Beneficence is one of a stable of very underrated emcees that have released some really great projects in the past five years. On this, his follow up to 2012's wonderful Concrete Soul, he drops nineteen knowledge-laden east coast cuts that are firmly rooted in mid-90's boom-bap while also having a nice modern, urban tinge to it. Often, the sampled instrument on the beats is the electric guitar or a trumpet, giving a soulful vibe to the music, which when coupled with Beneficence's dexterous flow and introspective lyrics makes a wonderful tandem. The quality is steadfast and though there isn't necessarily a standout track on the record, there is most certainly not a bad one. The features on this thing are also at a high quality, with the best coming from Masta Ace on the track "When The Sun Comes". In a nutshell, Basement Chemistry is a really great east coast hip-hop record, with a filler-less nineteen tracks.
