P.O.S. - Fuck Your Stuff
Minneapolis rapper P.O.S. is dropping his new record We Don’t Even Live Hereon Tuesday, and the first single is a banger. The album is a late contender for one of the best rap records of the year, and I can’t wait to give it more time. Check the video out above and buy the record on Tuesday.
change- danny brown
new danny brown track switches up the pace and brings things down for a smooth enchanting two minutes and fifty two seconds. if you’re listening and thinking “is this really his voice?”. yes, it is his voice.
Frank Ocean - Super Rich Kids (Feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
It’s kind of old hat now, but regardless: this new Frank Ocean is fire. Everything everyone is saying is right. This album rules. This song rules. The production is amazing. The guest feature is quickly becoming one of my favorite things Earl has done and it is definitely the best thing he’s done since his return. If you haven’t listened to channel ORANGE yet, get on that. I suspect we’ll be spinning this heavily come fall.
Why? - By Torpedo or Crohn’s
Why?’s record Alopecia seems to be a staple on my iPod; something I throw on when I don’t know what else to listen to. The penultimate track to the album is the downtrodden, defeated “By Torpedo or Chron’s.” Yoni Wolf is uncompromisingly personal, and the song benefits greatly from that. It’s not self-pitying ever, just observant.
Odd Future - “Rella
Late post! It’s been a good month for Odd Future fans. While browsing the internet, it seemed they have just released a new song and video from their upcoming LP OF Tape: Vol. 2 (out March 20th through their own label). This is an incredibly strong track featuring Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, and OF breakout Tyler the Creator. Many people were slightly disappointed in Tyler’s Goblin last year, even though the single “Yonkers” was able to garner him a VMA for “Best New Artist”. Hopefully, this will turn some naysayers around by the time OF Tape comes out. Earl Sweatshirt may not be on there just yet, but this should do for the time being!
Song of the Day
Coolio - Gangsta’s Paradise
Gangsta’s Paradise; 1995
Any song that evokes a Weird Al knockoff is worth noting its epochal importance. That’s pretty much all I can write, dealing with a credit crisis.
Black Hippy - Rolling Stone
Black Hippy (2011)
This is the new shit. Black Hippy needs the hype of an Odd Future because they have the talent of a Wu-Tang. It is only a matter of time until this collective of Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q has a breakthrough song, tumbling onto internet fame and a record deal. This may not be it, but it certainly resonates with people containing an extensive knowledge of music history; the beat draws a sample from The Zombies “Time of the Season”.
Madlib & Frddie Gibbs - Thuggin
Thuggin EP (2011)
This is too big to happen. Freddie Gibbs is probably the biggest underground rapper right now. Madlib is one of the best producers in hip hop. This shit is too much; you better believe Imma pick up this 12”.
