A slice of international oddball rap from la Baleine 3000, a group composed of Belgian producer Lawrence Le Doux, French DJ Afrojaws, and Japanese MC Illreme. The EP features seven cuts of soft, dreamy beats, vinyl fuzz, and delicate verses that speak to hip-hop’s universal appeal and ability to transcend boundaries. As Illreme puts it on The Nap , “the story is always over on the way. When does this story end?” Sleeve created on an analog typewriter in the VLEK workshop by Dimitri Runkkari.
