Really dope NYC collaboration between ace producer/rapper ELUCID and heavyweight MC billy woods. Really awesome spacey woozy production with gruff heady verses. RIYL: El-P, JPEGMAFIA (featured on track 2), Earl Sweatshirt, Open Mike Eagle, Pink Siifu FCC: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

1. (FCC) Floaty intro with video samples, dial tones, flanger effects
*2. Lazy mid tempo stream of consciousness vibe. Hypnagogic beat.
3. (FCC) Minimal space beat with looped flute and percussion samples
4. (FCC) Kaleidoscopic electro acoustic beat
5. (FCC) Jazzy, old school
*6. Aggressive with blown-out vocals on the chorus and hammering drums
7. (FCC) Dubby, with harmonium elements
*8. (FCC) Deep driving drumbeat with woozy vocal snippets, steady poetic flow
9. (FCC) Chaotic free jazz beat with great guest verses
*10. (FCC) Chill sparse hypnagogic beat with fluttery flute
11. (FCC) Psychedelic, loose. Guest features really shine
12. (FCC) Swollen bass-heavy beat with spacey kosmiche keyboard
13. (FCC) Forceful rap with vocal chorus. Spacey and psychedelic
14. (FCC) Woozy, psychedelic. Sitar based beat with synthesizer
15. (FCC) Clanging guttural beat with forceful spitting and long instrumental interludes
