But this is also an era when no lost art stays lost for long.

Thus we have “Jada & Styles,” by Maryland’s Nature Boi and Brain Rapp, a leak from their upcoming EP titled SPRNTRL (like “supernatural”).

Over Nature Boi’s late-night, horn-buttressed beat, they get playfully old-school: “Reportin’ live from the cul-de-sac/Nature Boi/Brain Rapp/Fly so high in the sky, gave a plane dap.”

From the archives: Read Bandwidth’s profile of Brain Rapp and his entomologist father.
