Outside - The Rough And The Smooth (2025 Remaster) (2025) [Hi-Res]

The Rough And The Smooth is the critically acclaimed second album by Outside, written, produced, and engineered by 22-year-old Matt Cooper. A fearless journey through dub, jungle, hip-hop, Latin rhythms, and vibrant modal jazz, the album featured Cooper on keys and drums alongside scene luminaries like Jhelisa, Imaani, Greg Osby, Cleveland Watkiss, Byron Wallen, Tony Remy, and Gary Crosby.

Praised by GQ, MOJO, The Face, and Mixmag, the record includes standouts like the intricate funk of “Journeyman” Pt. 1 & 2, the Nu Yorican flair of “The 29/8 Steps”, and the emotive, violin-led jungle of “To Forgive But Not Forget”. A genre-defying masterpiece that helped shape a generation of listeners and creators.
