Astonishing! is the latest dimensional warp from hip-hop\u2019s premiere astral traveler. His union with MMG producer L\u2019Orange finds him exploring uncharted terrain: choppy volcanic rock planets, ice glacier moons, new surgical procedures, and fresh rappers to toss into the ether. The scalpel remains eternally sharp.<\/p>\n<p>Even a flying DeLorean seems too conventional for the Bronx legend. He\u2019d more logically orbit throughout the galaxy in a gleaming chrome spaceship, teaching the stars and aliens new forms of originality. He is too weird to live, too rare to die, too uniquely ultra-magnetic to be accurately mimicked.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019Orange\u2019s production appropriately coaxes the most appealingly baffling gonzo vision from Keith since his days collaborating with Dan \u201cThe Automator\u201d Nakamura. This isn\u2019t the noir-rap of L\u2019Orange\u2019s previous work, but something atmospheric, ethereal, and absurd.<\/p>\n<p>Yet there\u2019s a sense of tradition within the playfulness. The beats glow with radioactive grit. Hard enough to knock from your car speakers, cinematic and plutonium-propelled enough to transport you to strange terra firma. Buck Rodgers movie serials meet boom-bap. And along for the odyssey are a cast of the best underground MC\u2019s of the last decade: Blu, Open Mike Eagle, Mr. Lif, J-Live, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the new world, even more sinister and suspenseful than the last one. We live inastonishing times: abstract, absurd, and indelibly Kool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/210520356&amp;color=000000&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming July 24th from Mello Music Group, Time?
