Spaceman Dela & Hardbody Jones, Nobody Teaches You to Come Down: REVIEW

Spaceman Dela and Hardbody Jones, Nobody Teaches You to Come Down EP (Slepton)

An easygoing collaborative effort between a couple of convivial cosmic travellers. The multi-faceted Hardbody’s productions flutter and glisten with supple R&B guitars and warm percussion, while mystic MC Spaceman jumps into his verses with aplomb, like every beat on the six-track EP provided a Eureka moment in the studio. The pairing is really where this project feels elevated: the duo unlocks moments where they really build off each other, as if they’ve tacitly given each other the go-ahead to keep stacking the deck. An extra bass flourish here, some added density to lyrical delivery there. 8/10 Trial Track: “Be You”
