhurried, delivered over Preservation's haze with the ease of someone who trusts the environment completely. The visual, directed by Honey JD, extends the cinematic quality of the audio. The two together push at the edges of what underground rap can be without losing contact with what makes it rap.
