For a few years now, the New York-based artist Gabe ‘Nandez has been making intense, thoughful underground rap music. ‘Nandez is a prolific force with an fascinating sense of perspective, as he grew up around the world as the son of a UN Peacekeeper. Just this year, ‘Nandez teamed up with Louis Jack to form a duo called LJGN and to release a self-titled album. Today, ‘Nandez releases his highest-profile project to date, a full-length team up with the great producer Preservation. It’s an ideal pairing, and both rapper and producer step the fuck up on the new LP Sortilège. It’s one of the best full-lengths that I’ve heard this summer, in any genre.
