The good folks from EMRLD stopped dP in the streets of downtown Brooklyn to talk about fashion and what makes the greatest impact when dealing with style.
Originality.
For letting Timberland and Stussy come together to make this deluxe Field Boot. Premium leather, official metal hardware, a gum outsole and a leather interior lining make these field boots the best I ever had.
Music by The Doppelgangaz
The latest project from my favorite Trip-Trap Rap troop is titled HARK!. The Doppelgangaz are right back to doing what they do best which is creating dope ass beats and rhymes filled with psychoactive prescription pill invectives.
HARK! is a more polished presentation than their previous full length CD ‘Lone Sharks’ but they don’t lose their sense of grit with the advancing sense of marketing. The Dopp can’t jump the shark since they ARE the shark.
I’ve been letting this track fill my earholes for the better part of a week. I think it codifies what the Doppelgangaz represents sonically even tho’ its only an instrumental track. This song reaffirms my love for rap music. It reminds me of how playful the beats can be yet still remain hard and resolute.
If you aren’t already tuned in to the Doppelgangaz music open up their Soundcloud page and dive in. I pray they are the future for Hip-Hop, not just rap, but Hip-Hop, you know the culture and shit.
STS aka Sugar Tongue Slim takes us back to his slick talk roots on this track from alt-wave rockers Joywave.
Remember Meyhem Lauren’s ‘Ray Lewis’? This ain’t that, but it’s still fresh.
STS has a new mixtape out pretty much in this chamber of alt-wave EDM soundscapes. He’s titled it ‘Gold Rush3’ but it isn’t sounding like the previous Gold Rush releases.
Maybe STS is rapping the same, but for some reason I can hear him better now. Crazy how that works. Take a listen and tell me what you think.
