A rapper whose sound grew more personal and experimental across a decade of work.
If you want to hear where he landed, try Wings from Swimming. For something earlier, Back In The Day has that Pittsburgh bounce.
He started with mixtapes like K.I.D.S. and a number one debut album, Blue Slide Park, but his later music turned inward. Songs like Self Care and Wings from Swimming show that shift toward a more reflective space. The posthumous Circles, finished with Jon Brion, rounded out a catalog that feels honest and lived-in.
He put out early mixtapes as a teenager, then Blue Slide Park hit number one in 2011. Watching Movies with the Sound Off in 2013 marked a turn toward experimental, personal work, which continued through The Divine Feminine and Swimming.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
