rolling rage beats 2022

now that he's major signed, the sample-heavy club style is probably less feasible over the course of a whole tape. i do hope there's some mcvertt in the mix.

im with you, he's one of the best east coast artists these days, main competition in my mind being sha ek, jenn carter, and...ice spice

*east coast drill

"girl w/ the dragon tattoo" is still one of my fav songs of the year. it seems like it got de-listed on youtube tho you can still get to the video from his page

i think "lurkin" was where he really nailed his vision for club + drill

any of you know anything about The Mellos? https://themellos7.bandcamp.com/album/mscln-dst. Saw this on some bandcamp round-up and liked it, but I don't know anything about it

ok, here are some things i've been liking a lot

new wiki album with subjxct 5 is good, but long and unwieldy. there are some fantastic moments, like this one with dj lucas. subjxct usually meets wiki where he lives in the traditional east coast space, but this one has bounce
"silent meeting"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5a62M7MfLg

damjonboi from detroit finds a middle ground between the croaky street musings of someone like boldy james with the punchline heavy approach of the shittyboyz and babytron
"top shelf"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwAF9mJ2C1A

joony is one of my favorite rappers in his lane, great taste in instrumentals, easygoing melodies that seem to tumble out of him
"21"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NfdH8Fn8_w

"drifting in tokyo" (came out a few months ago, has become a bit of an underground hit)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asoGR26VWlI

youngboy's 3800 degrees is his best project in a very very long time. it came out two weeks ago and he's already released another project since lol. only one has mouse on da track tho

last one for now. still working my way thru the new 1017 compilation, and it's pretty astounding how gucci has remained such an excellent discoverer of talent. i love enchanting, and her whispery flow, wish she'd release more music. she sounds fantastic over that old "photoshoot" beat!

eagerly awaiting the ceo trayle album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W40KAKQulDc

"girl w/ the dragon tattoo"

rev's "girl with the drag-on tattoo" is one of my all-time ILX display names

New EP from one of my favorite rappers (check the emo-punk closing track)

https://open.spotify.com/album/087U0DnHQF2I4HFG7OI1Gx?si=h6HAWSO5SfS6PN9lguf8kQ

new albums from bandmanrill, duke deuce, smino, and babytron out today. suck on that shit, c@rl ch3ry

haven't checked out any of the new smino stuff but looking forward to that one

bandman album is pretty good, tho the previously-released songs are the highlights.

i guess that original "who you touch" sample is never gonna get cleared. thank god for youtube

Really loving the Smino album (and the continued presence of Monte Booker is a huge part of that)

been slacking on boring street rap and dead-end backpacker posts, digging ja'king the divine a lot

smino alb is one of my favorites of the year. he's just the smoothest mf in the game!

thanks for the reminder, been meaning to check that out

love this, doesn't quite live up to the song title but what could, reminds me of busta in the chorus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pS7jGd3l9U

love $ilkmoney, had no idea he was back. and with a whole new project nonetheless!

looking through the new tracklist and that’s probably only the fourth or fifth craziest song title on the project

"eddie murphy golden child hat" made me lol

this one by trapland pat has been stuck in my head for a week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7DAzti-cuA

really liking the new mixtape by enchanting, atlanta rapper signed to gucci's new 1017 records. can't get enough of her hushed delivery and tho there may be a few too many guests, she has good chemistry with all of them. a few highlights

"kater to me" (prod. by hitkidd, who did "f.n.f.")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrXjox0eF10

"track and field" ft. kali (been out for a while, but it's still great)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVZSn_XRr3U

"o.p.p." ft. jdot breezy & whoppa wit da choppa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsnk_u6E1BE

been blasting out the CEO Trayle album all afternoon, it's good!

yeah it's legit

this one is my current fav

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N05nGNxetXo

gr8 mix by deej on nts

https://www.nts.live/shows/new-york-naomi/episodes/new-york-naomi-12th-november-2022

reminds me i need to start a seji oda thread

yah that’s good. love the mall money song, and wish luh tyler had more music out there

speaking of trayle, he just dropped a vid for "craxk flow"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tl9NxULyQ0

I just love listening to AZ rap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7NOuzMGVc

been loving the new lil poppa tape, some smart and deeply felt melodic street music to fill the polo g-shaped hole in my listening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4VXdwcX-d0

d40 to thread

Lil poppa and slo-be have probably the most underrated albums of the year

checking out lil poppa, really great so far

https://soundcloud.com/bandmanrill/sets/unrealeased-pt2

bandmanrill threw up a bunch of loosies on soundcloud and i'm enjoying this way more than his project. it's slanted for more towards club music than drill which just aligns w/ my taste also there's some songs on here that have samples they obv could not clear

luh tyler - back flippin prob one of the best rap songs of the year & looks like it might blow up in a real way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNcKvADGx1U

loved "i gotta slide" from earlier this year, but that was just a sketch compared to this one. def feels like he has a flow that everyone will be jacking soon enough

still love "i gotta slide," though, every line on that one is gold

"i been kissin mary jane, she change the color of my eyes"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO9zxqHD6o

"fat racks" is my fav

late year discovery - this Jay Worthy/Larry June collab tape is super fun old school west coast electro vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOtzylKyQsw

i liked that album a lot

new luh tyler for christmas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XWLNek3Uwo

struggling to think of a new thread title that includes a references to obvious sample flips and jersey club, and includes the word "sturdy"

maybe that's too east coast focused idk

rolling high bpms

that includes ie 'dump it dummy,' milwaukee stuff, west coast stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-i1VS09r0Y

def a trend but maybe generic even for this thread ha

rolling regional club

generic is the point!

rolling get sturdy high bpms 2023

let's do it
