The Future Will Kill You is Chicago producer Walkingshoe’s 2nd release via Cosmonostro . In addition to producing, Walkingshoe is a guitarist and singer/songwriter who first got interested in hip hop at the age of 19. I think this contributes to his lush, textured and refreshing sound. TFWKY is eight tracks deep and features five MCs; yU, Has-Lo, Defcee, Greg Grease and Frank Leone. All the features sound really good to me, Walkingshoe’s music is full yet still provides plenty of space for the vocalists to shine. Get to know the producer better via an interview with Mishka NYC. I particularly love the instrumental “The Last One.”
Cosmonostro describes “TFWKY is a single, cohesive flowing piece that is best listened to straight through as an album. The productions are once again carefully constructed with a great attention to detail, and can be described as a subtle joining of the organic and the electronic. TFWKY is extremely dense and yet jam packed with tiny details that will leave you listening over and over. Enjoy.”
