“ENDORPHIN" is a shot of urgent boom-bap directed to the brain steam by Florida producer Vintage Tux who get's the dope feature from Detroit stand out Mike Melinoe. While the drum breaks may hit with satisfying force, queasy strings creep right behind like a shadow down the alley. MERC of Vintage Tux plays the part of the high. He doesn't fight the beat, but deals relief and knowledge with equal cool. Mike Melinoe flips the dynamic and catches the beat right at the moment when reckless fun turns to danger, when knowledge brings disillusionment. Amidst his own ad-libbed scream, he turns the calm flow of MERC’s verse into choppy waters. You can’t have one side without the other.
