Bizzey x Ramiks • S/O naar de... ❤️

Love the sampled (?) pan flute (?) riff.

Lyrically, it references this Dutch rap classic from 2007 (providing me with an excuse to post it here):

The Opposites ft. Dio & Willie Wartaal • Dom, Lomp & Famous

Norwegian summer jam #1. When I dj'ed a party on Saturday I had to play it like six times.

Another link for the Eiffel Tower video, "Au DD", in case it had an error message

Apparently no band had ever filmed a video at the top of the tower before?

Deux Frères is pretty good from what I can understand, but the album really spends a lot of time in slow or mid-tempo. (I know that's their 'thing'.) The brooding track "À l'Ammoniaque" has a funny moment after @1:09 with a Simpsons sound effect of a crow, to either increase or undermine the serious atmosphere.

Good stuff from South Africa:

“I been noticing a lot of senior citizens out getting the milk or whatever lately, they always seem to have a solid trouser and laceless sneaker situation going on. Old people got swag.” So you see, ILMers, there's still hope.

New album by Sampa The Great, The Return

- https://sampathegreat.bandcamp.com/album/the-return

Haven't had time to process it all yet, but at least half of the 75 tracks are great

yeah, that's my experience too. she's killer live!

Should've scrapped the second half imo.

The album it’s from is two years old at this point, but this video for it is brand new and worth posting - Ghanaian rap at its best:

Akan • Aprodoo

Dutch rap crew Broederliefde, who have a happy history of
indulging in their Caboverdean roots, working together with *fucking Dotorado Pro* on their latest album:

Broederliefde • Moni Mi Suku

(I love this current timeline where African pop is becoming part of the tapestry all over the fucking place, the actual biggest story in music in 2019 if you ask me)

you've done a lotta work delivering it to this board this year; thanks!
