One of Hip-Hop (or music in general)’s qualities was it’s distinct sound and styles representation of it’s location, as the internet era merges those features through trends, it’s always appreciated when someone stays true, and that’s the case with LA’s own Polyester The Saint. One of the west coast’s most slept on producer of recent and thus his artistry can be also be considered overlooked, he’s one of the few who blends the classic essences of the west with a modern spin. A credit to his musicianship, with each project he’s been able to transport the listener beyond the gangsta-rap narrative thats commercially dominated over the years.
For me, he’s evolved the classic G-Funk sound and with When She’s Ready (released mid-July), continues his theme of cool, palm trees and summer breeze, for the OG’s. A more mature direction, true to self, it’s a luxuriously laid back, musically driven sixteen track project full of solid raps and velvet harmonies, infused with high end sonics that could only be described as real playalistic.
If you’re new to Polyester The Saint, there’s a consistent catalogue to catch up on and vibe out to that will no doubt leave you feeling hella good.
