Eric Lau is a beatmaker whose instrumental albums set him apart as not just another Dilla biter, but an Ummah disciple who forged his instinctive travels through the paths of rhythm. Lau and Guilty Simpson had already collaborated for Fat City on 2007’s ‘For The D’, and the demand to continue the output came not only from fans but from the artists themselves. ‘The Mission EP’ marks a progression in Lau’s production and takes Simpson’s lyrics in a impressive and seldom visited direction. Also featuring are Fatima, Olivier Daysoul, and Damu The Fudgemunk. ‘The Mission’ is an EP of unparalleled relevance to the modern hip hopper; respectful of the past, conscious of the future.
