Tin Foil Hat EP - RJD2 (2009)
The first thing I've heard from this guy in quite a while. Though it gets off to a bumpy start with "The Sleepaway", the second track "The Highest of Courts" finds RJ doing what he does best: pairing funky drums with atmospheric vocals and instrumentals. "Thine Planetarium" reminds me of his first 12", "June", in a good way. The guest MC, Tage, doesn't really do anything for me on "The Move" but RJ's work is still solid - I mostly just wish he had better taste in rappers.
Overall, this is a good reminder of why I was so excited about RJ back when his debut, Deadringer, dropped in 2002.
Favorite: "When It Wobbles" "Thine Planetarium" "The Highest of Courts"
