Songs of the Summer 2019

thanks for that rec Moka! that whole album is dope. Can't find a lot of info on the band though xp

Yeah I had to write them for more info and for a release date on any physical formats as there’s almost no info on them atm. They just replied to keep my eyes on their social media... which is limited to instagram I think?

Equiknoxx - Manchester ft Fox & Brent Bird

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaxpYnPbx6g

Schacke - Kisloty People

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

"Kisloty People, where is your past?
Kisloty People, how long will you last?"

damn no one posts rap music in here unless its from London

Ambjaay - Uno
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_M1UoraeFw

I feel like YG's "Go Loko" (which feels like a blatant conceptual rip-off of this) manages to be more "effective" and less creatively successful at once

Duke Deuce - Yeh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWJNTJ_FLj4

Duke Deuce is bringing that crunk energy back w/ a ton of personality, personally very into

T9ine - Mind of a Real
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFyPuglJh6s

more relaxed summer anthem, they deleted the original upload of this which had way more streams but its been growing steadily over the past couple months

Yeh is thee summer anthem no doubt

I probably could post Pop Smoke also cuz I'm sure a lot of ilxors will like it w/ its britishes bassline but personally i think the song is just ok & apt to be overrated for pandering to that

This song technically came out last year but the remix has 220 mil streams on YouTube in the past 5 months & will be on my personal list

As far as Chicago street records go this has a shot at being a big record this summer as well:

the last two are

Dalex - Pa Mi (Remix) ft. Sech, Rafa Pabön, Cazzu, Feid, Khea and Lenny Tavarez

&

Prince Glo & Jackboi Boomain - Glockies

I also know this isn't a cool artist to be into but I think "Fast" is quite a good song:

I hear the Soulwax mix of Work It everywhere I go just now

this one is low-key, but still summer-y imo

Jamila Woods singing "shut up motherfucker" is my song of this summer

lol that post wasn't quite so trench in my head, so here's Burna Boy's "Anybody" to make up for it:

and Chronic Law "Hillside":

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

(skip to 1:51)

yeah 'anybody' is as good as anything burna has done

I am unreasonably excited for his new album

He also has a (solo!) track on the Beyoncé/Lion King album that’s coming out tomorrow.

oh and rob, I added Jamila’s “MILES” to the playlist.

ha nice, I do like acknowledging that summer can also mean hot/humid/pissed off

There's a lot of potential in that Lion King tracklist, but I listened to most of "Spirit" this morning and uh, it sucks, no? I never like Beyonce in that mode though

miles is good but my jamila song of the summer is basquiat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XezEKGO7Tys

“Spirit” is from the movie soundtrack itself and doubles on the *other* album, the one that she has “curated”, so it will hopefully be an outlier there.

xp of course

Someone sent me this on Twitter, quite enjoying even tho its not much of an alteration from the original sample:

Not sure what there is to dislike about “sizzling”

this random Willow song from 3-4 years ago blew up on TikTok in June and I feel like a couple million kids will strongly associate it with this summer
