Nueen, who made a strong impression on his *Hyperdub* release with Iceboy Violet, presents a new album via *3XL*, a label run by Special Guest DJ. He blends his signature humid ambient sound with elements of rap, dub, and R&B. Featuring UK drill-inspired basslines, gaseous effects, and a unique, floating soundscape. Loraine James contributes whispers, while Space Afrika and Dawuna bring a smoky soul vibe to the mix. With Xzavier Stone adding a lustrous touch reminiscent of ’00s R&B, this album features a stellar lineup of guests who blend seamlessly into the work’s world. It expands the boundaries of ambient “experimental hip-hop” on a scale beyond “cloud rap.” (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
