This full-length collaboration between Gensu Dean and Denmark Vessey comes packed with all the vitamins and nutrients you could possibly need without any of the frivolous packaging. The pair’s debut as a duo on Mello Music Group imagines mugshot spreads in Newsweek and blood dripping down starched white aprons, and there are no $6 cappuccinos in sight. Over the past year, Vessey had developed into one of the most buzzed-about rappers in the underground circuit. The Detroit native dropped one of 2015’s most critically acclaimed records with Martin Lucid Dream, a heady, pointed treatise on the state of America’s shared psychosis. On Whole Food, he expands his purview to encompass the whole human body, from the biscuits and gravy weighing down your stomach to bullet wounds in your abdomen. And he does it all with empathy, wit, and supreme technical skill. For his part, Dean continues to be one of hip-hop’s best kept secrets, a masterful sample chopper whose attention to detail makes him one of the best. Gensu and Denmark piece together one of the loosest, most visceral records in recent memory, one that’s filled with punishing bass lines, clever asides, and astute observation.
