Was listening to this new Brent Faiyaz, and I just had a thought.. man there are few songs like GoldLink's Crew.

Even though they're all DMV artists, they sound so different from one another, yet all of them sound PERFECT for that beat in their own, different ways. Often with features you get the sense that one person fits a bit better, but everyone pulled their weight on this beat.

goddamn is every song, old or new, a tik tok meme now or what


Yeah Crew never gets old, is immediately danceable, earworm heavy, and simply awesome. I enjoy Goldlink's music a bunch, even though he got a tad more generic on his last album. However, Crew is simply a different beast. I cannot see him beating that.

Definitely. I think often his albums can be a mixed bag, but when he hits, he hits. And Crew is probably the apex of that.

Glizzy fucking snapped on Crew, as did everyone but I always lose it at that part.
Impossible not to sing along.

Absolutely fire and creative performance. Damn, I didn't know he played Piano too.

I was way too late to Psychodrama. Dave is special.

Damn, I'm speechless. The track is beautiful, but those visuals are fucking insane.

I've been nerding over this billy woods song "Windhoek" the first aspect that comes to mind is how the song sounds like a Kingdom Hearts dungeon over drums. The second aspect is billy woods' very usual way of being non-descriptive about what he's talking about and assuming that the listener always knows or doesn't really care because it sounds good. Mach-Hommy on this song solidifies himself as a rapper who can rap on anything and can easily draw in the listener based on his random outbursts of French or references to obscure shit sporadically. Then he'll say some regular street shit, but Mach-Hommy's street shit hits differently than a lot of other rappers because the lyrical lenses that he uses, illustrates him as more of a complete holistic rapper who can rap about many different topics instead of just having "a thing" that he normally does.




So the last aspect of this song that gets me is billy woods' last verse on this song where he kind of blacks out, and once again, he kind of reminds me of Aesop Rock sometimes where he'll spit some really fucking hard shit and then the next two bars have some very "historical and cryptic meaning", that's not really worth deciphering because really, only billy woods know's what his metaphors are supposed to mean. Luckily, a lot of people who have listened to woods a lot drew some meaning behind this last verse, and apparently the title of the song "Windhoek" is a city in South Africa which is a frequent topic of woods' lyrics.

And of course the rhyme scheme on this with "on" sound or "ain" sound.

His manager posted their address on Instagram yesterday apparently.

Pretty damn sad, he was already blowing up in NY and had so much potential. RIP

I don't pay attention to other genres as much as rap but do other genre artists really be dropping like rappers do. ODs, murders. Sheesh.
