As EDM and trap continue to infiltrate popular hip-hop, Falside offers a nice alternative. On his latest beat tape, “Platypus,” the self-proclaimed “beatsmith” crafts jazzy, chilled out grooves that rarely reach the two-minute mark. It’s the perfect soundtrack to your next smoke session – or to keep you calm when you’re stuck in traffic on the way to that big job interview.
