Swedish producer Max I Million is back on his hip-hop steez with Uncut Gems, an instrumental album that blends left-field creativity with boom-bap vibes. It’s equal parts futuristic and nostalgic, a distinctive combination of sounds that never gets too comfortable, nor too experimental. Pulling that off is no easy feat, and neither is making it sound this damn good. But that’s just what Max does with this project. The 12 track LP is available now on vinyl in a limited blue and white splatter configuration, with artwork designed by the inimitable Joe Buck (De La Soul Is Dead).
