Track 16 off Taylor Allderdice is one of the standouts of the mixtape.

Out of all the dope beats on Taylor Allderdice, this track stands out from the rest. Dumont produces a up-tempo jazz-influenced beat, ridden perfectly by Wiz.

If you listen to Wiz’s entire discography, you’ll find that his early work is distinctively different to his current musical direction (peep his Prince of the City mixtapes).

Anyone who has heard his early work knows that he has switched from a rugged, hood style to a more mainstream, radio-catered musical direction, evoking much criticism in the process.

With money and status, he has also changed his fashion sense and subject matter.

Wiz acknowledges that he has changed, but assures his die-hard fans that he will always remain the same old Wiz. As Wiz states at the end of his song, ‘O.N.I.F.C.’, “What inspired me back then, is the same shit that inspires me right now.”

Ryan says: “I wrote “Beautiful Lie” about a real-life scenario that proved to be a mirage. The backdrop was Paris and the beauty of the image was intoxicating. Though I knew that inevitably our disparate worlds would collide and destroy the foundation we’d built, I firmly believed in the magic of the moments that were blissful and passionately fought to preserve them. This song and video are an ode to the best of those times and, ironically, depict my current truth.”
