H31R (pronounced heir / air) are an experimental electronic hiphop duo composed of New Jersey producer / composer JWordsand Brooklyn rapper / vocalist maassai.
Blending together their worlds, new album ‘HeadSpace’, via BigDada, creates an enigmatic but complementary sonicexperience that pushes the fickle boundaries of genre.
The LP manoeuvres through its 14 tracks with blazing speed.‘Glitch In Time’ sets the tone for the album with gritty bass,groovy drums and quirky melodies resonating throughout. Itcontains moments of introspection and self-reflection on songslike ‘Static’ and ‘Reflection’ while the edifying diptych of‘Rotation’ - an oscillating track capturing the essence of darkand light - and ‘All Over The Place’, which transcends dualityand expands to a multidimensional self, signify markers ofgrowth.
Elsewhere is ‘Backwards’ which, despite its name, is apropulsive track that seeks to move forward from things holdingsomeone back, and ‘Train of Thought’, that examines themechanisms of thinking, starting off more concrete beforegradually becoming abstract by the song’s end.
‘HeadSpace’ also features contributions from the likes of risingChicago-based rapper and producer semiratruth on theaffirming ‘Glass Ceiling’, and a playful verse from Detroit-basedGRAMMY-nominated producer and rapper Quelle Chris on‘Down Down BB’.
Past live dates include tour support for keiyaA at Songbyrd(Washington, DC), Baby’s All Right (Brooklyn, NY), TheUnderground (Detroit), Beachland Tavern (Cleveland, OH), andPhilaMOCA (Philadelphia, PA).
