Background

Fudge was formed by record producer Prefuse 73 and rapper Michael Christmas. [7] Lady Parts is the duo's debut studio album. [8] The album's recording took place at Nick Hook's studio in Brooklyn, New York, [9] in the summer and autumn of 2015. [10] Michael Christmas wrote the lyrics to the music Prefuse 73 brought on his hard drive. [11] D.R.A.M. provided guest vocals on the song "All Points South". [1] The artwork is designed by Todd James. [12]

Prefuse 73 later released an instrumental version of the album, titled Fudge Beats, in 2019. [13]

According to the review aggregator Metacritic , Lady Parts received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 74 out of 100 from 7 critic scores. [6]

Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork stated, "Even without great chemistry, they make a handful of entertaining songs that thrive on sheer amusement." [17] He added, "Despite its faults and flaws, it mostly scans as two talented musicians just having a good time." [17] Paul Simpson of AllMusic commented that "Everything here is exquisitely detailed and busy, but not necessarily in a hurry to get anywhere." [14] He described Lady Parts as "a fun, slightly chaotic album that captures the creative spirit of golden age rap, updated for the damaged attention span of a generation raised on social media." [14] Gary Suarez of The Quietus stated, "The fractured fairy tales of their full-length debut Lady Parts will assuredly satisfy both those old Prefuse 73 fans and newer listeners who enjoy a sensible amount of weirdness in their mixes."
