rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

that rocko song is cool... he's always been on a different wave than the rest of contemporary new york in terms of being very melodically driven. i kinda fell off of his stuff the past year or so but i've always had a real soft spot for his music

a "subdued" rmc mike is a new one lol, like ric flair on his day off

catching up on last year, why khaliq from st. paul, really dig this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpps8RKeaaQ

whoa that Girlfriend-sampling track is p wild

gloss up mixtape is fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viP5CvCvoec

yeah it's really nice

still no misses from luh tyler. tape when???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSHDfR8-DwQ

kamaiyah always does the same thing but i always like it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9uw0P68UU8

tyler the only new rapper I really like / have hope for 'at that level' rn ...

still batting 1.000 lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSQ6QZtuJ9E

it's a change of pace to rap over an icewear vezzo-type beat, instead of the smoother sounds he'd been working, but what can i say, shit is hard

to my astonishment, the Grammy award 50 years of hiphop thing was incredible

yeah it was honestly a pretty great moment. idk why they devoted so much time to busta’s “look at me now” verse, not exactly a watershed moment in the genre’s history imo

dugg and ray always sound great together

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqP7EwfbroE

all time detroit classic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQEnRh3kx0Q

wb nutty tape is funky, no nonsense, drug-dealin shit. this one reminds me of my favorite-ever los & nutty song, "i'm jus fuckin around"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N-OYBJZ0K0

the new daemoney mixtape is so good, just sounds massive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3wh4PmOx3M

good stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZopDbB0Bmkw

philly might've lost yesterday, but at least they have ot7quanny. "i woulda been smoked bishop, the fuck is wrong with quincy" lol

Defcee/Blockhead...love this

ok so this isn't exclusively a luh tyler thread, but damn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k585qIupRGc

r3 da chilliman and stoneda5th are my fav new somnambulant l.a. rappers, and they manage to convince ex-sob x rbe rapper daboii to tone down his usual hyperactivity for this one. good stuff.

Has there been Young Devyn discussion on ILM?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywi9EYLT_so

next year's thread will be 'motion music' t/f

going with “t,” which will make this even more of a luh tyler thread

late 2022 but loving $ilkMoney

bigxthaplug album rules

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMhg3sDufKg

i love unlikely samples, the bangles screwed and chopped is kinda cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrb537guqcQ

new bktherula project is good, she continues to be prob my favorite "rage rapper"

"do it again," more melodic and introspective
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBUfyq2cLWg

"pssyonft," less introspective lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P62nMNUfihk

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

scy jimm - "what you make it"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTjBdB6kqzo

Not sure if you guys are into stuff like this but it sounds dope to me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7cTtcT58RI

can't say i was expecting a phoenix interpolation on the new peezy album lol. works pretty well imo

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

really dig this (devstacks - glo up)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQOSqOX1fbs

loving this posthumous young dolph collab on the new gucci alb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A12x_9iinQM

new kp skywalka tape dropped over the weekend. he's still chasing the high of "granny house," imo, but he has settled into a nice woozily melodic groove. fun twist on the offbeat dmv sound, with strong songwriting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7qGrRwKTVk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7TlQzWeDh0

Larry June and Cardo are a great match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO1lHNz6_e8

like that Kaycyy a lot, he was from St. Paul don't know if he relocated I think he did some stuff on one of the late period Kanye records

re-posting this from the basketball board for our non basketball posting friends

nic batum from the clippers acknowledged DJ from bluebucksclan's infamous line about him ("floor seats at crypto i got my tool in / 4th quarter yelling 'why the fuck batum in?'") in his farewell letter to the team & fans after being traded

“4th quarter yelling why the fuck Batum in” pic.twitter.com/Nx0eYxkAtB

Nic Batum to Clippers fans:

“I tried to give you my best each and every night, every game (even in the fourth quarter…)”

amazing. bluebucks consistently have the best sports references, gotta think athletes are attuned to them by now

the thing that cinched my love for them was DJ referencing a rather obscure university of miami wide receiver on clan way 2

but yeah athletes love them, especially the LA ones. westbrook is always posting about them & kawhi put them on the rap album thing he did recently

bad bitches on my top 5, mel kiper jr.

lol

a funny thing about them is that we told them for legal reasons we had to stop putting songs out named after real people & they would still always send in songs named after athletes, announcers etc

“mel kiper jr” became “one good year,” “dwayne jarrett” became “don’t judge me” etc. “h grant” or whatever that one ended up being called was the final one where we like, tried to do some halfway version of the title & it just made very little sense

dwayne jarrett didn't even have one good year smh

new anycia ep out today

DewSoCozy & Tubesock Cam - "HEY MR!"

love this album so much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6dXE_LaGJM

This tubesock cam record is dope, thanks for the rec.

glad you like it! there's a really loose, fun energy going on, almost reminds me of native tongues even though these guys' vibe is different

the beats are kind of nostalgic but not distractingly so. he feels like he would be fun live.

new dj.fresh dj.fresh dj.fresh mixtape for you bay area junkies. this song is old, but i missed it earlier this year. prob my favorite on the tape, thanks to e-40's trickster demon verse lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuVXHNqGKw8

"a lot of the shit that i say ain't always true
but it's hella shit that i say that's hella true
it all depends on your point of view
the shit that's old to me might be new to you"

one e-40 always tells the truth, one e-40 always lies

lol

i like this song but mostly i'm addicted to watching this motorcycle chase footage in the video, so cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5OOY8PF-Vg

finally getting around to the sauce walka tape. high-level, no frills houston shit

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

wizz havinn album is real solid. supremely laid back, yet somehow motivational.

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

p4k alphonse posted about this juggrxch bammo x natedawg mixtape last month, triangulates the rx papi/nephew scene with flint and a$ap era harlem. bammo is cool, but the beats by natedawg are the real attraction, they're haunting, playful, and unpredictable.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV_EIoK0f-Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DQP4RYqRBs
