***SHOPWORN COPIES. It's Free, But It's Not Cheap, the solo debut from Los Angeles producer Antimc, is a nine-song collection of sprawling post-rock, dancefloor filling hip-hop, and inspired electronics. The album features three emcees (Busdriver, Cadence Weapon, and Saafir) and three vocalists (Anthony Anzelone of the Mean Reds, Andrew Broder of Fog, and Mark Mitchell of Clue to Kalo) showing a vast range of production styles. Antimc is the rare producer that is just as accomplished at writing melodies, playing his own live instrumentation, and structuring a song, as he is at programming a drum machine and editing on a computer. This well-roundedness shows as he is able to span hip-hop to hardcore to electro to post-rock and capture standout performances from each collaborator, while always focusing on creating a expertly crafted song.
