Made up of billy woods and Privilege, Super Chron Flight Brothers were one of the most unheralded hip-hop crews of the late ’00s and early ’10s. Described as a “day in front of the television,” Cape Verde finds the pair of unorthodox emcees addressing complex issues in unorthodox ways. The best album of their relatively short existence, Cape Verde requires you to use your brain, but it’s well worth the effort.
