Future Brown
6/10
Signing to Warp back in September, Future Brown is a super-group comprising Nguzunguzu duo Daniel Pineda and Asma Maroof, Hyperdub's Fatima Al-Qadiri and Lit City Trax founder, J-Cush.
All 11 of the quartet's varied productions feature at least one guest vocalist. Jamaican dancehall artist Timberlee and Sicko Mobb respectively bring Caribbean heat to two of the stronger tracks, which is contrasted by stark grime numbers led by Roll Deep's Rico Dan and Ruff Sqwad's Prince Rapid.
Elsewhere, more r'n'b-orientated productions come courtesy of BBC Sound of 2014 nominee Kelela and Chicago rapper Tink.
As culturally diverse as it all is, it's the tonal depth of the assembly that creates an engaging synergy.
