Fifteen-plus solo albums in, SC Static operates with the discipline of someone who has nothing left to prove and everything left to say. "The Sesquipedalian" — his debut collaboration with Vietnam-based producer raminbeatz — is notable partly for the geography: a Chester/Warwick MC and a producer operating from the other side of the world, finding common ground in a shared commitment to substance over surface. raminbeatz handles the full sonic architecture, production through mastering, and "I Don't Smoke (For the Taste)" shows the partnership working cleanly — atmospheric beats that give Static's vocabulary room to breathe, which is exactly what his style demands. The album title signals exactly what kind of MC you're dealing with, and the music delivers on that signal.
