Meijar Probeats - Sdudla Somdantso feat. April Yung, Gaffi, Emiky RSA, Shela Weh Mngani

2 sinister sounding chords and a sick beat. i like s.

new rocky album is pretty bland overall. i like sauce walka's verse on "stop snitching" tho

The production on the new Xaviersobased is pretty incredible. If they'd released it as an instrumental, it would been hyped by the electronica crowd.

I am listening to it, it's pretty wonderful yeah

I mean, this is a pretty incredible piece of music:

All the filtering and swooshing and the stuttering and then the moment around 1:09 where a rhythm is there for two bars.

rip michael “5000” watts of swishahouse

you produce “still tippin,” you are immortal

“michael watts he made me hot”

rip, one of my favourite songs of all time

listening to the xavier now. i am often guilty of the “clearer production = level up” fallacy, but i am def connecting more to this new album than any of his past work.

“packs gone,” what an incredible song

Oh yeah, that's me too. I only get new subgenres once the 'major statements' roll in, with increased clarity in the productions, less chaotic overload, and the same idea ten times in a row, which is when all the perceptive ones are on to the next new thing, lol. But hey, this 'nu-jerk' thing is a pretty great kind of music?

been hearing the name pz' (pronounced peezy) a lot recently, so i've been checking out his stuff. def a disciple of carti and uzi but he's found his own lane within the style. his southern drawl is more pronounced than carti's, he gets slippery melodies from uzi, and he actually raps on top of rage beats instead of doing the syllabic free association that a lot of his "underground" peers do. he's already released these three songs this year

"all of me"

"fantastic 5"
