rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

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

all time detroit classic

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

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

new trayle album is unsurprisingly really good, production went up a level imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDLwEJdv2Bk

for those who liked the defcee x boathouse album from last year, defcee has a new project out as defprez, a trio with rapper crashprez and producer knowthetime. very high-level rapping throughout. here's one that samples "midnite cruiser" by steely dan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP0-lWrT_l4

oh nice. that defcee x boathouse record was fun

been digging che noir, love the beat on this one w/ 7xvethegenius

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVR-Ra9Jyjc

more good Defcee action

https://spectacular-diagnostics.bandcamp.com/track/class-ft-curly-castro-illogic-defcee

i've liked che noir in the past but thought her new album leaned too hard on criticizing/scolding other women rappers

yeah i could see that, sanctimony is always a hazard in backpacker stuff

new Gabe 'Nandez with some old Neptunes type vibes

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

i'm convinced lay bankz is gonna be a superstar, how hard is this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNtWif6xayg

new shawny binladen mixtape might be my favorite one of his yet, beta selection is top tier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgjWD7a5pUc

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on9LFLxhmZg

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPsQA6YRcxw
