rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

the new rxknephew album is sounding amazing, goddamn. way better production too

here's a gd track, but it gets soooo great later on, 'critical' is vast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQN1B9wn-HQ

amazing extended rio da yung og verse on the new lil pump album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arRux-T9aKI

random, but yeah, this is great. must’ve been in the vault for a while

michigan scene in general lost a lot of momentum when rio went away smh. they need him back

pretty great no auto durk verse on glorilla's "ex's"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEwJQ5M8f5Q

been a while since i liked a tiktok rap song as much as this one (prob "munch" or sleazyworld go). a very clear keef rip, but what isn't?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FVgJwO2QNs

funny you mention keef. i can def hear that. to me it made me think of roscoe dash. it’s a pretty fun song

yeah def calls back to the "swag surfin"/roscoe dash era, notes of rae sremm in there too. production is totally indebted to young chop tho, and the "stick stick stick" part feels like something keef would've done in that era (plus the "blick...iannna" line haha)

apparently there's a Veeze album coming?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zjqY2X_2HY

^that's fantastic btw

album's been coming for 2 years now

more veeze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JroT4xzyZM

oh yeah “gomd” is excellent

the new mixtape by florida rapper mari montana (who made "superstar," one of my fav rap songs from last year) is shockingly consistent. extremely listenable, no-nonsense hustle talk. just a voice that sounds good over everything

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDzMCt8mGFE

mixtape is called 'outstanding member'

love creeping, paranoid west coast shit, "can't trust it" by rucci hits the spot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bdy03KeYHY

luh tyler album is great. some of the new ones are similar kinds of funked-up bangers that he's been putting out, but the first two tracks are mexikodro-produced plugg and cloud rap with a creepy n64-zelda-style sample

really good loe shimmy verse. and a timely shoutout to f.a.u. by trapland pat lol

I thought the beats were kinda underwhelming considering but hes great obv

the lack of “law & order” is glaring

new Larry June/Alchemist is cool

been listening to big boogie, gravelly rapper from memphis. enjoyed his new album definition of big dude. it's not all tough talk, he's got impressive range and a surprisingly effective singing voice. been walking around muttering "i'm big dude" to myself all day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65NvWGZ5AvU

new trayle album is unsurprisingly really good, production went up a level imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDLwEJdv2Bk

for those who liked the defcee x boathouse album from last year, defcee has a new project out as defprez, a trio with rapper crashprez and producer knowthetime. very high-level rapping throughout. here's one that samples "midnite cruiser" by steely dan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP0-lWrT_l4

oh nice. that defcee x boathouse record was fun

been digging che noir, love the beat on this one w/ 7xvethegenius

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVR-Ra9Jyjc

more good Defcee action

https://spectacular-diagnostics.bandcamp.com/track/class-ft-curly-castro-illogic-defcee

i've liked che noir in the past but thought her new album leaned too hard on criticizing/scolding other women rappers

yeah i could see that, sanctimony is always a hazard in backpacker stuff

new Gabe 'Nandez with some old Neptunes type vibes

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

i'm convinced lay bankz is gonna be a superstar, how hard is this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNtWif6xayg

new shawny binladen mixtape might be my favorite one of his yet, beta selection is top tier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjWD7a5pUc

*beat selection haha

The World ending for sure

we're never getting this tape lol

had a long subway ride so i listened to the whole destroy lonely album. it's overlong for sure, but i like the vibe. lone doesn't have much to say, but he's a compelling presence. wish there were a few more songs like "which way" and fewer with the fisher price guitars. i do like the guitars at times, especially on "safety (interlude)" which is great sad future cosplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRuZ-Z6N5Go

i feel very alienated from the opium scene lol

my fav song right now is "my skeleethe" which is kinda going viral

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUqI9DN_ocU

that's super fun!

i feel very alienated from the opium scene lol

destroy lonely is the only one who seems to have something going on, imo, you're not missing much

"my skeleethe" is great, hope it pops off. feel like l.a. hasn't had a proper hit since...ambjaay?

whoheem - "let's link" was after... but yeah we're talking kinda ephemeral songs. i did hear "uno" the other day and i was like, damn this song rules

"let's link" felt more tiktok-y than like a song that bubbled from the local scene. i mean, "uno" also got the tiktok bump, but it felt a lot more like a groundswell

some songs i've liked recently

scy jimm - "last days." jimm feels to me like north florida's answer to g herbo, in the way he gruffly articulates raw emotion (and for his loose relationship with the beat lol)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bis2wEf2Fh0

the real g herbo is still out there doing things. my fav from his new mixtape is "feel this"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7XkrOEl9fY

sleazyworld go - "off the court" ft. polo g. great no auto polo verse.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QULO9wy5E9M

sme taxfree - "ridiculous" ft. mariboy mula mar. my recent milwaukee jam of choice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4XhdmhFwjk

paco panama x ot7quanny - "high balance"; if los and nutty formed a trio, paco would be the third guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMzYomxmbYo

fwc big key - "flamed up"; blistering detroit posse cut (a diss aimed at a different detroit posse)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M156pOrRCdA

daemoney, lucki & money muzik - "who is that?" ft. babyface ray & veeze. somnolent, mostly-detroit posse cut (not the guys fwc big key is mad at)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWg7WlVzjI

joony - "jagged edge"; laid back and engaging
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GWqVOvUUGI

new wiardon tape, called 'road music,' goes hard. he's got a great laid-back presence behind the mic, and he's grown into an incredible producer. love "chest out" with its herky-jerk guitar sample combined with the propulsive detroit-style drums, and "trackhawk," which is from the "regulate" school of smoky late night funk.

"chest out"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93IBWqqcueA

"trackhawk"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtUgf-FQFeI

oh yeah new wiardon thanks

loved "before fajr" from the new durk album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIbIYihwIao

I like this, kind of a cool modern/classic feel hybrid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHNQkfzfyP0

couple really good loe shimmy guest spots, recently.

from last week's kodak album, "get away." really more of a loe shimmy song on a kodak album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMUGNhg2kMU

and "5 hour layover" on the new trapland pat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK-h2NkOaIU

daboii, formerly of sob x rbe, teamed with oakland production crew the mekanix for a mob throwback. very satisfying, even the clumsy, funkdafied "billie jean" interpolation lol

this ("up up") was my fav at first blush
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICDLmXg7py8

wait that was "that hurt me," the closer. here's "up, up"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq2h2JGr5yU
