randomly stumbled on this, Maxo was part of a residency through the Carhartt WIP program
Last June, Belgium-based label Trading Places Records held a week-long residency with Belgian producer ShunGu and LA based rapper Maxo at a revered 1970s Brutialist house on the outskirts of Ghent. The project, supported by Carhartt WIP, saw the duo spend three days together just after local lockdown restrictions were lifted. While the music they made has not yet dropped, it will potentially serve as a future Trading Place release. The label’s founder Brian Boa was also present, recording the process togetehr with Walid Labr through both a short film and photo diary, which accompanies this feature. To gain a deeper insight into the thinking behind this residency, we sat down with Boa to reflect on collaboration, how architecture informs sound, and carving out spaces in which to create and simply be.

Siifu always dropping on bandcamp first. I think original album was the rare one to land on streaming relatively quickly (I wanna say later in the day) but usually new releases would be bandcamp exclusive for a few weeks
just tapping in, tbch, going w the metaphor... first listen this Gumbo feels a bit undercooked. most of the tracks don't blow me away first listen
but also I'm kinda stressed rn and prolly need repeat listens just like w the original album
Valee track is immaculate daaamn
this and the Kenny Beats track are for sure the highlights tho, Zel track and outro also nice.
