veeze is my favorite rapper rn

yeah he's clean. it's a bummer he seems totally uninterested in releasing a full length project

i hadn't thought about this but someone on twitter pointed out that westside gunn went in the hospital in december for breathing problems and i just looked and he hasn't tweeted since Dec 22 or posted on IG since Dec 15 which is...highly unusual for him :(

Ok I love the sound of most of these tracks, where do I sign.

Are these really considered “rage” beats? They all sound pretty chill to me.

this is the rolling rap thread, moka

why are the umlauts

Veeze is really good.

Ah my bad! Sorry

rolling rap thread titles are only good if they confuse people

why are the umlauts

it's a reference to one of the foremost rage beats guys who likes to stylize his songs that way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd5l5NtzoWc

yeat is the artist, his name doesn't show up in the vid title

yëat

getting yëëtëd

catching up on some rio da yung og eps from last year and sheeesh is this good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oExj2LaKTsg

i should link to the actual video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMTjDFrpjV0

new babyface ray album starts kinda rough but settles into a groove

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPxhUIIZFpE

this seems goon friendly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnzSRDpszG4

I love "Watchu Need" by Rio da Yung OG

digging this, especially the beat, reminds me of some old school jazzy Black Moon tracks, really like how they incorporate that long jazz solo guitar run which is kinda chaotic but really works and makes it stand out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1ulFyr1qkA

veeze video is down assuming it's this?
great beat on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y97aInvWqjY

yes, that's the one. good song.

folks from other regions are taking the veeze flow. this one does a pretty solid job, imo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o89XSLhBFQQ

i dig these guys, Tanya Morgan (but it's two rapper dudes and that's the group name for some reason), this has that infectious pharcyde, old hieroglyphics kinda vibe to it, they met on the okayplayer boards lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH0r1qNiQfA

tanya morgan, now that's a blog era throwback. cool to see they're still out there doing things.

GTA is nice

veeze is dope, this was one of my favorite songs last year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmzZgpARKUM

that's great too, ty

veeze "A&W" was prob my fav rap song last year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzT7ZkS8-D0

Is GTA officially released or is it going to be released on an upcoming album? I only find it on yt and soundcloud.

it's in the rap netherworld of yt-only/soundcloud-only releases where you don't have to clear any samples or feature appearances

digging the new junglepussy ep, and the way each song flows into the next, moving from traditionalist boom-bap to something more abstract.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMVXuOBmV2U

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnDFHznIyTo

new saba is predictably great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-MVN1PSY7o

yeah. he posted a note on socials asking people not to compare it to 'care for me,' which makes me think he worked hard to make an album that wouldn't stand in its shadow.

posted my initial reaction here, still thinking about the album tho: Saba - CARE FOR ME

Yeah really like the new Saba. everyone is raving about the last three tracks of the album - which are great - but being really into Smino and 6lack’s style, having them together on Still makes it automatically my fav one even before I listened to it.

i really love how saba is so diverse over the course of an album, different styles of beats, different flows, guest rappers with really different styles...most rappers have thing that they are good at and just stick to that, saba can switch it up by it still has an overall sense of unity

veeze video is down assuming it's this?
great beat on this

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, February 8, 2022

GTA slaps for sure. The production sounds similar to the HBK Gang work used by P-Lo and Iamsu!.

I just noticed the ILM tracks of the year poll wrapped up a week ago -- not much hip hop there at all that I'm seeing. I can't even find the hip hop thread from last year. Was there any kind of year-end wrap up, or any recommended best of the year lists out there? Appreciate it.

I'm pretty out of the loop but this worked for me for 2021.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV_EP4MDLW0

ALLBLACK & Cal-A - We Straight (Official Video) (feat. Vince Staples)

a few of us listed our faves on the rap thread last year starting about here: rolling thread 2021 (deluxe edition)

Thanks!

Oooh I love this, Doe Boy from Cleveland, also the gangsta granny in the video is too much haha, love this beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpkcK1xRlLE

Oops from Atlanta sorry saw Cleveland somewhere but he's Future's guy I guess

nah he is from cleveland, but also signed to future’s fbg

that’s a good song, i also loved his collab with 42 dugg and g herbo from late last year

really loving the new project by sf rapper lil bean, prob the city’s best entry into the “pain music” field

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXIOVvMZ4pI

That ALLBLACK track is pretty good.

speaking of the titular rage beats, the yëat tape is a bit much but appropriately so. there are great moments, like the below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcNFXUbQtMk

posted some 2022 rap in the 11 favorite songs thread, might as well post 'em here

su'lan - 6pm on melrose ft. baby stone gorillas: ruthless cali rap from two of the coast's best groups working
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XBHufXfOE4

realyungphil - everything we need (prod. by evilgiane): idk how these drill producers get away with using these samples but this is an incredible flip of a not so great kanye song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvngBdpZFHs

bandgang masoe - top of the key: it's a contact sport, put your pads on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQgd-AiJwuk

also can't stop playing the "new" king von song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhd0Le08I08

That Su'lan is so good...
All them in BSG hit their verses really distinct...
Also, there are some excellent beerbellies on this thread...

no sacred cows in sampling anymore lol. the prince estate must have retired his team of female black lawyers that used to file dmca requests by the dozen

good song tho!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_wyny3b0cg

1100 himself is a good rapper. not sure why he calls himself "eleven thousand" but spells his name with one too few zeroes, but i digress. mitchell is good too, i respect him for defiantly picking the least google-able rap name possible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CarDbRNC7LI

you know i got that iron on me, yeah i got that skillet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_JwzVsv5Ps

new veeze (finally)... his beat selection remains immaculate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43U04KqyvUk

might be my favorite thing he's ever done

the higher tempo of that beat suits him better than i would've thought

i hit the strip club i'm too rich i don't belong in there

trappin aint for you boy you need to get a job

los is establishing himself as one of the best in detroit, and his new tape 'kareem from new orleans vol. 2' is one of my fav things of his. particularly love this song of his with his frequent rap partner wb nutty and icewear vezzo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHIMOzCWcYE

and yes, veeze does make an appearance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVZQHrcMuXc

finally a rap duo that ilx can call its own

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fty2lFGxVdE

off the mussle, on the money, same difference

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-Z8UgYt7o

otm otm

this was fast!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jRb8hSyGs4

good song. what is this sample? rotary connection?

displaying Goonew’s dead body at a nightclub is in very bad taste imho.

please don’t embed things like that, if anyone wanted to see we could’ve searched ourselves

Sorry! I’m on mobile and forgot they get embedded automatically.

Can a mod please remove the links?

It's a statue i think.

to be fair i only looked on mobile and didn’t click thru. still, i think it’s best to steer clear of the graphic videos and photos that sometimes surface after a rapper gets shot

Afaik It’s not a wax statue. It’s his real deceased body as reported by XXL

https://www.xxlmag.com/goonew-deceased-body-club-bliss-response-backlash/

https://www.xxlmag.com/goonew-deceased-body-standing-upright-onstage-club-video/

This sort of thing may have started in Puerto Rico criminal circles a decade ago or so. They call these type of funerals “muerto parado”. Glad it hasn’t really became a trend. I find it very distasteful.

rage beats are fun because if you don't like one song, wait two mins and it will change.

i do like this one tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jIxMdM0-Sg

In less disturbing Goonew news, he got lots of credit from some for his rap flow--

https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/552331/remembering-goonew/

Goonew’s stint at MPR is significant because a number of gifted artists from D.C. and Atlanta were on the label at the time. The infectious “punch in” flow favored by the MPR rappers was sometimes dubbed the “DMV Flow.” The cadence, popularized by D.C.-based rappers where bars overlap into the previous bar, was adopted by rappers in other parts of the country, and even internationally as it spread through the hip-hop industry. The origin of the “DMV Flow” is a hotly contested debate, but Goonew’s role in its evolution is on record.

The 24-year-old Maryland rapper had a gift for smearing time, phrasing his rhymes slightly in front of the beat,

https://www.washingtonpost.com/music/2022/03/19/goonew-appreciation/

some enjoyable boom-bap for ums and those with ums-adjacent tastes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sEJpSZVW-Y

and some more!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvMZWN2Wfxg

“got it off the muscle, don’t believe me? the proof’s on google”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKViDLSEEfg

really digging rob49. he's from new orleans, co-signed by birdman, and sounds a bit like juvenile, but he's more than a throwback. very enjoyable to hear him talk his shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWX2FG3_5QU

this one with lil baby is the hit. well...the remix to the hit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I9H3PHFo3I

real stepper, he got six toes he a creature

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWN99MyeEhg

another handful of seconds of good Veeze

^^ another great song lol. give us a tape, man. i'll take 10 tracks and 18 mins.

a new favorite rapper of mine is neno calvin, new orleans rapper who does a good job of mixing in baton rouge styles and writing bars about sex that don't make me want to gag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4WKGAG1xu0

yl is probably my favorite sample drill guy going right now. loved his 'soda club' album from last year, and on his new album with zoomo (called 'in memory of'), he branches out a bit, leaving drums behind in a lot of tracks, like the below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHoSGmK29c4

interesting that a song called "crunkstarz" is one of the more subdued tracks in the whole duke deuce discography, but i think it might be his best single yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QxxYfqtrAs

i fucking love babytron

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkDJ9aMeh28

i love him too

this style of song/video is perfect for him

he did another similar song over local michigan hits, also classic.

i’d really love to hear full versions of “run it” and “independent” lol

**loving** the new songs on babyface ray's deluxe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sks-4_UIb4

of course there's one for the veeze heads

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohi_QHDVZlo

glorilla from memphis has been blowing up with her song "fnf," which is up to #9 trending on youtube. i can see why, it's a great video, this year's "beating down the block," with the potential to be a much bigger hit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww6ykF2ktaI

Kansas City's SleazyWorld Go with an unexpected but well earned Lil Baby remix on his biggest song. Love the parts with 4 guys just evil dancing like Joker henchmen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uVHCDdeViQ

and xpost I enjoyed the Glorilla track, obvious Blocboy debt aside it had me daydreaming about a snap, hyphy and Hurricane Chris revival

oh yeah sleazy is great, and that song is super quotable

<3 FNF

lots of exciting things happening at the intersection of drill and jersey/philly club these days. philly's zahsosaa has been on this tip for 4 years or so, i'm still hoping he can cross over. this one has at least crossed beyond the i-95 corridor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJiLgXTY0lQ

also really loving this new collab between bandmanrill (the biggest club rapper in newark) and asian doll, who i must admit, i did not think had this in her

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecsOgLx2IYs

the sonic assault of jersey club is not for everyone lol, but a lower key club/rap song that i've been loving recently is yk eif's "have it all": https://soundcloud.com/maddcash-entertainment/have-it-all

i love the zahsosaa song, one of my favorite singles of the year. sadly it got taken off streaming :[

yeah i noticed that. figures to happen in a genre has an uncleared sample or three

*in a genre where every song has an uncleared sample or three

I liked that Asian Doll collab, watched another vid of hers and I liked it, and then looked her up on Wikipedia— supported Trump in the 2020 election, lmfao, don't like it that much.

What’s the sample on the Zahsoosa song? Reminds me a bit of the bassline of Modjo’s Lady.

Great beat btw

it's a giveon song, i think

ceo trayle has gotten to the point where he's pretty effortlessly great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZazHEsUmDc

hes always been great

our boy veeze got on a lil baby track, maybe now he’ll get his crap together and drop a full-length!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAucxF4edAU

he has two songs w/ gucci on the new 1017 comp too but i didn't think they were particularly. i like him over more idiosyncratic, detroit production. something gets a bit lost when he raps over these more standard ATL trap beats

i generally agree with that, but i really love his verse here. imma shop when i land, i gotta take no bags, each city

veeze pulled out the vintage lil reese flow on this lil baby song and i'm here for it

some recent jersey club + drill stuff i'm really into

cash cobain & chow lee - "jholiday / vacant"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9wy0jJBEs4

bandmanrill - "don't make me crash (girl with the tattoo remix)"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieC0WiSCTL0

some of these beats are just amazing, i love what these guys are doing w/ samples. these feel way more tastemaker-y than a lot of what you see w/ sample drill. the bandmanrill one got pulled off youtube for an uncleared miguel (i think) sample. cash cobain one is one streaming tho so i presume they cleared those

"don't make me crash" is so good

yeah it’s amazing. prob his best since “heartbroken”

checked out the full cash cobain & chow lee project and it's maybe my fav sample drill project to date? depending on how you categorize realyoungphil.

have to post this, it cracked me up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5Nta8pcYgU

this is a safe space, so i'm gonna say that i genuinely fuck with the yeat minions song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fX2kMaiMGI

checked out the full cash cobain & chow lee project and it's maybe my fav sample drill project to date? depending on how you categorize realyoungphil.

― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Friday, July 1, 2022 9:22 AM (three hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

Is it really 'drill'

it straddles the club/ny drill line

the "hey there delilah" rip i posted above is of a piece with cash's previous productions for bronx drill dudes (tho the sample is even more gimmicky than usual lol), but stuff like "slizzy like" is a full-on embrace of the jersey/philly thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d7UokU46QY

bandmanrill leaning a bit more towards conventional drill which prob makes sense in terms of his career longevity... but there's enough jersey club in this new one to keep me really intrigued, just feels way fresher compared to the rest of the scene

that cash cobain & chow lee project is great. the "hey there delilah" one was a major skip for me but otherwise really enjoyable

ha yes, def something worth hearing exactly once

Very out of the loop but do I hear cool and Dre all over the place now or has it always been like that?

i feel like it's been a while since the heyday of cool & dre. have you been hearing "hate it or love it" a lot?

they did produce "all the way up," that was a big hit

anyway, this new rylo song is pretty great. the guitars remind me of "beautiful dreamer"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKvXEO5wTE0

oh shit, this is a rod wave beat haha

I think it was “drop” but there’s also a song with wale the play here in the dmv

"chillin" lol, i'd blocked that one out of my memory

it's always cool when boldy james collabs with nu-skool detroit rappers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8AAwZZXXoY

nice!

never had a license never stopped me from driving

not sure how i'm only just now finding out about jenn carter, but look at this shit (she is the one with the second verse)!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eRmUjZwP4U

New Bandmanrill single "Real Hips" gets praised by Caramanica in New York Times as "surprisingly luscious and nimble"

This Jenn Carter track premiered the other day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBWRd1Nl3y0

she's so good!

Has WIFIGAWD been mentioned on ilm before? Really like what I’ve heard of him this year specially “slide thru”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzuUX2KH0Rw

very much enjoyed that, will check him out (seems very prolific)

Yeah he’s hard to keep up with. He has released 4 (!!) albums just this year so far.

gonna do a dump of things i've enjoyed recently

posted this in his own thread, but chief keef's new song "chief so" is fucking massive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f36hvoQ-bCs

sha ek x pgf nuk - "we dropping": some vicious east coast meets midwest drill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P_ZYpTrI5Y

drego & beno - "sorry we was trapping": clever, hard-hitting detroit shit ("missed my mama's birthday, sorry i was trappin")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NdYIMu5eT4

more michigan stuff, here's icewear vezzo and key glock on the menacing ass "whatever"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIKOQjjcl_c

sideshow "salt kills snails": more off-kilter kind of michigan rap, incredible beat by beatsbysav, who is one of my fav producers these days
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNi6Q439t8w

gonna split this up into multiple posts

maskdownmar - "creepa": not sure where maskdownmar is from, but it seems like he's one of the florida guys heavily influenced by the michigan scene a la real boston richey. i'll update if i figure it out. anyway this is fire
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drIen0fgdbY

here's some memphis rap that sounds like an electro-funk version of mission impossible (called, ahem, "50 freaky bitches")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkWdADZD0qw

this isn't as recent, but tony shhnow's "show u" has become one of my favorite songs of the year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suSUf_kOEJE

duwap kaine - "my girlfriend": the harmonies on this one are like nothing i've ever heard!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HIpV87fhpw

i also surprised myself by how much i liked the new album by $uicideboy$ (this one is called "1000 blunts")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgjTx7RVJPI

and finally, some honest to goodness rage beats! (bktherula - "forever pt. 2 (jezebel)" ft. destroylonely)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ-7rd8YgRU

I think rage beats was a bad moniker for this thread...cant rememeber if i shared this ... its college kid shit

i was fairly sure you were the one who suggested it haha, but it was sislafami.

we should've kept the umlauts

i think there are people doing good work within the "rage beat" aesthetic if you go beyond the folks mentioned in that complex "underground" piece. like lucki, izaya tiji, bktherula.

yea but its like a niche, its not 'snap' or 'ringtone' its like saying rap hipster

the only rage beat this year I like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26ejQQFObK8

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/young-nudy-rich-shooter/

https://www.washingtonpost.com/music/2022/08/22/young-nudy-ea-monster-review/

Atlanta's Young Nudy getting attention

the exact sorta shit that writer drools over lol

nadine or chris or both lol

he sounds way more like keef than he does gucci also, but thats neither here nor there

the latter xp

some beauties there, voodoo - thank you!!! tony, duwap and esp Sha EK making my head spin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PggjOWxOtiw

I like this

thanks sean. i'm very hot and cold on duwap but that one got me. tony's reflexxions album is pretty excellent through and through.

and my fav sha ek song is "who you touch," which seems to have been removed from streaming :/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYAii0rJR58

dj lucas and bruiser wolf were responsible for a couple of my fav rap albums from last year. never would've expected them to collab, but this is great. lucas's self-deprecating sense of humor fits really well with bruiser's suga free impression.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMb8jTPBGWk

sha ek album is pretty solid! there's a new, presumably cleared version of "who you touch" with bandmanrill on it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfwNhy47e8Y

"shot at the party" is another highlight, it's hard not to be shaken by the vocal intensity at work (and the little violin that comes in at the end is a nice trick).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBdyGDZjroI

liking the lucki album a lot. nothing too deep, just a pretty sonic world to immerse yourself in for an hour. my fav is prob "goodfellas" (produced by our guy cash cobain)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDfEuWeu1WY

drakeo the ruler posthumous album is out today. seems like they did it right, just using recordings from when he was alive and the occasional new verses from his brother ralfy the plug. my favorite stretch

"john lennon" is a fun lyrical exercise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik8HrY0haDc

"the real champion" is also great, darkly funny and immaculately smooth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2uIdDOoR5A

love the beat on "my way or the highway"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0cptNkkG5w

this mach hommy album is very enjoyable and only a half hour. Matt, I assume you're listening to this already?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uw-_GyOLVs

enjoyed billy woods - church! can't quite place it. feels like it thrives on emotional & artistic ambiguity, sort of thing that rewards lots of listens, while keeping itself varied & vivid enough to sustain a sort of narrative. anyway I guess I'd better hear his other 2022 album tomorrow

nb E L U C I D's album from this year is p classic, guess I'll have to hear armand hammer eh

i think you'll like his aethiopes album, it's arcane and abrasive even by woods standards. it's not my favorite style of his tbh (similar in its abstractness to armand hammer's paraffin), but there's good stuff. gonna check out church this week

anyway, gonna do a dump of things i've been digging lately, but i need to mention "jiggy in jersey 2," which is just so good lol. weirdly, it's the second drill-adjacent song to sample "around the world (la la la la)" that i've heard this year. i feel thoroughly owned to be older than 30, let alone pushing 30!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDhfNCUqZDs

excited for the bandman tape even tho it seems like he's leaning pretty hard into drill as opposed to pure club music. i guess not that surprising. i still like his version of ny drill better than any of the other stuff that's out there right now (personal bias on my end)

now that he's major signed, the sample-heavy club style is probably less feasible over the course of a whole tape. i do hope there's some mcvertt in the mix.

im with you, he's one of the best east coast artists these days, main competition in my mind being sha ek, jenn carter, and...ice spice

*east coast drill

"girl w/ the dragon tattoo" is still one of my fav songs of the year. it seems like it got de-listed on youtube tho you can still get to the video from his page

i think "lurkin" was where he really nailed his vision for club + drill

any of you know anything about The Mellos? https://themellos7.bandcamp.com/album/mscln-dst. Saw this on some bandcamp round-up and liked it, but I don't know anything about it

ok, here are some things i've been liking a lot

new wiki album with subjxct 5 is good, but long and unwieldy. there are some fantastic moments, like this one with dj lucas. subjxct usually meets wiki where he lives in the traditional east coast space, but this one has bounce
"silent meeting"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5a62M7MfLg

damjonboi from detroit finds a middle ground between the croaky street musings of someone like boldy james with the punchline heavy approach of the shittyboyz and babytron
"top shelf"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwAF9mJ2C1A

joony is one of my favorite rappers in his lane, great taste in instrumentals, easygoing melodies that seem to tumble out of him
"21"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NfdH8Fn8_w

"drifting in tokyo" (came out a few months ago, has become a bit of an underground hit)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asoGR26VWlI

youngboy's 3800 degrees is his best project in a very very long time. it came out two weeks ago and he's already released another project since lol. only one has mouse on da track tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8vou7KB38Y

last one for now. still working my way thru the new 1017 compilation, and it's pretty astounding how gucci has remained such an excellent discoverer of talent. i love enchanting, and her whispery flow, wish she'd release more music. she sounds fantastic over that old "photoshoot" beat!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aITJWsZbZqE

eagerly awaiting the ceo trayle album

"girl w/ the dragon tattoo"

rev's "girl with the drag-on tattoo" is one of my all-time ILX display names

New EP from one of my favorite rappers (check the emo-punk closing track)

https://open.spotify.com/album/087U0DnHQF2I4HFG7OI1Gx?si=h6HAWSO5SfS6PN9lguf8kQ

new albums from bandmanrill, duke deuce, smino, and babytron out today. suck on that shit, c@rl ch3ry

haven't checked out any of the new smino stuff but looking forward to that one

bandman album is pretty good, tho the previously-released songs are the highlights.

i guess that original "who you touch" sample is never gonna get cleared. thank god for youtube

Really loving the Smino album (and the continued presence of Monte Booker is a huge part of that)

been slacking on boring street rap and dead-end backpacker posts, digging ja'king the divine a lot

smino alb is one of my favorites of the year. he's just the smoothest mf in the game!

thanks for the reminder, been meaning to check that out

love this, doesn't quite live up to the song title but what could, reminds me of busta in the chorus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pS7jGd3l9U

love $ilkmoney, had no idea he was back. and with a whole new project nonetheless!

looking through the new tracklist and that’s probably only the fourth or fifth craziest song title on the project

"eddie murphy golden child hat" made me lol

this one by trapland pat has been stuck in my head for a week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7DAzti-cuA

really liking the new mixtape by enchanting, atlanta rapper signed to gucci's new 1017 records. can't get enough of her hushed delivery and tho there may be a few too many guests, she has good chemistry with all of them. a few highlights

"kater to me" (prod. by hitkidd, who did "f.n.f.")

"track and field" ft. kali (been out for a while, but it's still great)

"o.p.p." ft. jdot breezy & whoppa wit da choppa

reminds me i need to start a seji oda thread

yah that’s good. love the mall money song, and wish luh tyler had more music out there

speaking of trayle, he just dropped a vid for "craxk flow"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tl9NxULyQ0

I just love listening to AZ rap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7NOuzMGVc

been loving the new lil poppa tape, some smart and deeply felt melodic street music to fill the polo g-shaped hole in my listening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4VXdwcX-d0

d40 to thread

Lil poppa and slo-be have probably the most underrated albums of the year

checking out lil poppa, really great so far

https://soundcloud.com/bandmanrill/sets/unrealeased-pt2

bandmanrill threw up a bunch of loosies on soundcloud and i'm enjoying this way more than his project. it's slanted for more towards club music than drill which just aligns w/ my taste also there's some songs on here that have samples they obv could not clear

luh tyler - back flippin prob one of the best rap songs of the year & looks like it might blow up in a real way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNcKvADGx1U

loved "i gotta slide" from earlier this year, but that was just a sketch compared to this one. def feels like he has a flow that everyone will be jacking soon enough

still love "i gotta slide," though, every line on that one is gold

"i been kissin mary jane, she change the color of my eyes"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO9zxqHD6o

"fat racks" is my fav

late year discovery - this Jay Worthy/Larry June collab tape is super fun old school west coast electro vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOtzylKyQsw

i liked that album a lot

new luh tyler for christmas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XWLNek3Uwo

struggling to think of a new thread title that includes a references to obvious sample flips and jersey club, and includes the word "sturdy"

maybe that's too east coast focused idk

rolling high bpms

that includes ie 'dump it dummy,' milwaukee stuff, west coast stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-i1VS09r0Y

def a trend but maybe generic even for this thread ha

rolling regional club

generic is the point!

rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

let's do it
