BABE RAINBOW

Babe Rainbow’s ‘Endless Path’ arrives propelled by the momentum of his 2010 debut, the ‘Shaved EP’ on Warp. It’s dark atmospherics and minimalist bass excursions certainly inform this new material, but it’s also strongly coloured by the myriad mixtapes and “chopped & screwed” projects that Babe Rainbow has unveiled in the past year. ‘Greed’ features a scene-stealing appearance from the charismatic Yung Clova of Alabama’s rising stars G-Side, who have been called the successors to Outkast’s throne atop dirty south hip-hop. ‘Set Loose’ is a propulsive, percussion-laced odyssey that began life as a beat intended for rapper and internet phenomenon Lil B. Babe Rainbow (aka Cameron Reed) has found fans in Salem, Odd Future, Gonjasufi and others, while remixing the likes of MF Doom, The Weekend, Midnight Juggernauts and many more. Limited to only 200 copies for the UK and Eire.
