Qwazaar and Batsauce

This collaboration unites Qwaazar's impeccable Southside Chicago rap pedigree with Batsauce's easy pulsing production from Berlin. Qwa is an effortless intersection between technical perfection and confessional storytelling. His ease on the mic is palpable, especially when he breaks into the little croon, "your daddy smokes marijuana... and you will too" then spits a dizzying rat-ta-tat verse on "Daddy Smokes." "Love Liez" uses a sighing accordion with plodding bucket drums as the foundation for a melancholy reflection on romance and "Reach" is an understanding hand offered to trapped youth who "have to dodge bullets from the government." The duo keep the song length short, but each second bursts with a persistent passion.
