10/24 - Sometimes Life Bends In The Middle

I am so sorry, my dear, forsaken music blog! The second half of the summer got swallowed up in mental health issues, art insecurities and ambitions, work, and other distractions. But I did listen to music too, and I will come back to making playlists, because it grounds me. Here, some rhymes to inspire, as I make preparations to return to Germany in a week, to set up an exhibition.

 

 

MF DOOM ft. MF Grimm & The Herbaliser - It Ain't Nutthin'        

When losing your footing, always go back to DOOM. Good rule for life.

Aesop Rock - Bracket Basher

Another classic from way back when by the MC with the largest vocabulary of them all.

 

 

Noname ft. Jay Electronica & Eryn Allen Kane - balloons   

This album is so good. Noname does everything right. Good politics, good poetics, good music.

 

 

Danny Brown ft. Bruiser Wolf - Y.B.P.   

Danny Brown is maturing like a fine wine.

Beyoncé ft. Dolly Parton - TYRANT

Features on every track this time around, but as usual Beyoncé takes it to an extreme by a 'ft. Dolly Parton'. I'm not totally wooed by Cowboy Carter yet, but some tracks pop.
