10 Most Underrated Hip Hop Albums Of The 2010s
4. Tabby - Peach Fuzz
When Peach Fuzz came out Tabby was still relatively unknown, but thanks to an incredible work ethic and savvy social media strategy his following is growing gradually, and rightfully so, the boy deserves recognition and if there's any justice he'll become huge.
Tabby - like Lou the Human - takes a very theatrical, character-driven approach to his work, with his lyrics taking on a hysterical, animated and almost unhinged quality which is matched by his delivery, whilst also still having control and dominance over his words. Now, Tabby's delivery and flow are both excellent, however, if you aren't a fan of Danny Brown then there's a chance you may not be a fan of Tabby - this is a comparison Tabby even takes note of.
As far as production is concerned, Tabby's beats are flawless. His production style picks up elements from every possible sub-genre of hip hop you could imagine. Tabby swerves from old school breaks to the bass-heavy kicks we've come to associate with contemporary trap. The beats also have a habit of warping and transforming, with g-funk style synths descending into something you'd hear from a horror soundtrack.
And finally, after the interlude - which includes a goddamn guitar solo, by the by - something special happens. The first half of Peach Fuzz graduates from heavy-hitting hip hop to RnB, electro, neo-soul god knows what else.
