"... Remarkable; a sprint out of the block and a victory lap all at once."

More Mura Masa More Mura Masa

Rarely do we get the joy of innocence and the confidence of experience delivered like this.

Mura Masa is remarkable; a sprint out of the block and a victory lap all at once. Love$ick shows the searing pleasure to be taken from well-directed A$AP Rocky and well-used chipmunkery. 1 Night is stunning, and proof that not all earworms need to be Carly Rae Jepsen pop classics. What If I Go? is a rhythmic cross-examination. Alex Crossan, the Mura mastermind, turned 21 this year. With this, he's created a record that sounds so influential it will guide the scene he seems set to dominate for a decade or two.
