Although not the only artist to fuse electronic with hip-hop, Monte Booker distinguishes himself from the rest in “KOMPANY.” Laden with the buttery vocals of Phoelix and lyrical sagacity of Smino, Monte Booker delivers yet another beat that bounces, bubbles, and bangs. And what better way to inaugurate the sweltering months of summer than with a genre-bending track begging for us to croon along? “KOMPANY” weaves in and out between the slick rapping prowess of Smino and honeyed harmonies of Phoelix. And Monte Booker completes the collaboration with a backdrop of mellow drums and arpeggiated plucks. Grab some company, and find yourself subconsciously nodding along to the soulful brilliance that is “KOMPANY.”
