For those heads that are a bit older, there was a time when your music didn’t come digitally. You were given several formats to choose from… CD/vinyl/cassette… Occasionally, you’d get that music in the style of a single… one or two songs representing upcoming work from that artist. I still keep shoeboxes full of those cassette singles and CD singles, and you know my crates are full of 12″s… Those singles were a way for a broke kid to get a taste of the power and the feeling of empowerment that hip hop music could provide.
Mr. Elles recently hipped me to two new tracks produced by @Delano Taylor, and let me tell you, they fit that old school, hard hitting formula to a “T”. About a week ago, he hipped me to “The Best Part”, a sentimental jam about being thankful for the loving experience, regardless of how it turns out, because you may just learn something about yourself.
Today, he hit me with “Flop House”, which would make the perfect b-side to the a-side feel of “The Best Part”. It’s raw… a day in the life of… a walk in his shoes.
If this is an example of the new project, I’m very much looking forward to it.
