“The Brownsville artist Taphari is well aware he isn't like everyone else. That's sort of just what the world requires of you when you're in a body that exists at the margins of society—people don't let you forget the ways in which you don't fit in—Channelling his history in underground electronics, as well as a childhood love for free-as-fuck musicians like Mary J. Blige and Lil Kim—he's made this take on rap that feels borderless and alien, built around mutating beats and a sort of syllable hopscotch. Taphari is Brooklyn’s Best Rap Alien” - Colin Joyce from VICE
