Excellent as always, Robbie. Thanks for doing this.
I've not heard the album yet - will wait for the vinyl version, tedious old fart that I am - but I wonder if the presence of a track about graf is in some way intended to be a callback to the Wild Style samples on Illmatic? There is a connection there, though it is a bit of a stretch, I realise. (FWIW, my go-to for a tune about this would be Talib and Rakim's Subway Surfing, though there's probably a bunch of other things I should mention but have forgotten about.)
Keep up the great work.
Cheers,
AB
