DJ Rashad & THE PRESENT: "Too High"

I don't think I wrote about anyone in 2012 more than DJ Rashad, except for maybe Death Grips. The latter got measurably greater attention last year, as much for their label baiting as their music, which is admittedly incredible... but on the other hand, Rashad is clearly the Kanye West of this footwork thing, every production a step forward while continuing to make it easy. Here he mixes it up a bit by collaborating with THE PRESENT, and those female dream pop vocals definitely add another dimension to all those MC verses Rashad is normally known to fuck with.
