New York’s ANTHM, a soulful and skillful rhymer to the utmost degree, has dropped his second project this year, The Fire Next Time. As with Handful Of Dust, which earned a spot on our 13 Best Below-The-Radar-Projects of The Year So Far, it is available for purchase at a price of your choosing; a particularly generous move given the considerable amount of time and energy that must have been devoted to writing such intricate, passionate, and varied songs about himself and the world around him. Even more impressive: this tape is even better than the one that landed on the “Best Of” list above. Check out The Fire Next Time below.
