Prequel Just Laid a Rework on Sampa The Great's "Beatrice"

A track from one of the year's best Australian hip-hop releases gets wonky.

Sampa The Great surprised many with one of the most solid full-length hop-hop releases of the year – Australian or otherwise – with The Great Mixtape last month. Now one of the tape's many standouts now has a cloudy rework from Melbourne producer-DJ Prequel.

Stripping the original production back to a percussive core, Prequel frees space for the Sydney-based MC's vocals in a dreamy wash. It's a mellow and intoxicating mood, never exploding into house territory while enticing with a distant groove.
