Anti Lilly

7 tracks across 3 playlists

Houston-via-DC indie rapper whose voice is one of the more lived-in instruments in modern boom-bap — weary, literate, slightly weather-beaten in the best way. The frequent Phoniks collaborations ('Stories From the Brass Section,' 'Sweet Dreams') are the entry points; the solo catalog is some of the best small-press jazz-rap of the past decade. The kind of MC whose fans treat the records as personal property.
