Expert - Excursions - Vinyl

Straight out of Dublin comes the accomplished beat-maestro The Expert. Inspired by golden-era giants like The Rza, Pete Rock, and Large Professor - as well as new school titans Oddisee, Exile, and Eric Lau - The Expert got his start in the Irish Choice Prize-nominated duo Messiah J & The Expert. In 2015, The Expert broke out on his own with the renowned album Dynamic Drift and collaborations with the likes of Tanya Morgan, Zilla Rocca and Has-Lo. Now The Expert arrives at Cold Busted with Excursions, a 20-track exploration of smooth instrumental hip-hop for the mind and soul. The album is a laid-back journey filled with intricate nuances and sublime rhythm constructions. There are moments of pensive beauty (quot;Ifquot;) and soulful jazziness (quot;Vacuumquot;) as well as evocative Latin-tinged moments (quot;Firminoquot;) and splashes of spacey moodiness (quot;Believe In Thisquot;). All in all, Excursions is a melodic trip from beginning to end, suitable for unexpected destinations and extended travels.
