Taking a sharp detour from synthesizer-heavy, uptempo modern funk tracks, XL Middleton teams up with mysterious producer Delmar Xavier VII to rap over a deftly curated selection of Japanese city pop flips on their self-titled duo debut. Lyrically, the album is a collection of vignettes in which XL details LA life over the last year, living in the corona era.
