rolling offbeat drip 2019

New Tree album, WE Grown NOW., is awful good.

Zed Kenzo's ep is out today and it's great:

the new billy woods album is really really good

This is some quality avant-backpacker shit.

Tree singing is so raw

I really only want to hear avant-backpacker shit if Kenny Segal is producing.

ambjaay is good

i love this new your old droog/doom/mach hommy song, such a classic old doom vibe on the beat

Ambjaay is super fun!

nwe shy glizzy is heart-wrenching and melodic, though unlikely to give him the hit that he wants so badly. here's "volcano," my favorite track from the project.

i like how xanman sounds like a hemiola teen rap rick ross

Nobody's mentioned the Quelle Chris album yet! I'm listening now and it's great. What gives, ILX?

i've been meaning to listen, i will get to it this weekend.

in the meantime, the pivot gang album is a fantastic low-stakes hangout record. liberated from concept and the pressure to make a statement, they just shit talk, which suits them just fine.

thanks VC, that Pivot Gang album is good so far

the queen key album that leaked is great

sisi can i get a link?

Pivot Gang is totally cool

yeah chiming in on Pivot Gang

just feels like really free....non unambitious but just not weighed down by something it's "supposed to be" like just a bunch of crew hanging and rapping over some chill beats...really fun and infectious feeling, not labored

just fyi

bandgang masoe tape is rock-solid detroit shit, but whoever uploaded to spotify fucked up several times lol. songs cut off before they're done, and the first track has like 2 minutes of dead air appended onto the end

Liking the avant-hiphop beats on Abdu Ali from Baltimore album Fyah!!. Hiphop w/ Baltimore club & a few out there jazz sax solos plus a bit of rock and more

totally mystified by this, but im kinda thinking it's genius

all in favor of weirder hip hop in 2019 and beyond

new YG is not great, barring a couple highlights

I didn't know I wanted a dungeon synth/hip hop crossover, and yet here we are:

for the first six or so tracks it feels like it's gonna be the best album of the year, but then it falls off a cliff.

gerald's verse is surprisingly strong though

the new Denzel Curry is more enjoyable than last year's. starting to actually miss bloated 80-minute rap records tho, they're all so short now!

I’m professionally biased but I’m kind of obsessed w “soapy anthem” what y’all think

https://youtu.be/UlMls98X3l0

It’s pretty funny.

Enjoy it, but 90 seconds is the perfect length for that song

Agreed about the Denzel Curry, CAROLMART makes me miss Trick Daddy

oh yeah, that's dope as fuck

Loving Denzel Curry, this is a great album

agreed. spent some time last night blazed as fuck at the Metropolitan Museum listening to it; highly recommended combo.

polo G tape bumps

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

i sewed the block together like a seamstress
and i lived to rap about it on some preme shit

seen a few people call the lonnie bands album aotysf, justifiably so imo

as well

i've been racking my brain trying to figure out who polo reminds me of, and i've decided that he reminds me of early-period wiz khalifa. not a bad thing. especially since polo is an expressive and honest lyricist and doesn't exclusively rap about how he and his friends love to get high.

rap thread, help me: is DaBaby cool or is he not cool

i vote cool

also what is happening on this T-shirt? https://shopbilliondollarbaby.com/collections/im-da-truth/products/im-da-truth-tee

Dababy is very cool.

alpine: let desus and mero chop it up for you

hey they still do this
https://www.xxlmag.com/freshman
if you're curious: dababy, megan thee stallion, ybn cordae, rico nasty, gunna, comethazine, lil mosey, tierra whack, roddy rich, blueface, yk osiris

wait wait wait ... so DaBaby and some other rapper staged a beatdown in a Louis Vuitton in hopes that the video would go viral and help ... both? ... their careers?
