lots of exciting things happening at the intersection of drill and jersey/philly club these days. philly's zahsosaa has been on this tip for 4 years or so, i'm still hoping he can cross over. this one has at least crossed beyond the i-95 corridor

also really loving this new collab between bandmanrill (the biggest club rapper in newark) and asian doll, who i must admit, i did not think had this in her

the sonic assault of jersey club is not for everyone lol, but a lower key club/rap song that i've been loving recently is yk eif's "have it all": https://soundcloud.com/maddcash-entertainment/have-it-all

i love the zahsosaa song, one of my favorite singles of the year. sadly it got taken off streaming :[

yeah i noticed that. figures to happen in a genre has an uncleared sample or three

*in a genre where every song has an uncleared sample or three

I liked that Asian Doll collab, watched another vid of hers and I liked it, and then looked her up on Wikipedia— supported Trump in the 2020 election, lmfao, don't like it that much.

What’s the sample on the Zahsoosa song? Reminds me a bit of the bassline of Modjo’s Lady.

our boy veeze got on a lil baby track, maybe now he’ll get his crap together and drop a full-length!

he has two songs w/ gucci on the new 1017 comp too but i didn't think they were particularly. i like him over more idiosyncratic, detroit production. something gets a bit lost when he raps over these more standard ATL trap beats
― J0rdan S., Friday, 17 June 2022 18:32 (one year ago) link
i generally agree with that, but i really love his verse here. imma shop when i land, i gotta take no bags, each city

veeze pulled out the vintage lil reese flow on this lil baby song and i'm here for it

some recent jersey club + drill stuff i'm really into
cash cobain & chow lee - "jholiday / vacant"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9wy0jJBEs4
bandmanrill - "don't make me crash (girl with the tattoo remix)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieC0WiSCTL0
some of these beats are just amazing, i love what these guys are doing w/ samples. these feel way more tastemaker-y than a lot of what you see w/ sample drill. the bandmanrill one got pulled off youtube for an uncleared miguel (i think) sample. cash cobain one is one streaming tho so i presume they cleared those
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 23 June 2022 17:59 (one year ago) link
"don't make me crash" is so good
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Thursday, 23 June 2022 18:41 (one year ago) link
yeah it’s amazing. prob his best since “heartbroken”
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 23 June 2022 18:58 (one year ago) link
checked out the full cash cobain & chow lee project and it's maybe my fav sample drill project to date? depending on how you categorize realyoungphil.

Is it really 'drill'
― xheugy eddy (D-40), Friday, 1 July 2022 18:00 (one year ago) link
it straddles the club/ny drill line
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Friday, 1 July 2022 19:50 (one year ago) link
the "hey there delilah" rip i posted above is of a piece with cash's previous productions for bronx drill dudes (tho the sample is even more gimmicky than usual lol), but stuff like "slizzy like" is a full-on embrace of the jersey/philly thing

bandmanrill leaning a bit more towards conventional drill which prob makes sense in terms of his career longevity... but there's enough jersey club in this new one to keep me really intrigued, just feels way fresher compared to the rest of the scene
― J0rdan S., Friday, 8 July 2022 20:18 (one year ago) link
that cash cobain & chow lee project is great. the "hey there delilah" one was a major skip for me but otherwise really enjoyable
― J0rdan S., Friday, 8 July 2022 20:25 (one year ago) link
ha yes, def something worth hearing exactly once

Very out of the loop but do I hear cool and Dre all over the place now or has it always been like that?
― Heez, Sunday, 10 July 2022 01:17 (one year ago) link
i feel like it's been a while since the heyday of cool & dre. have you been hearing "hate it or love it" a lot?
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Monday, 11 July 2022 21:38 (one year ago) link
they did produce "all the way up," that was a big hit
anyway, this new rylo song is pretty great. the guitars remind me of "beautiful dreamer"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKvXEO5wTE0
oh shit, this is a rod wave beat haha
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Monday, 11 July 2022 21:39 (one year ago) link
I think it was “drop” but there’s also a song with wale the play here in the dmv

Yeah he’s hard to keep up with. He has released 4 (!!) albums just this year so far.

gonna do a dump of things i've enjoyed recently
posted this in his own thread, but chief keef's new song "chief so" is fucking massive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f36hvoQ-bCs
sha ek x pgf nuk - "we dropping": some vicious east coast meets midwest drillhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P_ZYpTrI5Y
drego & beno - "sorry we was trapping": clever, hard-hitting detroit shit ("missed my mama's birthday, sorry i was trappin")https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NdYIMu5eT4
more michigan stuff, here's icewear vezzo and key glock on the menacing ass "whatever"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIKOQjjcl_c
sideshow "salt kills snails": more off-kilter kind of michigan rap, incredible beat by beatsbysav, who is one of my fav producers these dayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNi6Q439t8w
gonna split this up into multiple posts
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 24 August 2022 15:38 (one year ago) link
maskdownmar - "creepa": not sure where maskdownmar is from, but it seems like he's one of the florida guys heavily influenced by the michigan scene a la real boston richey. i'll update if i figure it out. anyway this is firehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drIen0fgdbY
here's some memphis rap that sounds like an electro-funk version of mission impossible (called, ahem, "50 freaky bitches")https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkWdADZD0qw
this isn't as recent, but tony shhnow's "show u" has become one of my favorite songs of the yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suSUf_kOEJE
duwap kaine - "my girlfriend": the harmonies on this one are like nothing i've ever heard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HIpV87fhpw
i also surprised myself by how much i liked the new album by $uicideboy$ (this one is called "1000 blunts")https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgjTx7RVJPI
and finally, some honest to goodness rage beats! (bktherula - "forever pt. 2 (jezebel)" ft. destroylonely)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ-7rd8YgRU

i think there are people doing good work within the "rage beat" aesthetic if you go beyond the folks mentioned in that complex "underground" piece. like lucki, izaya tiji, bktherula.
