Raw Fruit Vl. 7 & 8 CASSETTE

Ras G, born Gregory Shorter Jr., ran his SP-404 like a loose wire sparking static and bass, helping define Los Angeles's experimental hip-hop scene alongside Flying Lotus and Thundercat and co-founding Poo-Bah Records along the way. His Raw Fruit series stayed an open-ended outlet for rough beat-tape recordings, sitting next to the more finished Back on the Planet he made for Brainfeeder. Ras G died in 2019 at 40, and more Raw Fruit volumes have kept surfacing from his archive since.
