Truth be told, even after all this time, it still actually trips me out that hip-hop industry stalwarts & veterans like Felli Fel (and frankly, Lil Jon!) would make unabashed EDM club records like this but real talk, for many of them, they’d be out of work or playing for handfuls of poeple if they didn’t make that pivot.

Second premiere of the week after the DJ Emkay remix of Fetty Wap‘s “RGF Island” this past Tuesday??! The Kitchen got its swagger back! Check out this traptastic, hip-hop flavored original track by the west coast-based duo, Neza x Alxndr. Peep the full bio:
NEZA x ALXNDR are 2 musicians based in LA making hip-hop influenced with trap & electronic music. NEZA was born in Rwanda & transplanted to the Midwest as a kid. Alex was born in Pennsylvania but grew up traveling and living in Asia/Europe. Mutual friends introduced them & this track, “He’s So Drunk!” is the end product of that introduction. The guys cite many influences including Rustie, Shlomo, Skepta & Kanye West to name a few.
If this track is any indication, expect more great music from them in the future.

I won’t lie, I try to listen to everything sent to me but don’t always succeed, not by a long shot. But this PR entreaty was funny and intriguing enough to hit play on the music that came with it straight away:
I hope this email reaches you well. My name is Dumplings én China, and I’m almost 100% sure that you’ve missed every email I sent. My guess is your inbox gets cluttered with well to do rappers, mediocre indie bands and the occasional PornHub notification. WELL……here’s where the buck stops. Me, that’s right, the head honcho, the new guy, the afternoon spritz, the link you wish you bookmarked. If by chance you actually opened this email, I highly recommend you visit the links. Not for my sake but for music’s sake.
And you know what? Homeboy was right. This is some of the freshest hip-hop I’ve heard in a while. I only posted the one track from the Your Motha 3 track EP by Dumplings én China here but wanna hear the whole thing? CLICK HERE.
