Grapes is a brilliantly eclectic collection of beats, soundscapes, home recordings & field recordings composed & produced by Gay across 2013 & 2014 in Chicago. Of all Gay's back catalogue nuggets, Grapes may be the best overall showcase for his ability to crank out alluring & artful bangers (a la Shabazz Palaces, or Organized Noise outtakes that were too avant-garde to make Outkast albums in the mid-90s). But it's not strictly a low-end exercise.. Among his lyrical endeavors, Grapes is most unique in its vivid sensory depictions of Gay's home zone. Folded inside the context of iPhone voice memos, short snippets from everyday music-making and everyday life with family & friends, are gorgeous cinematic sonic portraits of Bronzeville (the historic Black cultural & intellectual hub of Chicago's Southside). With this in mind it's no surprise to learn that he was highly inspired by the narrative paintings of Kerry James Marshall (the album's last track is a direct homage to his "7am Sunday Morning" canvas). And that Gay's intention was to make music that "sounds like the murals of Bronzeville coming to life."
