Yeah I’m not saying it will be that good, would be a miracle! Let’s see though. I’m with you about the last album too, my least favourite De La album by some way. Feels like being burnt by the sample clearance thing led them to make an album that wasn’t really them.
They said they’re in talks to another album with Prince Paul too. Feel like they probably regret the 20 years they were stuck in limbo now and are more determined to put out music…
New project from Underachievers, always enjoyed these two
Think that’s just social media #engagement chat
mike and starlito is a combo that i’d never really thought about but makes a lot of sense, they should do something together imo
Should be a legal requirement to have at least one feature from Don Trip or Starlito or you’re not allowed to release
This came out yesterday, was quite enjoyable. Reminds me a little of a UK Earl Sweatshirt.
got the new kool keith on, pretty good so far
also listened to this, nice little tape imo
hadn’t heard of him before, only checked it out because there’s a track called ‘rip brownsville ka’, but the whole thing is good
will check this next, really liked his other album from earlier this year
Was just listening to that. Think I prefer this new one, the one from earlier in the year was good, but also had a couple of annoying tracks I didn’t vibe with.
Enjoyed this well enough, a fresh-sounding female UK drill debut. Better than the 6.1 it got from Pitchfork, in my opinion.
Digging this a lot. Really enjoying a lot of the beats.
New JID album announced, single out now
Got five tracks into the most recent Pink Siifu and had to turn it off. Felt maximalist in the worst way, everything turned up to the last and saying nothing.
This Post Paid For By PROF$.
Enjoyed this article… Reading the book at the moment. Pretty interesting.
Think I might be more into the MIKE and Tony Seltzer stuff than Showbiz tbh. New single co-produced by Clams Casino is great… Hyped for the MIKE and Surf Gang mixtape too, he sounds great over woozy cloud rap stuff
Does anyone have a download of the bootlegged/OG version of Bulletproof Wallets? Mostly looking at @CHAIRMAN_LMAO here
I have a version that some guy on a Wu-Tang message board made years ago. I could be wrong, but I have read that a ‘proper version/bootleg’ never actually surfaced and people have made versions based on the incorrect tracklist on the CD, but even that doesn’t quite match. Anyway - here’s the one I have. But have spotted others on Soulseek.
01 The Sun
02 Never Be the Same Again
03 The Forest
04 Theodore
05 Interlude 1
06 Flowers
07 Ghost Showers
08 Maxine / The Watch
09 Walking Through the Darkness
10 Ice (Interlude)
11 Teddy (skit)
12 Jealousy (skit)
13 The Juks
14 The Hilton
15 Good Times
16 Strawberry
17 Street Chemistry
I enjoy Pinball by MIKE, but it’s definitely his weakest in the past 5/6 years. But that’s mostly because those style beats are a bit hit or miss for me. There’s a cheapness to them that I don’t like that I just can’t put my finger on. It needs a really good rapper like MIKE to make them shine and a lot of people that do rap over that style beat are normally annoying as fuck.
Thanks! Yeah I think I read a final track list was never confirmed, but I’ve heard this version is much better and I’ve always been curious
