This is the most abstract instrumental hip hop I've ever heard. The tracks on this LP sound like Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II over extremely minimal hip hop beats. I don't know of any other release with similar music.

In the history of Abstract hip-hop / trip-hop, everybody know DJ Cam, DJ Krush, the Ninja Tune label, but REQ isn't as well-know, why... I don't know...I think this guy is the messiah of abstract hip-hop and smoked ambiances. I think it's the only one who really succeeds in showing the spirit of hip-hop culture, the only one who shares with us the spirit of hip-hop, graff, skate, and breakdance ambiances.
In the album, Razzamatazz and subculture are unbelievable...
