While many of Roga Raph‘s recent visuals, including “The Preface,” “Won’t Stop” and more recently, the Pharcyde-inspired “Stand Up” explored different aesthetic beats, they’re all tied to and grounded by one common denominator: Experimentation.

Although the sounds of his newest album, Nostalgiks is steeped in 90s-inspired Hip-Hop instrumentals, Roga is quick to counter such notions. “I anticipate that people will try to categorize me for having 90s influenced music, but the fact of the matter is I love all types of styles,” the New York-reared rapper-producer reveals in a press release. “I like to consider myself an ‘experimentalist,’ always trying to enhance the feel whether it be through beats or flow.”

Much like a chef de cuisine, Roga seasons his piece de resistance with unconventionality, such as on the uptempo, jazzy track “Swimming,” while making sure not to stray too far from familiarity.
