Boldy James, Futurewave - Mr. Ten08 (2022) [Hi-Res]

Mr​.​Ten08 was recorded exclusively with Futurewave, and the album showcases a similarly tight rapport between James and the producer. As stylists, both artists take a measured approach to making music. Futurewave’s production is built on the idea of giving an MC enough space to let their vocals shine, rather than cluttering a song with needless sounds. On “DISCO FEVER,” the producer drums up a creepy sense of danger by allowing a sole piano chord to linger with intent; elsewhere, synth and keyboard lines seem to hover in the air. These sort of production tricks accentuate James’ trademark steely but unruffled delivery. “I’m from the real Detroit, not the town hall/ Where we ain’t nothing like those boys from the brownstones,” he raps over the lolling percussion and muted sax of “MORTERMIR MILESTONE,” carefully spacing out his words before issuing a threat: “Don’t make me take this pain that’s mine and make it yours.”
