I trust that you enjoyed my all-hip-hop ‘Smoke x Mirrors‘ a little while ago. (I promised this one right afterwards so really my bad 🙈🙈🙈.) The feedback that I’ve received was amazing (and I look forward to another go at it at some other point this year). Here we’re back to our regular dose of what the marketing types would call “urban” music. Project recommendations? Yes, of course! I strongly suggest you direct your ears to the latest works from Che Noir (The Thrill of the Hunt 2), Jamila Woods (Legacy! Legacy!) and MoStack (Stacko). And I get the feeling that the upcoming final album from Major Lazer is gonna be one for the books.
If you’re new to this, every week, I try to put together songs that push the envelope, that are dope and that have lots of replay value. Let these joints make your commute smooth and rock you into reflection and meditation. As always, I’ll be back next week.
