some songs i've liked recently
scy jimm - "last days." jimm feels to me like north florida's answer to g herbo, in the way he gruffly articulates raw emotion (and for his loose relationship with the beat lol)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bis2wEf2Fh0
the real g herbo is still out there doing things. my fav from his new mixtape is "feel this" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7XkrOEl9fY
sleazyworld go - "off the court" ft. polo g. great no auto polo verse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QULO9wy5E9M
sme taxfree - "ridiculous" ft. mariboy mula mar. my recent milwaukee jam of choicehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4XhdmhFwjk
paco panama x ot7quanny - "high balance"; if los and nutty formed a trio, paco would be the third guyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMzYomxmbYo
fwc big key - "flamed up"; blistering detroit posse cut (a diss aimed at a different detroit posse)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M156pOrRCdA
daemoney, lucki & money muzik - "who is that?" ft. babyface ray & veeze. somnolent, mostly-detroit posse cut (not the guys fwc big key is mad at)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWg7WlVzjI
joony - "jagged edge"; laid back and engaginghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GWqVOvUUGI

new wiardon tape, called 'road music,' goes hard. he's got a great laid-back presence behind the mic, and he's grown into an incredible producer. love "chest out" with its herky-jerk guitar sample combined with the propulsive detroit-style drums, and "trackhawk," which is from the "regulate" school of smoky late night funk.

"trackhawk"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtUgf-FQFeI

couple really good loe shimmy guest spots, recently.
from last week's kodak album, "get away." really more of a loe shimmy song on a kodak albumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMUGNhg2kMU
and "5 hour layover" on the new trapland pathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK-h2NkOaIU

daboii, formerly of sob x rbe, teamed with oakland production crew the mekanix for a mob throwback. very satisfying, even the clumsy, funkdafied "billie jean" interpolation lol
this ("up up") was my fav at first blushhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICDLmXg7py8
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 6 June 2023 14:36 (ten months ago) link
wait that was "that hurt me," the closer. here's "up, up"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq2h2JGr5yU

new boldy collab ep with canadian producer chanhays is unsurprisingly really good. my fav is "i tried," complete with references to obscure football players, random detroit satellite cities, and some casually poignant lines over a beautiful guitar sample (and maybe the same vocal sample from kanye's "mercy"?)

new babyfxce e song is rly dope, this is my fav stuff out of michigan putting veeze & rio aside
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1JbOw013QQ
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 June 2023 16:05 (ten months ago) link
yeah i'm continually pretty impressed with him. "september 17" is still one of my favorite songs of the year
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Thursday, 22 June 2023 18:10 (ten months ago) link
speaking of veeze, apparently his mixtape is actually finally coming out on wednesday
(when i met babyfxce he played me a bunch of unreleased that was pretty incredible i thought, he has a great ear for beats)

Chr#s Richards in Washington Post calls Veeze best rap album of year so far
Sometimes his mumbling approach sounds like it; other times it’s cliche . I dunno
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 5 July 2023 15:30 (nine months ago) link
sure but on "overseasballer," he says "my stash is colored, i edible arrangement the money"
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 5 July 2023 20:43 (nine months ago) link
r1ch4rds writing about veeze sounds really awful, gonna skip that one...
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 July 2023 20:57 (nine months ago) link
It is aoty tho.
― ANU (sisilafami), Friday, 7 July 2023 10:04 (nine months ago) link
oh yeah it’s a great record. i can’t stop playing “weekend”
― J0rdan S., Friday, 7 July 2023 14:39 (nine months ago) link
I haven't had the chance to spend much time with it yet, but "cliche" seems like an odd criticism?
― rob, Friday, 7 July 2023 14:56 (nine months ago) link
Some conventional rapper word choices by Veeze ( the obligatory n and p words plus d word and more . Some conventional beats . But yeah he’s distinctive and unique in his flow and sound on a lot )
― curmudgeon, Friday, 7 July 2023 16:34 (nine months ago) link
wait… d word?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 7 July 2023 16:38 (nine months ago) link
as in get off my d? lol
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Friday, 7 July 2023 17:04 (nine months ago) link
yes!
― curmudgeon, Friday, 7 July 2023 17:14 (nine months ago) link
I can deal with all of that (although would prefer to never hear it again as old man me has been hearing that on rap records for decades) but the minute I put the album on in front of my wife or others, those are the first words that jump out at them
― curmudgeon, Friday, 7 July 2023 17:17 (nine months ago) link
make rappers call people suckas again

mentioned a couple rap songs in the "11 fav songs of the moment" thread, might as well post them here too
kenzo b - "bffr," which is an irresistible throwback along the lines of "lip gloss" mixed with "1 thing"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpdfKEqTqZE
that mexican ot - "barrio" ft. lefty sm, a bilingual banger that borrows a lot from regional mexican music (including the waltz time!)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k0nwpoBNXo
earl sweatshirt - "making the band (danity kane)," produced by evilgiane who did the kendrick/keem jersey club track. earl hasn't been this lively in a whilehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjhTvsLesLo

speaking of that mexican ot, his "from the ranch" version of "johnny dang" is making its rounds on twitter. the man is outrageously charismatic, with those rolled r's. original song has a great paul wall verse.
