More of that ‘New Toronto sound.’ Except Stwo is from France and Amir Obe from Detroit & Brooklyn (I believe). Still this is RIYL Drake, Weeknd, Partynextdoor, Tory Lanez, Daniel Caesar, Jazz Cartier, Roy Wood, Majid Jordan, DVSN etc. Man, WATTBA in the 6!
More new school hip-hop. Two tracks from Savage Mode, the recently released new album from ATL’s 21 Savage including one with the street’s (and club’s) current favorite, Future. Ya dig?
Is Mass Appeal Records the new home for socially conscious hip-hop with commercial appeal? Between this and that amazing Nas x Erykah Badu track, “This Bitter Land” from The Land soundtrack, it certainly seems so.
A little late on this one. Truth be told, the blog’s been in slow motion while a new generation of rappers (cf. Desiigner, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Rae Sremmurd etc.) have risen to prominence. Y’all digging the new school?
Great soulful new track by MTL producer, Dr. MaD featuring #DK11 alum and fellow son of Montreal, rapper Jai Nitai Lotus. Check it!
BTW: it’s been a little over two years since Jai shared his great “Pi (Brahma Built)” song and video for the This One Goes To Eleven… album.
