Jai Paul // Track 3
He has all the qualities I should hate in a musician. Released one song in 2007 and got incredibly overhyped, secluded himself god knows where for five years, and then released an album without warning. Then the album is a leak of unofficial demos!
But Jai Paul breaks the mold. That one song he released in 2007 (BTSTU) is fucking TITS, as are the other two demos that trickled out over the course of the five years previously mentioned. And then the illegally leaked album is actually fantastic. FANTASTIC. This song makes me shiver.
And in the end, it’s all about the music.

J Dilla // Crushin’
Non-stop bangin’ like a Dilla instrumental.
Elite.
R.I.P. J Dilla.
Iron & Wine // Winter Prayers
Gold. I was so desperately hoping that this album would have a song or two that just hit me really hard (like every other I&W record), and it did — Winter’s Prayers. The harmonies are perfect.

Bastille // Overjoyed
Even though the “new” Bastille album had like 0% new material (actually too), I still enjoyed it. This is a brilliant track, although I wish its B-side Sleepsong made it onto the album.
Love that this song is so slow and pretty and it’s called Overjoyed.

Wrekonize feat. Rittz // Leo Getz
I’ve saved the best for last in my super-strange music day. Both Wrek and Rittz absolutely KILLED. I’ve been listening to this non-stop since Rooftops dropped. A must-listen.
Rittz… rittzyrittzrittz… we signed him too. LISTEN TO THAT MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!

Never to be forgotten. Sex anthem of forever. But mostly 2002.

Hail Mary Mallon // Table Talk
Revisiting my Aesop Rock stash, realized how super solid the HMM albums is. Rob Sonic and Aes work so well together.

Shabazz Palaces // An Echo From The Hosts That Profess Infinitum
I am on a really really huge Shabazz Palaces bender right now. Their album Black Up is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. I know I rave about every piece of music I put up here, but they’re just so amazing. What other hip hop song you know would break in the middle like this with that instrument? And what rapper would be audacious enough to go over this type of music? Outstanding.

You’re spiritually blasé, your evolution’s so passé, and at the end of every day? You corny, nigga!
