Spotlighting Our Favorite Producers On Paris Texas’ ‘MID AIR’
Following their BOY ANONYMOUS and Red Hand Akimbo projects, which were released back in 2021 to critical and fan acclaim, Paris Texas have finally unveiled their debut album MID AIR in full, cementing themselves as one of left field rap’s most exciting acts. MID AIR makes for a massive moment for the LA-based duo, who are still buzzing off their Coachella debut, as well as the handful of singles that led to the album’s release. Here are some of our favorite producers who contributed to the gritty and boundary-pushing sound of the 16-track project.
