06/20 - Just To Keep Feta And Stay Dipped

Social distancing, asocial diss-dancing.



Ana Tijoux - Antifa Dance

Let's not fall into the trap of thinking national isolation and closed borders is the lesson to draw from this crisis. International cooperation and solidarity is what pandemics call for. And fighting fascism is, as always, crucial. Also let's not forget that Ana Tijoux absolutely rules.





KAYTRANADA ft. Anderson .Paak - Glowed Up

Some very good vibes in here. Sunny-days-by-the-water's-edge vibes. I feel a bit guilty saying it while the world is in dire straits, but... I'm glowed up.


The Beatnuts ft. Big Pun & Cuban Linx - Off the Books

Threw in an old school 90s cut for the infectious beat. Only later did I realise there's a Corona mention in the lyrics. Infects everything, it does.
We're night thieves, roll up on you like sleeves 
We light trees, bust these and stack cheese

Danger Doom ft. Ghostface Killah - The Mask

Cheese links this and the previous track together. And Doom and Ghostface on the same track means pure wordplay joy.
My money green like my nickname was celery


Jay Electronica ft. The-Dream - Shiny Suit Theory

Jay Electronica finally released his first album the other day and it's one of those which you know you'll keep finding new things in years from now. True complex genious stuff. This might be the most trad-hip hop track, it's got Jay-Z together with Jay-E, and you truly do get blessed with every line.
In the land before time 
A land before altar boys, synagogues, and shrines, man was in his prime 
Look how far I go in time just to start a rhyme 
The method is sublime, you get blessed with every line
