The groovy and silly red record, My Cheese Budget Is Growing, which is the debut for Quintessential, is excellent for many lyrical (and frankly theatrical) achievements as well as for the smooth beats provided by Eddou XL. “Playing Friends,” especially in context, goes unbelievably hard—and I can’t help but fixate on the openness of the final line of the chorus and song: “I made a fence/but I’m a break it if it’s making sense.”
