Par Excellence is the first official collaborative album from D-Stallone and Arkin, eleven tracks presenting a producer-MC partnership built for the long form. Arkin handles all production, and the project description situates the work somewhere between tonal range and thematic coherence – a balance that's harder to achieve than it sounds on a debut full-length. Features arrive from Triipout Wood and D. Goynz, both appearing briefly without distracting from the core duo. The album title positions the project with confidence, inviting comparison to what they see as their best possible work. For a debut joint album this kind of self-assurance is either earned or premature – the production and lyrical substance together will determine which. Independent release, direct to Bandcamp.
