EDAN
Beauty And The Beat (2022 reissue)
lewis recordings
While Edan’s critically acclaimed debut, ‘Primitive Plus’, was a celebration of hip-hop’s golden age and a true throwback, his sophomore album, ‘Beauty And The Beat’, is a vast musical collage that contains many different influences; hip-hop, rock, pop, dusty breaks, hazy loops, luxurious off-kilter samples and curveball tempo changes that are all crafted into one cohesive piece of art.
In 2015, FACT placed it at number 30 on the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list. In 2013 NME placed it at number 392 on the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. // “A Psychedelic gem. It’s like ‘The Grey Album’ in technicolour” – Vice // “This is a record that exults in the joy of musical creation. It should prove impossible not to love” - The Times // “Perhaps one of the greatest US hip-hop album you’ll hear” – DJ // NME 8/10 // Pitchfork 8.8/10 // MOJO **** // Uncut **** // Stylus A- // HipHopDX 4.5/5 // Entertainment Weekly A-
