Don’t let the title of the one idiot you; the beats in ‘Lifeless Beat’ from Fats Prezzi and Miles Ledanois’ collaborative LP, Chilly, are alive and kicking—one thing you’ll immediately realise when you tear your self away from the oscillations of tonal alchemy swirling round them, absorbing the chew within the collaborators’ rhythmically hypnotic bars.
Hailing from the Bay Space, Prezzi and Ledanois have established a sound distinctive to the area but unconstrained by its musical stereotypes. Their melodic motifs really feel inherently timeless, interesting to listeners of any technology. The partnership started within the musical melting pot of New Orleans at Loyola College, the place producer Miles Ledanois, solely three months into beat-making, confirmed his preliminary works to Fats Prezzi. Recognising quick potential, Prezzi inspired Ledanois, sparking a inventive synergy that’s since produced lots of of tracks.
‘Lifeless Beat’ carries no pretence of gritty bravado or exaggerated grandiosity; as a substitute, uncooked authenticity floods the association. Minor-key piano preludes mix effortlessly with beats that effortlessly power submission because the lyrics mirror the adversity these artists have genuinely endured. Prezzi and Ledanois command authority, mercilessly dismantling the hole narratives of rappers chasing borrowed life for superficial image-building.
If anybody may rival Run the Jewels’ plain chemistry, it’s Fats Prezzi and Miles Ledanois—they hit heavy, reduce deep, and demand full emotional engagement.
‘Lifeless Beat’ is now out there to stream on all main platforms, together with Spotify.
