LIST PICK
BY STORM AND I DANCE
"With respect for Injury Reserve meaning 3/3", rapper RiTchie and producer Parker Corey are now releasing as By Storm. Following the tragic loss of Stepa J. Groggs in 2020, the pair have announced their debut album as a duo alongside its expectedly ambitious introduction 'And I Dance'. Set to appear alongside 8 other masterpieces-in-the-making, 'And I Dance' is the penultimate track on the 9 track collection My Ghosts Go Ghost. Sonically shapeshifting across 4 and a half minutes, their elevated take on lo-fi hip-hop feels cutting edge and timeless as RiTchie explains: “This past decade we built our identity and every record has been us figuring out more about the kind of band we want to be...That doesn’t change." My Ghosts Go Ghost will arrive on the 30th of January via deadAir and (whilst it's only January), it's sure to be a contender for albums of the year. -Holly Mullineaux
