Araless Seattle, Washington
Araless moves in waves. When he's not producing for Filthy Fingers United, he's rapping with Black Magic Noize. When he's
not leading a band, he's animating.
When he raps, it's with a gritty conviction, and when he sings, it's a soulful croon.

Wiz put a lot of work into this record, and it shows. It's a virtual embarrassment of hip hop riches, truthfully. Dense with crunchy drums, it's on par with productions by legends like Prince Paul or Dust Brothers, in terms of its complexity and jazzy feel. He has a real knack for layering disparate samples into unique, poly-rhythmic grooves. Wiz's rhyme style is clever, organic and abstract, and it melds perfectly w/ the beats. BLESS!

"The Wizard" has an easy-speaking, back-to-basics delivery and a smoldering voice, covering topics from the fallacy of success, dissing fakers, and comic books. (All three coming together in "Giant Man vs Ant Man") The beats recall Bomb Squad production, combining wide-ranging musical sample textures and dialogue with sirens and harsher sounds.

Finding Wizdumb like a breathe of fresh air you forgot existed. In a world saturated with auto-tune and crappy beats, this album and his others give me new faith in humanity. Thanks Wiz!

Cool Mike: the untold story
by SPECSWIZARD
supported by 4 fans who also own “They Talk About”
"Cool Mike" is a celebration of vintage gear: Each song formed from a single intriguing, sample loop, then pulling in snippets of dialogue, environment sounds, even the clicks and clacks of the sampling machinery. "Sheets" has a beat moving at odds with verses that talk about the daily grind of excellence, while on "NHB," he's on a beach, drinking a Mai Tai, laughing in a flow that feels effortless, at the rest of us and our silly, quantized, auto-tuned computers.
