B1 The Architect & Flu Dust "As It Turns Out.." [ALBUM]

B1 The Architect works best in partnerships: the Toronto MC's catalogue is built largely from duo projects with G Fam Black, Young Reese Dude, Mark Jordan, DJ Goadman, Flashbang Jimmy and others, and As It Turns Out.. brings an Australian producer into that run. Flu Dust made every beat across the eleven tracks of the full length album, while B1 wrote and performed the verses and also mixed and mastered the record, the same engineering role B1 took on for earlier collaborations. The three guests come out of that wider circle of partners. G Fam Black, who shared the project GRIME SUPPLIERS with B1, appears on "I Hate This Fuckin' Place." Young Reese Dude, B1's partner on All Things Considered.. and the single "Wake Up To The Madness," also returns for a guest spot. New Villain, a fellow Toronto lyricist, steps onto "How I Became The Villain"; their double single The Dark Hour/Beyond Life & Death was presented as the pair's first official collaboration, with B1 producing, mixing and mastering it and editing its video. The release notes frame the new album around depression, hopelessness, political and social conflict and identity, and mention multiple songs dedicated to storytelling, highlighting "The Gunslinger's Redemption" and the closing "You Should Forget Me" as especially powerful ones. Eclyse created the front artwork and worked with B1 on the back cover.
