What an interesting week it’s been. An especially bad one for closed minded bigots, too. With the legalization of gay marriage nationwide, the renewal of Obamacare and the fucking BET awards kicking ass, it was an especially good week on the other end for us left-wingers. Completely unrelated, some awesome fucking music came out this week also and since I’m lazy, I waited until the weekend to dig up my favorite, new tracks. So without further adieu…
Rejjie Snow – All Around The World
Rejjie Snow is an interesting case. He’s, for one, the only rapper I’m knowledgeable of from Dublin, Ireland and has an accent that makes his lyrics and flow stand out unlike anyone else. In “All Around The World”, Snow shows a much more spacey style after being quiet for quite some time now. Fun, Pharrell like melodies blend swimmingly on this track so much I can’t seem to stop playing it.
Hidden Charms – Dreaming Of Another Girl
London four piece Hidden Charms are just barely out of their teens, but have a matured sound that is familiar as it is refreshing. With the help of producer Shel Tamly, who’s resume includes “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks and “My Generation” by The Who, “Dreaming Of Another Girl” is a great late night summer rock anthem. Can’t wait to hear their debut EP, which is currently in the works. Cheers, boys.
Azekel – Sold My Love
Azekel won me over within the first 15 seconds of this track. “Sold My Love” is an emotional and gripping song that progresses into a brilliant sound scape. He’s got an EP dropping July 12th via Thunderlightning Recordings if you wish to know more. Oh, and he just played Glastonbury, so you could say he’s balling right now.
The Internet – Girl (Feat. Kaytranada)
I wouldn’t stop playing The Internet’s “Girl”, featuring Kaytranada, even if I could. I’ve been a HUGE Odd Future fan since the group began rising to fame but I’ve never really given The Internet the time of day…until now. Their new album, Ego Death, is an absolute delight featuring appearances from Tyler, The Creator, Janelle Monae and Vic Mensa that really picks up where N.E.R.D. left off after Seeing Sounds. Pretty bold statement right there, but with Chad Hugo stepping in to add his touch on some tracks, I’d say it’s an accurate one. My point is this…
BUY FUCKING EGO DEATH, PEOPLE. IT’S THAT FUEGO.
