Wish Master has been a consistent and underappreciated presence in the UK underground for over a decade, operating independently through his own O.R Records imprint out of Bristol's St. Pauls neighborhood — the same area that gave rise to trip-hop through the Wild Bunch collective in the 1980s. His previous project No CPR, released through Tricky's False Idols label, showed he could operate at that level of quality without compromising the rugged, cinematic hip-hop foundation he's built his name on. Da Business arrives ten tracks deep with features from Bristol scene veterans Datkid and Matey Boy on tracks 4 and 5. Production from Dumb Logic anchors the sound in moody, dusty boom bap that rewards close attention. This is the sound of a craftsman who knows exactly what he's doing and has no interest in explaining it to the wrong audience.
