Lushlife Plateau Vision CD

Though Lushlife describes himself as a "Bedroom Composer," The Emcee/producer has been quietly crafting a catalog of sweeping full-lengths that do nothing to betray the dimensions of his small South Philly workspace. Plateau Vision finds Lush at his most self-possessed, effectively ignoring the outside world of Tumblr-paced album cycles and blog buzz, to create that rare, contemplative hip-hop LP; one that somehow balances it's hazed-out cassette experimentations with the pop-friendly underpinnings of big-room hip-hop.
