Hip Hop

IamSu on the other hand is best enjoyed a bit high and relaxed doing something pleasant like sitting in the park watching the world go by, mellow bike rides etc. I like it, but then I would.

I just wanna chill. I just wanna smoke. Slide through the city go see my folks. I like girls that like that shit and I like girls that like that shit.

Getting hyped for love box

You going then yeah?

Yeah man, you?

Not got a ticket yet but will no doubt buy a Saturday ticket later tonight

Cool, if you can't get one I might end up with a spare should my mate drop out.

Cool, pretty sure I'll order later but will throw down first dibs in that ticket for a friend just in case. Many of you going?

If my friend drops out it's just me, we did panicked ordering of tickets this morning when I found out what the lineup was and that they were selling out fast.

I like this quite a bit. Doeman out of Houston. Mellow, maybe a bit drugged.

I can't stop listening to Kingdom by Common.

Vince Staples verse is probably my favourite of the year so far.

Busdriver's latest is pretty solid. I love that shit. Also, if you are going to have guests, you can do worse than Aesop Rock and Danny Brown I guess.

A lot of the time when I listen to Bay Area raps it is the happy druggy stuff.
Still, for all of the Souls of Mischief, Iamsu!, or hyphy shit I listen to, there is rad dark shit too.

A-Wax has a story and it is a sad one. One of those in-jail-for-years from age 16, etc. He is clearly missanthropic, sexist etc. His latest record though is on loop for me. First track is strongest imo.

For some reason he kind of reminds me of Kevin Gates.

Struggling to find any redeeming features but might just need to listen via headphones. Initially reaction is same shit, different name.
