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 includes 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. Edan's vast lyrical imagination and technical wizardry (he also self-produced every track) alone make 'Beauty And the Beat' a standout. The album's lead; single 'Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme', a track which true Hip-Hop enthusiasts and historians will not only appreciate, but ultimately debate is a perfect sample of what 'Beauty And the Beat' has to offer.
