    I think it's time to give these guys some due flowers...

    my ears were highkey NOT ready when I stumbled upon So It Goes in 2014, really took me years to realize just how insanely unique and ahead of their time they were. Wiki has been building up such a great catalog (about to drop one of his best yet produced by Navy Blue this friday?) but I'm more and more realizing his work has always been a bit in the shadow of the strong impression this made.

    For one Wiki is RAW on these tapes, "Wikispeaks" from the Wiki93 EP was my introduction to them and it's still one of my fav performances of his

    The other Big thing which REALLY sets Ratking apart is Sporting Life... Most clearly on So It Goes he really shines and crafted a sound which could never again be imitated, coupling Wiki at his most catchy with a palette of footwork, trap, sound effects, jazz...

    when the sax comes in on this man, insanity
