If you want to understand how the hip-hop/R&B production duo Christian Rich operates, listen to the first two tracks of its debut album, FW14. The intro, "Yellow Moon," is 40 seconds of the most hip elevator music you've ever heard, mixing brief flashes of heart-palpitating drums with a jazz-inspired undercurrent. The following track, "High," is a club-ready EDM banger featuring one of hip-hop's most promising emcees, Vince Staples, and the Pharrell Williams protégé BIA spitting for dear life. The transition from one into the other is borderline jarring — and that's just the way Christian Rich want it. - NPR
