Track of the day 6


The Artist: Freddie Gibbs & Madlib
The Track: Freestyle Shit

I'm just going to say it Freddie Gibbs might be top five greatest rappers of all time. When you pair him with Madlib? It's over. Here's a cut from his most collab with the legendary producer.

The best rap artists to relax to right now

Image
  For those of you like me - obsessing over the polls, constantly refreshing browsers, trying to keep track of how many votes are where - we gotta talk. This election is extremely important and nerve wracking and I will admit that two nights ago, I didn't write any posts for the blog because I was too hyper focused on the polls. I actually didn't fall asleep until 4 a.m. that night and barely got any work for my actual job done. I even had to take a two hour nap because I was about to have a melt down. Which brings me to my post today. It's important to remember to take care of ourselves, including showering, getting extra sleep and hydrating. Let's be honest, none of that's going to be possible in the next days/weeks/months and that's understandable. At the very least, we have to try and relax and luckily, there are a few rappers off the top of my head that can do just that. Check out my list of the five best artists to relax to: STATIC RES I know I featured th...

The Cut: Donte Thomas can ease you back into the post Thanksgiving grind

Image
  I really fucking hate Mondays. I really really really fucking hate Mondays that follow a holiday. It's almost like I've completely rebooted and forgot how to do my job or function as well as I did before the holiday. Most of the time, the first day back is a wash and I mostly lurk on Twitter or Youtube while my boss isn't looking (luckily, we're working from home now so I don't have to try too hard.) Luckily, we have rappers like Donte Thomas to get our asses back on track.  Hailing from Portland, Thomas has been hustling for a minute and is even the founder of Produce Organics, an independent art collective music label.  Thomas specializes in smooth lo-fi boom bap that harkens back to the artists that established the genre in the 90's. But to compare Thomas to those before him would be lazy (I don't like comparing artists to other artists if you haven't noticed). This is not hype music, though Thomas has plenty of bars on hand, this is self reflexive ...

The Cut: Canadian rappers are invading our country and TOBi is leading the charge

Image
  This is the second Canadian I've featured on the blog, I'm sensing a trend. If I could best describe the type of music that will more than likely make it on to the blog, I can break it down into one word - Unique. If you looked that word up, a picture of Nigerian-Canadian rapper TOBi would be right next to the word and I think I'm underselling this dude's music. One song we get trumpets, an old school sample and west coast rhymes, the next we get stripped back drums with slick versatile lyrics. Favorite lyrics: Above - "You're well spoken for a black man, that's how you serve a compliment with your back hand." Below- "Proud boys make noise, lions roar to a cats meow, pound for pound in the ring I'm Pacquiao." Maybe I'm late on this one, I don't care he needs to be talked about more. His next album comes out Oct. 21 if you fuck with the music.  Let me know what y'all think. Lux
