It's time for a Sunday kitchen party, and here are the five bangers I've lined up for us to bob our heads to.
Erykah Badu - Danger
Quite often I reminisce about Erykah Badu's gig at Way Out West last year. One of the best in a long time.
Tyler, The Creator - I Ain't Got Time
I'm not the first to note that the experience of time is taking strange turns during this pandemic. My four-day weekends go by like gusts of wind, and I always end up feeling like I didn't get to the stuff I meant to do, even though I should logically have more time than ever, seeing as my calendar is virtually empty. But I've always got time for Tyler's inventive productions.
A$AP Rocky ft. Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson & Big K.R.I.T. - 1Train
A behemoth of all-star posse cuts. The transition between each rapper is thrilling, but the moment Danny Brown jumps in is my favourite. I don't know what it is about his voice and flow that just gets me pumped every time I hear him...
Non Prophets - Damage
A blast from the past. I used to listen to a lot of Sage Francis back in the day. Saw him live some time in the early 00's. It was just him, a CD-player and furious non-conformist energy, best summed up in the immortal line:
I go to Fugazi shows requesting Minor Threat songs
Run The Jewels - Yankee and the Brave (ep. 4)
What brought this rap party on, you might ask? Why, Run the Jewels announced that RTJ4 will be released on June 5! That's less than two weeks away. I have pre-ordered what will undoubtedly be the album of the year, and if you're reading this, so should you.
