On FAST TRAX 3, Florida-born, New York-based rapper and producer, 454, dives deeper into the hyper-speed, chopped and screwed world he built on his 2021 debut album 4REAL. 454 effortlessly creates music for the TikTok generation while maintaining an honesty and realness that makes it transcend the realm of post-SoundCloud rap clout. Not a moment is wasted: Instantly pulling the listener in and racing down the rainbow road of “KEEP A SMILE,” the album progresses like levels of a video game, with a soaring bird’s-eye view of retrospective and downtempo evening scenes painted with fat synths and straight hi-hats quickly giving way to braggy celebration. Chug a couple Pixy Stix or put on FAST TRAX 3; you’re guaranteed to feel the same effects. — Cydney Berlinger
On Jazz Codes, poet, musician, activist and Afrofuturist Moor Mother flourishes in the garden of her own creation. “Who’s coming? Who’s going, where are we going? Life got us confused” she coos in the album’s film — this past/present/future yearning flows throughout the album, continuing on with her themes of Black quantam futurism with a wide cast of collaborators. Jazz Codes is lush, moving, tangible yet elusive, like sand through hands. Trading in more traditional instrumentation in the stylings of great spiritual jazz artists before her, moments of this feel radically different than her noise beginnings on 2016’s Fetish Bones, but Moor Mother’s commanding vocals remain consistent throughout all time, for all time, delivered with the concreteness of the collective consciousness. — CB
