Listen to the playlist here

“Sprinter” — Dave, Central Cee

Ear worm of the summer. So many good bars over a vibrant instrumental. The boys are ice skating crazy.

“Flaunt it/Cheap” — Rae Sremmurd

Absolutely love Flaunt It, sounds like something out of Hackers. Cheap is Pac-Man night club music. “I bought you bottles bitch, you don’t owe me pussy.”

“The Room”— Flying Lotus, Devin Tracy

A snake in the desert. A waterfall in reverse. Tracy’s voice is a cloud — hazy & overwhelming.

“Good News (intro)” — Mighty Bay

Way too short. Put your fit together music.

“Broke” — Topaz Jones, Elujay

Topaz really special. I’m always a sucker for intimate relationship raps and this delves into the anxiety that’s felt when you feel like you can’t financially take care of your partner.

“Sink The Seine” — of Montreal

The sea is calling. Misadventures of Flapjack ass music(complimentary)

“No More Lies” — Thundercat, Tame Impala

When the yams touch the Mac & Cheese. Or in this case, when the acid touches the shrooms.

“Ring Ring” — CHASE B, Don Toliver, Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott

If you haven’t heard this song while sipping mimosas on a rooftop; you honestly have heard this song before.

“Candy” — Pearl & the Oysters

A psilocybin daydream. Dorothy exploring Oz.

“East Side Bounce” —Banji, Spillage Village, PK Daley

A beaming victory lap. Talk you shit when life is good cos best believe niggas will talk when life is going bad.
