Unloading some incredible tracks with a red thread of simple but deadly basslines.
Big Boi ft Killer Mike and Jeezy - Kill Jill
Big Boi and Killer Mike on the same track has been a recipe for greatness for 17 years now, and the new single from the former is no exception. I could kinda do without Jeezy, but that otherworldly Hatsune Miko sample makes up for that easily.
TV On The Radio - Golden Age
Can't believe this modern classic hasn't been on a list yet, and of course it's ironic to include it a day after Trump betrayed the planet, but hey, let's hope a golden age is coming 'round!Give it up 'stead of grabbing for decay
What we viewed as gold I believe pollutes this space
And its grace ascending
Like a snake up your tree
Bootsy Collins - I'd Rather Be With You
Sleazy and irresistible. Those massive farts of bassnotes, and then that super-weird/-pervy outro chat. Plus handclaps. Brilliant.
Schoolboy Q ft. The Dogg Pound - Big Body
Continuing on an almost identical recipe: sex-crazed lyrics and 3-4 notes of ridiculously fantastic bass sounds.
Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE.
I wanna go to a party where we all dance to this. Soon. Again, it's the simple details that does it. If you don't rock to that piano riff, I don't know what you're made of.
