Pa Salieu: Send Them to Coventry

and the closing track is so gorgeous, makes you wanna play it over

how you do editing while listening to music?

Not table, obv., but I can scarcely get any work done without music playing in the background, it's pathological. I belatedly got into metal while writing my thesis – it was just about the only thing that kept me going.

More to the point: Pa Salieu rules.

I do not do any other writing or editing to music, absent emails and such.

But for the gig I'm working? Whatever, I'm Freelance and getting paid an absurd sum to fact check references and make sure things are in their right place before they go live or to print. It is so easy and boring that if I didn't listen to music, I'd fall asleep

Also Pa Salieu rules, and 'Energy' really does make one want to go back and listen to the whole thing again

it's not complicated, if you listen to Send Them to Cov you'll get it

the more of everbody that get into this

so perfect

convo to be had about blah blah blah elsewhere

but it's spectacularly perfect

the way it balances coldness and warmth is so good

Many otm posts

The album has been growing massively on me as well. I love the dancehall influence on this, right there from futuristic Block Boy.

new song!

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

still hasn’t missed

fyi: the new Backroad Gee tape is pretty great, especially the first half

i need to give it another listen, it seemed solid but didn't really wow me?

I enjoyed the harder first half more than the (afro)poppier second for sure, but the production sounded v cool to me—otoh, I don't listen to much UK rap/grime/drill, so it's possible the better-versed won't find anything special about it—and I love hearing his voice

Late to the party but Style & Fashion is so amazing

Amapiano !

“Style & Fashion” is used in the current Zalando commercial:

Pa Salieu - Mista / Lennon Freestyle - the second beat is quite 90s, not what you'd expect from. It totally works though
