Beans - End It All

2011 release, the fourth album from the Brooklyn-based Rap rebel. When it came time to craft the album, Beans needed to get out of his head. His old group, the legendary left-fielders Anti-Pop Consortium, had reunited and he'd been devoting his energy to their long-awaited fifth LP, Fluorescent Black. His last solo record, Thorns, was bittersweet-one of his greatest works to date, but an exercise in raw, exhausting emotion. For a minute, he even considered calling it quits. Thankfully, Beans went a different route. He titled his new record End It All-a make-it-or-break-it promise-and looked outside his window for inspiration. What he saw is now the meat of End It All: lush, darkly tinted sounds from some of the most inspired names in contemporary production-Four Tet, Clark, Tobacco, Son Lux, Interpol's Sam Fog-united by the inimitable flow and reborn swagger of Beans.
