Got up on this one from the Redemption (E.P.) by Nigerian dancehall artist, Burna Boy via the homegirl, Anupa. R.I.Y.L. the new “island sound” Drake‘s been mining recently.
Bummed I had to miss Anderson .Paak‘s appearance at Manifesto Festival last week for my cousin’s birthday (family first and his party was fantastic) but loving this new track featuring him. This is a new joint from his NxWorries collab project with Knxwledge, “Lyk Dis.” You may be familiar with their track, “Suede” which dropped around the time Paak was about to blow up from his cameos on Dr. Dre‘s Compton album but well before his own superlative, solo release, Malibu which is vying for album of the year status in my books with Rihanna‘s ANTI album right now. BTW: His appearance on Colbert with Mac Miller last week was pretty cool too.
Wiz Khalifa smartly jacks the trendy John Carpenter-inspired theme music from buzz Netflix show, Stranger Things for a track of the same name featuring J.R. Donato (who.he??). It’s actually pretty decent too.
I’m still digesting their excellent Glaciers EP but Kitchen faves, Audego (now being stylized as AUDeGO??) are back with even more new music from a forthcoming new EP to be co-released through Bad Panda records, the sublime “I Don’t Need You”:
“I Don’t Need You” is about the uncertainty that surrounds wanting to be somebody’s somebody but not wanting to give yourself up. It’s about that sometimes awful feeling in the beginning of a crush where you’re trying to be cool but really your heart is about to fall out of your chest.
I’ve been there! Trust me….
