Mike Digi – Kindred Binge (WEB) (2021) (320 kbps)

Charlotte, North Carolina is full of amazing Hip-Hop talent right about now. This year already I’ve covered the music of Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon and Jaypluss, both of whom are extraordinarily talented MC’s with the back catalogue to prove it. In comes Mike Digi, a producer who for years now has been elevating his craft to stand alongside other Charlotte greats. On his new album, Mike steps up his game another level.

Things kick off with ‘Continuation’, an apt title for a song that kicks off a new era in the producer’s music while sticking stoically to the things that make his beats so enthralling to begin with. It’s a short, moody set piece that segues successfully into the darker ‘Slavic City’, a vocal sample screaming into the void before being abruptly cut. Mike’s use of samples on these songs is nothing short of spellbinding, the spliced vocal excerpts conveying an incredible amount of emotional weight despite their brief utilisation.
