rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

this is the rolling rap thread for 2023. sorry i'm sorry i'm trying to remove the title

anyway

babyfxce e - "september 17th"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5exj3u4qI7I

smetaxfree - "freechick"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JpzwsWQ3IU

wizz havin - "mode"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAt2wqNa3sY

redveil - "2daside"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkNWI1Lp7qE

veeze - "4 kobe"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo-6LwARuDo

in the spirit of the thread

bandmanrill - "last time i checked"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt1QDflpqZs

murda b - "trendy girl"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is5iPeHI8Ig

that's a relatively low bpm for the bandman

very good first post

appreciate it. regional rap is in a good place right now imo!

catching up on some december releases, this karma2zz project is great. delivery reminds me of boldy, but with keef's ad-libs (and taste in production)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqXDWchMCJQ

yeah he dropped like 10 tapes last year, all good. My fav being "new st louis" and "rookie of the year".

high bpms
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRVy31vDFRY

still catching up on 2022 stuff. seems like atl would produced a new rapper like seddy hendrinx every month back in the day. anyway, digging the low-key melodics here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQaTXrQ3w7U

continuing to catch up on 2022 things. first noticed samuel shabazz on the top$ide-produced "wavy gang immortal" babyface ray's 'mob.' turns out he dropped his own tape in august and it's pretty great. sounds a bit like ray but more melodic and romantic, with some peezy-esque hustler talk mixed in.

his "i ain't seen the difference"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXrLVwQu-vo

might as well post "wavy gang immortal" too cause there's no babyface ray thread (yet)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeS9LoqoIgM

he has several tapes with babyface ray

good to know

crazy how fast samples get turned around these days, this one uses “girlfriend” by ruger. love the push-pull of the upbeats from the sample and the hyperactive 808s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBJt1rT7cg

would be remiss to not post the new rio & mike... a bit subdued but still wonderful to hear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwPJqtLvDQA

that rocko song is cool... he's always been on a different wave than the rest of contemporary new york in terms of being very melodically driven. i kinda fell off of his stuff the past year or so but i've always had a real soft spot for his music

a "subdued" rmc mike is a new one lol, like ric flair on his day off

catching up on last year, why khaliq from st. paul, really dig this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpps8RKeaaQ

whoa that Girlfriend-sampling track is p wild

gloss up mixtape is fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viP5CvCvoec

yeah it's really nice

still no misses from luh tyler. tape when???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSHDfR8-DwQ

kamaiyah always does the same thing but i always like it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9uw0P68UU8

tyler the only new rapper I really like / have hope for 'at that level' rn ...

still batting 1.000 lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSQ6QZtuJ9E

it's a change of pace to rap over an icewear vezzo-type beat, instead of the smoother sounds he'd been working, but what can i say, shit is hard

to my astonishment, the Grammy award 50 years of hiphop thing was incredible

yeah it was honestly a pretty great moment. idk why they devoted so much time to busta’s “look at me now” verse, not exactly a watershed moment in the genre’s history imo

dugg and ray always sound great together

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqP7EwfbroE

all time detroit classic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQEnRh3kx0Q

wb nutty tape is funky, no nonsense, drug-dealin shit. this one reminds me of my favorite-ever los & nutty song, "i'm jus fuckin around"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N-OYBJZ0K0

the new daemoney mixtape is so good, just sounds massive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3wh4PmOx3M

good stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZopDbB0Bmkw

philly might've lost yesterday, but at least they have ot7quanny. "i woulda been smoked bishop, the fuck is wrong with quincy" lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdhuYSoMjc

Defcee/Blockhead...love this

https://defcee.bandcamp.com/track/learning-gravity-prod-by-blockhead?from=fanpub_fb_trk

ok so this isn't exclusively a luh tyler thread, but damn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k585qIupRGc

r3 da chilliman and stoneda5th are my fav new somnambulant l.a. rappers, and they manage to convince ex-sob x rbe rapper daboii to tone down his usual hyperactivity for this one. good stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlYWmmu7_8

Has there been Young Devyn discussion on ILM?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywi9EYLT_so

next year's thread will be 'motion music' t/f

going with “t,” which will make this even more of a luh tyler thread

late 2022 but loving $ilkMoney

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BERfCHgwHNc

bigxthaplug album rules

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMhg3sDufKg

i love unlikely samples, the bangles screwed and chopped is kinda cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrb537guqcQ

new bktherula project is good, she continues to be prob my favorite "rage rapper"

"do it again," more melodic and introspective
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBUfyq2cLWg

"pssyonft," less introspective lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P62nMNUfihk

the new rxknephew album is sounding amazing, goddamn. way better production too

here's a gd track, but it gets soooo great later on, 'critical' is vast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQN1B9wn-HQ

amazing extended rio da yung og verse on the new lil pump album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arRux-T9aKI

random, but yeah, this is great. must’ve been in the vault for a while

michigan scene in general lost a lot of momentum when rio went away smh. they need him back

pretty great no auto durk verse on glorilla's "ex's"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEwJQ5M8f5Q

been a while since i liked a tiktok rap song as much as this one (prob "munch" or sleazyworld go). a very clear keef rip, but what isn't?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FVgJwO2QNs

funny you mention keef. i can def hear that. to me it made me think of roscoe dash. it’s a pretty fun song

yeah def calls back to the "swag surfin"/roscoe dash era, notes of rae sremm in there too. production is totally indebted to young chop tho, and the "stick stick stick" part feels like something keef would've done in that era (plus the "blick...iannna" line haha)

apparently there's a Veeze album coming?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zjqY2X_2HY

^that's fantastic btw

album's been coming for 2 years now

more veeze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JroT4xzyZM

oh yeah “gomd” is excellent

the new mixtape by florida rapper mari montana (who made "superstar," one of my fav rap songs from last year) is shockingly consistent. extremely listenable, no-nonsense hustle talk. just a voice that sounds good over everything

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDzMCt8mGFE

mixtape is called 'outstanding member'

love creeping, paranoid west coast shit, "can't trust it" by rucci hits the spot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bdy03KeYHY

luh tyler album is great. some of the new ones are similar kinds of funked-up bangers that he's been putting out, but the first two tracks are mexikodro-produced plugg and cloud rap with a creepy n64-zelda-style sample

really good loe shimmy verse. and a timely shoutout to f.a.u. by trapland pat lol

I thought the beats were kinda underwhelming considering but hes great obv

the lack of “law & order” is glaring

new Larry June/Alchemist is cool

been listening to big boogie, gravelly rapper from memphis. enjoyed his new album definition of big dude. it's not all tough talk, he's got impressive range and a surprisingly effective singing voice. been walking around muttering "i'm big dude" to myself all day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65NvWGZ5AvU

new trayle album is unsurprisingly really good, production went up a level imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDLwEJdv2Bk

for those who liked the defcee x boathouse album from last year, defcee has a new project out as defprez, a trio with rapper crashprez and producer knowthetime. very high-level rapping throughout. here's one that samples "midnite cruiser" by steely dan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP0-lWrT_l4

oh nice. that defcee x boathouse record was fun

been digging che noir, love the beat on this one w/ 7xvethegenius

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVR-Ra9Jyjc

more good Defcee action

https://spectacular-diagnostics.bandcamp.com/track/class-ft-curly-castro-illogic-defcee

i've liked che noir in the past but thought her new album leaned too hard on criticizing/scolding other women rappers

yeah i could see that, sanctimony is always a hazard in backpacker stuff

new Gabe 'Nandez with some old Neptunes type vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzpctUxfSLE

i'm convinced lay bankz is gonna be a superstar, how hard is this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNtWif6xayg

new shawny binladen mixtape might be my favorite one of his yet, beta selection is top tier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjWD7a5pUc

*beat selection haha

The World ending for sure

— guy baby (@VEEZE4Eva) May 1, 2023

we're never getting this tape lol

had a long subway ride so i listened to the whole destroy lonely album. it's overlong for sure, but i like the vibe. lone doesn't have much to say, but he's a compelling presence. wish there were a few more songs like "which way" and fewer with the fisher price guitars. i do like the guitars at times, especially on "safety (interlude)" which is great sad future cosplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRuZ-Z6N5Go

i feel very alienated from the opium scene lol

my fav song right now is "my skeleethe" which is kinda going viral

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUqI9DN_ocU

that's super fun!

i feel very alienated from the opium scene lol

destroy lonely is the only one who seems to have something going on, imo, you're not missing much

"my skeleethe" is great, hope it pops off. feel like l.a. hasn't had a proper hit since...ambjaay?

whoheem - "let's link" was after... but yeah we're talking kinda ephemeral songs. i did hear "uno" the other day and i was like, damn this song rules

"let's link" felt more tiktok-y than like a song that bubbled from the local scene. i mean, "uno" also got the tiktok bump, but it felt a lot more like a groundswell

some songs i've liked recently

scy jimm - "last days." jimm feels to me like north florida's answer to g herbo, in the way he gruffly articulates raw emotion (and for his loose relationship with the beat lol)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bis2wEf2Fh0

the real g herbo is still out there doing things. my fav from his new mixtape is "feel this"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7XkrOEl9fY

sleazyworld go - "off the court" ft. polo g. great no auto polo verse.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QULO9wy5E9M

sme taxfree - "ridiculous" ft. mariboy mula mar. my recent milwaukee jam of choice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4XhdmhFwjk

paco panama x ot7quanny - "high balance"; if los and nutty formed a trio, paco would be the third guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMzYomxmbYo

fwc big key - "flamed up"; blistering detroit posse cut (a diss aimed at a different detroit posse)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M156pOrRCdA

daemoney, lucki & money muzik - "who is that?" ft. babyface ray & veeze. somnolent, mostly-detroit posse cut (not the guys fwc big key is mad at)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWg7WlVzjI

joony - "jagged edge"; laid back and engaging
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GWqVOvUUGI

new wiardon tape, called 'road music,' goes hard. he's got a great laid-back presence behind the mic, and he's grown into an incredible producer. love "chest out" with its herky-jerk guitar sample combined with the propulsive detroit-style drums, and "trackhawk," which is from the "regulate" school of smoky late night funk.

"chest out"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93IBWqqcueA

"trackhawk"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtUgf-FQFeI

oh yeah new wiardon thanks

loved "before fajr" from the new durk album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIbIYihwIao

I like this, kind of a cool modern/classic feel hybrid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHNQkfzfyP0

couple really good loe shimmy guest spots, recently.

from last week's kodak album, "get away." really more of a loe shimmy song on a kodak album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMUGNhg2kMU

and "5 hour layover" on the new trapland pat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK-h2NkOaIU

daboii, formerly of sob x rbe, teamed with oakland production crew the mekanix for a mob throwback. very satisfying, even the clumsy, funkdafied "billie jean" interpolation lol

this ("up up") was my fav at first blush
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICDLmXg7py8

wait that was "that hurt me," the closer. here's "up, up"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq2h2JGr5yU

Marcus Moore in ew York Times re jazz-rapper Cisco Swank

want to thank sislafami for posting about karrahboo on twitter, i am obsessed. love te contast between her blasé delivery and the souped-up enrgy/flint-style 808s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhGXefbkoUw

*the contrast

she's great

new boldy collab ep with canadian producer chanhays is unsurprisingly really good. my fav is "i tried," complete with references to obscure football players, random detroit satellite cities, and some casually poignant lines over a beautiful guitar sample (and maybe the same vocal sample from kanye's "mercy"?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymbLnnXVQR0

new babyfxce e song is rly dope, this is my fav stuff out of michigan putting veeze & rio aside

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1JbOw013QQ

yeah i'm continually pretty impressed with him. "september 17" is still one of my favorite songs of the year

speaking of veeze, apparently his mixtape is actually finally coming out on wednesday

(when i met babyfxce he played me a bunch of unreleased that was pretty incredible i thought, he has a great ear for beats)

“jersey luv” is getting run thru tik tok again, i really like this idea of making brent faiyaz club music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT6VDEoCBWM

wtf is going on with killah priest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpCNRs8Cago

certified trapper - 50 on 6

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWF9Qv-aHw

love the sexxy red album

i can’t say his name…cause he be cheatin

Lol Killah Priest is such a nut

veeze album's good as hell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXeO4gxX7-o

he's really rapping his ass off

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3POkgcrr5RE

this sha ek song is one of my fav of his in a while. that voice really jumps out of the speakers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvvozMFA5ZY

I dont love that

Chr#s Richards in Washington Post calls Veeze best rap album of year so far

Sometimes his mumbling approach sounds like it; other times it’s cliche . I dunno

sure but on "overseasballer," he says "my stash is colored, i edible arrangement the money"

r1ch4rds writing about veeze sounds really awful, gonna skip that one...

It is aoty tho.

oh yeah it’s a great record. i can’t stop playing “weekend”

I haven't had the chance to spend much time with it yet, but "cliche" seems like an odd criticism?

Some conventional rapper word choices by Veeze ( the obligatory n and p words plus d word and more . Some conventional beats . But yeah he’s distinctive and unique in his flow and sound on a lot )

wait… d word?

as in get off my d? lol

yes!

I can deal with all of that (although would prefer to never hear it again as old man me has been hearing that on rap records for decades) but the minute I put the album on in front of my wife or others, those are the first words that jump out at them

make rappers call people suckas again

ah ok fair enough, I'm familiar with that dilemma lol

mentioned a couple rap songs in the "11 fav songs of the moment" thread, might as well post them here too

kenzo b - "bffr," which is an irresistible throwback along the lines of "lip gloss" mixed with "1 thing"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpdfKEqTqZE

that mexican ot - "barrio" ft. lefty sm, a bilingual banger that borrows a lot from regional mexican music (including the waltz time!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k0nwpoBNXo

earl sweatshirt - "making the band (danity kane)," produced by evilgiane who did the kendrick/keem jersey club track. earl hasn't been this lively in a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjhTvsLesLo

the kenzo song is quite fun

make rappers call people suckas again

― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Friday, July 7, 2023 12:18 PM (one week ago) bookmarkflaglink

rappers have been saying d lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5c3p7H0iw8

not the d-word!

speaking of that mexican ot, his "from the ranch" version of "johnny dang" is making its rounds on twitter. the man is outrageously charismatic, with those rolled r's. original song has a great paul wall verse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvmUrOSahsc

really like this beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcBzNGk--8

I like the new Valee a lot

it's good yeah, but i preferred the more freewheeling vacabularee album from last year, which used beats from his underground collaborators like ayochillman and kiltkarter. harry fraud is fine, a good person to call if you want to make an album with structure and an action bronson feature

ha yeah well u know me

i'll check out vacabularee

the ot mexican is addictive, just listening to his spotify "this is" list...the rolled r's are so crazy i love it

oops that mexican ot !

lol yeah i swear he rolls other letters too sometimes

he's innovating

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EhmkZvh8bg

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/08/magazine/hip-hop-deaths.html

Danyel Smith’s nicely written ode to rappers and djs over the last 50 or so years who died too young with context about life in America

yeah that was a great piece

Tree - Free Tree is really great

I feel bad he's one of those guys I tend to forget about but every time I listen to him I love it

new babyface ray tape is his best in years!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXBJFp5vv5c

i'm sure you posted about this album 2 years ago when it came out but i saw the whole deal of est gee walking out on cosmic kev's podcast so decided to check him out.

ended up listening to the recent collab album with 42 dugg....i found est gee to be a charmless oaf for the most part but 42 dugg really popped with a zany energy, reminded me of boosie in a way but obv different style

ended up listening to young & turnt 2 and enjoyed it quite a bit

there are a couple gee tapes tha are pretty good, mainly thinking 'i still don't feel nun' and the first 'bigger than life or death.' definitely humorless but appealingly steely-eyed with some great midwest production. the dugg collab tape was just ok, and everything he's done since then has been much less distinctive, with the beats from guys like enrgy replaced by wallpaper trap dudes who are friends with yo gotti and shoehorned features from guys like machine gun kelly

dugg is a great character and the rap game has been a little less fun since he went to jail.

he and babyface ray are a fantastic duo, responsible for a few of the very best street rap songs of this era

"ron artest"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoB8C6TC6uU

"the streets"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQEnRh3kx0Q

"one of one"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd5Qe5eW12s

one of one was one that stuck out to me on turnt 2, I liked Ray's verse

I'm sure you're right there's better Est gee but I dunno didn't do enough for me to want to investigate further

def want to check more 42 Dugg

est gee is very good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wCfc0cnKA
thump shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjqeQPQvrwg
riata dada

riata dada is excellent, but you don’t hear him working with guys like akachi anymore

akachi went on to doing uzi and trippie redd shit yea

riata dada is the most chief keef sounding song he has prob

i can't handle jiggy in jersey.. too much sha ek

i like sha a lot but 27 tracks is a lot of anyone

he needs to calm down

sha yuck

I love it! It reminds me of old bop-mixtapes or footwork-mixes, a relentless onslaught of a sound really not made for the long haul. The sound quality is horrendous as well at times, exactly like it should be. Best hiphop album of the year, maybe.

been really digging atlanta rapper anycia lately. she's only released a few songs but she's batting 1.000 so far. reminds me a lot of veeze.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft8Bhe5rJ80

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4pChTOfjSk

Blu x Real Bad Man - love this beat also CL Smooth guest verse!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arzcTCQesgU

pretty much every drakeo verse from the vault has been pretty great, new tape with his brother ralfy is no exception. this one surprised me by having an enrgy beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpq9JqUGL7k

i hope the bluebucks & drakeo album (that i helped put together when i worked w/ them) eventually comes out. some really fun songs on there incl a few enrgy beats — well at least on the original tracklist. transcribing drakeo lyrics was one of most hysterically futile professional experiences of my life. long live the ruler

i saw ralfy teasing that one a while back, down for any collaboration between the punchiest punchline artists in west coast rap

they finally announced and it then it never materialized. idk why

myaap's "automatic" has an audacious pointer sisters sample, one of my favorite songs from milwaukee this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfGg-p42m24

this is absurd and so much fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYZOufWr1zY

love that myaaap, that sample flip is so good

good to see keemy casanova back, makes me wish 100s would start making music again

(i know he's still doing things under the name 'kossiko,' but it's not the same)

fredo bang has been making versions of this song for 3-4 years with varying degrees of success. this particular iteration is a really good one, imo. i've always loved his voice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt_5DfMfDzQ

jenn carter back with compadres tata and kyle richh. i think tata wins this particular battle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xk6m89OjkI

finally getting around to reading pitchfork's profile on the milwaukee rap scene, which introduced me to munch lauren. haven't dug deep, but i really liked his recent 'summer glaze' ep. the single, "shake it," is gaining regional traction. it's a joy, capturing some of that elusive energy found in only the best snap or hyphy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9HObJMmKXk

all five tracks on the ep are worth hearing tho. in the absurd samples category, here's "new tricks"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRE9FqqeYY

he's a veteran of this scene, his 'super saiyans' tapes with deceased rapper bankhead are local classics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXVf8An1Vac

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbKsZ4FHSXI

Oh, that's really good! Does Milwaukee rap sound like that in general?

it does, like that with michigan influences.

1100 himself - "you feel me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ3EwkYzktw

whole mixtape (called 'leven durant') is pretty good, this was far & away the highlight tho

and a flint posse cut from the most-anticipated rap release of the day (not that one)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo3GXy88Ng8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce0ucUpk4vI

new Rome Streetz tape is great if yr looking for some retrograde gritty street raps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8XDug-Yfj4

scy jimm - "what you make it"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTjBdB6kqzo

Not sure if you guys are into stuff like this but it sounds dope to me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7cTtcT58RI

can't say i was expecting a phoenix interpolation on the new peezy album lol. works pretty well imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVQrdHxckYI

really dig this (devstacks - glo up)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQOSqOX1fbs

loving this posthumous young dolph collab on the new gucci alb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A12x_9iinQM

new kp skywalka tape dropped over the weekend. he's still chasing the high of "granny house," imo, but he has settled into a nice woozily melodic groove. fun twist on the offbeat dmv sound, with strong songwriting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7qGrRwKTVk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7TlQzWeDh0

Larry June and Cardo are a great match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO1lHNz6_e8

like that Kaycyy a lot, he was from St. Paul don't know if he relocated I think he did some stuff on one of the late period Kanye records

amazing. bluebucks consistently have the best sports references, gotta think athletes are attuned to them by now

the thing that cinched my love for them was DJ referencing a rather obscure university of miami wide receiver on clan way 2

but yeah athletes love them, especially the LA ones. westbrook is always posting about them & kawhi put them on the rap album thing he did recently

bad bitches on my top 5, mel kiper jr.

lol

a funny thing about them is that we told them for legal reasons we had to stop putting songs out named after real people & they would still always send in songs named after athletes, announcers etc

“mel kiper jr” became “one good year,” “dwayne jarrett” became “don’t judge me” etc. “h grant” or whatever that one ended up being called was the final one where we like, tried to do some halfway version of the title & it just made very little sense

dwayne jarrett didn't even have one good year smh

new anycia ep out today

DewSoCozy & Tubesock Cam - "HEY MR!"

love this album so much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6dXE_LaGJM

This tubesock cam record is dope, thanks for the rec.

glad you like it! there's a really loose, fun energy going on, almost reminds me of native tongues even though these guys' vibe is different

the beats are kind of nostalgic but not distractingly so. he feels like he would be fun live.

new dj.fresh dj.fresh dj.fresh mixtape for you bay area junkies. this song is old, but i missed it earlier this year. prob my favorite on the tape, thanks to e-40's trickster demon verse lol

"a lot of the shit that i say ain't always true
but it's hella shit that i say that's hella true
it all depends on your point of view
the shit that's old to me might be new to you"

one e-40 always tells the truth, one e-40 always lies

lol

i like this song but mostly i'm addicted to watching this motorcycle chase footage in the video, so cool

wizz havinn album is real solid. supremely laid back, yet somehow motivational.

p4k alphonse posted about this juggrxch bammo x natedawg mixtape last month, triangulates the rx papi/nephew scene with flint and a$ap era harlem. bammo is cool, but the beats by natedawg are the real attraction, they're haunting, playful, and unpredictable.
