- The New York producer's 55 5's marks the label's first tape release in 18 years.
Sporting Life will release 55 5's on R&S Records on September 18th.
Sporting Life is the solo project of Eric Adiele, known for his work as one-third of Ratking, the XL Recordings affiliated rap group. 55 5's utilizes hip-hop style sampling but the first single, "Badd," also owes an obvious debt to jungle and footwork. Though it comes in at an album-length ten tracks, Adiele considers 55 5's a beat tape and says his sound is influenced by Arca and DJ Rashad. 55 5's marks the legendary Belgian label's first tape release in nearly two decades. The release was mastered by Daddy Kev of LA beat scene staple Low End Theory.
Listen to "Badd" below.
