rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

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

Marcus Moore in ew York Times re jazz-rapper Cisco Swank

want to thank sislafami for posting about karrahboo on twitter, i am obsessed. love te contast between her blasé delivery and the souped-up enrgy/flint-style 808s

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

*the contrast

she's great

new boldy collab ep with canadian producer chanhays is unsurprisingly really good. my fav is "i tried," complete with references to obscure football players, random detroit satellite cities, and some casually poignant lines over a beautiful guitar sample (and maybe the same vocal sample from kanye's "mercy"?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymbLnnXVQR0

new babyfxce e song is rly dope, this is my fav stuff out of michigan putting veeze & rio aside

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1JbOw013QQ

yeah i'm continually pretty impressed with him. "september 17" is still one of my favorite songs of the year

speaking of veeze, apparently his mixtape is actually finally coming out on wednesday

(when i met babyfxce he played me a bunch of unreleased that was pretty incredible i thought, he has a great ear for beats)

“jersey luv” is getting run thru tik tok again, i really like this idea of making brent faiyaz club music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT6VDEoCBWM

wtf is going on with killah priest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpCNRs8Cago

certified trapper - 50 on 6

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWF9Qv-aHw

love the sexxy red album

i can’t say his name…cause he be cheatin

Lol Killah Priest is such a nut

veeze album's good as hell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXeO4gxX7-o

he's really rapping his ass off

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3POkgcrr5RE

this sha ek song is one of my fav of his in a while. that voice really jumps out of the speakers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvvozMFA5ZY

I dont love that

Chr#s Richards in Washington Post calls Veeze best rap album of year so far

Sometimes his mumbling approach sounds like it; other times it’s cliche . I dunno

sure but on "overseasballer," he says "my stash is colored, i edible arrangement the money"

r1ch4rds writing about veeze sounds really awful, gonna skip that one...

It is aoty tho.

oh yeah it’s a great record. i can’t stop playing “weekend”

I haven't had the chance to spend much time with it yet, but "cliche" seems like an odd criticism?

Some conventional rapper word choices by Veeze ( the obligatory n and p words plus d word and more . Some conventional beats . But yeah he’s distinctive and unique in his flow and sound on a lot )

wait… d word?

as in get off my d? lol

yes!

I can deal with all of that (although would prefer to never hear it again as old man me has been hearing that on rap records for decades) but the minute I put the album on in front of my wife or others, those are the first words that jump out at them

make rappers call people suckas again

ah ok fair enough, I'm familiar with that dilemma lol

mentioned a couple rap songs in the "11 fav songs of the moment" thread, might as well post them here too

kenzo b - "bffr," which is an irresistible throwback along the lines of "lip gloss" mixed with "1 thing"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpdfKEqTqZE

that mexican ot - "barrio" ft. lefty sm, a bilingual banger that borrows a lot from regional mexican music (including the waltz time!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k0nwpoBNXo

earl sweatshirt - "making the band (danity kane)," produced by evilgiane who did the kendrick/keem jersey club track. earl hasn't been this lively in a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjhTvsLesLo

the kenzo song is quite fun

make rappers call people suckas again

rappers have been saying d lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5c3p7H0iw8

not the d-word!

speaking of that mexican ot, his "from the ranch" version of "johnny dang" is making its rounds on twitter. the man is outrageously charismatic, with those rolled r's. original song has a great paul wall verse.

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

really like this beat
