Chris Faust - Inception
Artist: Chris Faust
Producer: Oddisee
Album: VILLAIN
Label: Yatta Mayjour Records
If you think about it, every rap record is a kind of Inception, in which ear-pleasing beats and smooth flows provide the distraction a rhymesayer needs in order to implant his or her ideas directly in the depths of the listener’s psyche. On Chris Faust‘s latest “FreeLP” leak, the Brooklyn up-and-comer takes that analogy and runs with it, telling a story of romance and danger set within a dream (within a dream, within a dream…) Diamond District rapper/producer Oddisee sets the mood for an oneiric odyssey on the production tip, layering lush, hazy samples over a boom-bap percussion rhythm as the headliner describes his efforts to reach a certain woman’s heart through her unconscious. Accomplice to the headliner’s daring scheme, soul singer Mike Maven ties the record together with a gentle guest chorus. Though the narrative takes about as many twists and turns as the film which inspired it, the end product is sure to leave audiences raving. For more, check out Chris Faust’s latest album, VILLAIN, when it hits the DJBooth on April 2, for free download. In the meantime, the artist’s 2011 self-titled set is still available for streaming and download in the Booth.

One of the best songs I have heard from Faust in several years of featuring his work on our site. Maven's hook ties the verses together so well. More of this, please.

Oddisee does work behind the boards on this one. Real dope flow from Chris too.

I have to agree with the above statements. Chris Faust has a nice slick flow and the beat is hypnotic. Great track and a nice chorus too.
