Stu Bangas builds his productions with a particular density — drums that arrive like they mean business, arrangements that don't overstay, a Boom Bap sensibility that has made him one of the more sought-after figures on the current independent circuit. "Strangers" is a single from the collaborative album "Chemistry" with Wordsworth, and it brings in Sage Francis and Wrekonize for a track that earns the word. Four MCs with meaningfully different voices and styles, placed over production that gives each of them something to work against rather than simply occupy. Wordsworth leads with his characteristic lyrical precision, and the guests contribute contrast without disrupting the track's internal logic. Available on CD and vinyl.
