Inner Most Limits

Inner Most Limits is the sister release to IMPERFECTIONISTISM, and a key Tape Lab document for one very important reason: the introduction of Reverend Longshanx. Thanks.

Originally recorded over the course of one day, the album was then edited, tweaked, reluxed, remixed, remastered, and eventually re-released with the kind of obsessive DIY care that makes Tape Lab releases feel less like fixed objects and more like living artifacts. For the updated version, Tape Lab went back through the original tape, remastering it with new synth in-kind from the original release and layering in fresh tape samples to deepen the texture without losing the source energy.

There is a real melancholy running through the melodies, but Inner Most Limits is still super dope hip hop: raw, bass-heavy, strange, and emotionally tuned in. The record carries a reflective mood, but never drifts into softness. It hits.

A major part of that force comes from Schuyler SP!N, who is an absolute beast on bass throughout the album. His playing gives the release its low-end authority, grounding the hazy melodies, tape grit, and Reverend Longshanx mythology in something physical and undeniable.

As a companion to IMPERFECTIONISTISM, Inner Most Limits expands the world around it: more haunted, more bass-driven, more revised by hand, and fully committed to Tape Lab’s belief that a release can be imperfect, remade, and somehow better because of it.
