Shape of Broad Minds were a CMJ highlight for me and I was glad as fuck that it was at the URB + LEX Records party that these cats were taking the stage.
In part 1 they do two versions of the same song back to back; the first is a light and jazzy, conversational, singsong rhyme, the second a punishing remix with a menacing bounce and a demented, spiraling rhythm. Then they launch into gorgeous, haunted, spacey, smoking-a-j-on-the-rooftop instrumento jams, and they aren't afraid to throw up a work-in-progress, which is how it should be. In Part 2, (upcoming) you’ll hear their gutbucket valentine to Jazz, “They Lied”, and more verse-based hip-hop. 'Good shit outta Atlanta.
