Three 6 Mafia - Corner Man
Three 6 Mafia - On Some Chrome Feat UGK

a decade later, triple 6’s sound is down to a science. they bluntroll those drums, superrsymphonize the mix, make akon sound good, hotblasting those samples into transcendence.. singular vision. an album laden with the most riches. this is the opposite of what usually happens: veterans holding it down, honin’ their art.

(hear that crowd-surging wave deep in the mix on ‘corner man’? yeah, that’s as good as it gets).

It’s Raw

(tags off this fucking track for a reason).

Bun B - Another Soldier

another mildly disappointing rap album, what’s new. this track shines the hardest, though, with memories of pimp c and the magnanimous ridin’ dirty running through dj khalil’s wailin’ guitars and restless keys. (and yeah, i’m not implying obama is all syrup talk, per se).

Crystalline.

Dettmann & Klock - Dead Man Watches the Clock

sitting here waitin, for berghain 2 to drop.

Osborne - Fresh
Osborne - Daylight Pyjama Mix by Isolee

trying to deliver on the sparkling promise of outta sight, osborne is to house to what is this it? was to 2001. okay, not quite, and nothing here challenges the meticulous craft displayed on ’sight’, then again that’s not really his fault. heavy BUMP on that isolee remix. i strongly advise you snatch it, and do just that.
