British rapper Piers James has had a busy, socially-distanced summer.

After lending instrumentals for a few commercials by the luxury multi-brand retailer Flannels — their sounds mostly tropical, with hints of R&B flair — James has returned to the studio once again with the release of his third EP, following 2017’s Vibes & Tribulations II.

Similar in fashion to his previous projects — with the EP split into two parts — A Dying Breed, Pt. 1, shifts through eulogy-esque beats and vocals; to the woes of girls without passions yet hundreds of social media captions; and breezy, carefree chords that could easily complement any evening this season. 

Here the rapper personally takes us through each of the six tracks’ beginnings and backgrounds.
