Happy Monday all! Please enjoy songs from a new rock band, UV-TV, some smooth rap tracks from the one and only, the decades-long prolific Curren$y, another good song that sounds just like all their other stuff by Lord Huron, a new rapper, Anoyd, I’ve recently discovered that has some bars man, a Post Malone-type ballad by Always Never, and even a little R&B by Jorja Smith.
That’s all I got! Have a great week.
If this first track isn’t the party rap anthem off the year, I don’t know what is. This song is amazing, and it’s got some rappers I love like Big K.R.I.T and Curren$y and a new one I’ve gotten into recently, Smoke DZA (who appears again on this mixtape with Joey Bada$$ in “The Mood”).
Really digging this new The Neighbourhood album. I will continue to put tracks from their album on upcoming mixtapes. Their sound shifts a bunch, so it’s hard to even tell it’s the same artist. See if you can spot it next week!
Shout out to Sean C. for letting me know Roosevelt released some new stuff. Hopefully, that means an album is around the corner!
If you haven’t heard of or heard IDLES before, be prepared. They are raucous. Their live shows are raucous. It’s a rowdy bunch, and their lead singer REALLY gives it his all in live shows, you should just check them out on YouTube if you’re digging what they’re spinning.
Fleet Foxes released their fourth album a week ago!! I have been digesting it constantly. On first blush, it is a really, really good album. It’s not as good as Helplessness Blues, my favorite of theirs, and it probably can’t overtake their debut album, but it’s still a really solid album. Robin Pecknold’s vocals are in the stratosphere, I think he’s such a talent, a dark soul trying to come to some light through his music. Couldn’t imagine any other voice of Fleet Foxes (though spoiler, he lets someone he met from his time at school in Oxford sing the beginning of the first track).
I’ll be putting much more from this album on future mixtapes.
Happy Monday. Go make something of yourself.
