Even in a period crowded with more marquee hip-hop releases than any in recent memory, “Galaxy” stands out for its spared-no-artistic-expense production. The track is a kaleidoscope of textures and techniques, making room for lushly layered harmonies, trap-like drums, hazy synths, haunted house pianos, twisted vocal swells, and futuristic spacey baubles, all while remaining surprisingly sonically coherent.
