SYNTH [Sh!t You Need To Hear] Vol. I

Will henceforth be comprised of loosies, scraps, and audios of interest. With the coldest commentaries (of course).

 

This beat sounds like the interior of a white Range Rover. *googles interior of a Range Rover* Really, I just picture Tony Williams in a white suit, crooning to a group of wealthy art gallery patrons… And then Freddie Gibbs dropping through the ceiling and robbing everyone. Kanye’s verse isn’t spectacular, but the beat is so fresh it doesn’t matter.

 

 

This sounds like LA in 2025. Really love the production. Some pretty standard low-level-drug-dealer raps. Schoolboy Q’s strengths lie in his personality, flow, and delivery, so the lack of content isn’t unexpected. Another strong submission in his role as Trap Wild Man to Kendrick Lamar’s Calculating Wordsmith. That hook is annoying as f!ck.

 

 

This is for casually ghost riding the whip, post foliage consumption. Sir Michael Rocks probably runs a disreputable jazz club situated close to a body of water (for expedited getaway purposes). That’s just how I feel. Could be false.

 

 

Kachinas-break-dancin’-on-the-avenue-flow. This sounds like the soundtrack to Incan Mardi Gras. Mos Def doesn’t even have to rap and it’s better than 90% of what’s out there today. Put Jay Electronica on the remix and break the Internet.

Royalty Raps

Only half way through listening to this, but it’s what we’ve come to expect from KRIT– Dense soundscapes, competent flows, and rapping about rapping. 2/3 ain’t bad. There are just enough metaphors, allusions and generalized journey raps in here to make this an iPod staple. Click the art for a download link.

Standout thus far is “King Without A Crown”:
