on this one right now, im digging it.
the kota was good, he worked with another producer but its still the same vibe as his stuff. if i didnt know it was another producer i would have thought it was just kota.
im not familiar with rhye, i guess things are slow enough that i can give it a try

totally missed that monch project - thanks for that
listening to the Kota now - the first volume grew on me a lot and I liked it more than his full-length last year in the end. so far this is really solid, too.
I like Rhye a lot but it's a mood for sure. Lush but understated/restrained R&B, if that makes sense... I feel like they have a major classic in them but are a bit too settled in their lane to find it...

Brewin has one of my favorite/most unique deliveries/flow
I was only able to get half way through today because of time but so far? meh.
the production is not good so far. very cheap sounding, which is unnecessary these days.
Isn't his son a producer?
So far, I've missed Herawin too **shrugs**
Like I said, I was only able to make it half way through...and I would enjoy hearing dude rap over anything....but so far I'm just underwhelmed by the production.

I've been searching out stuff exactly like this for the past year or so, but somehow haven't heard any of these tracks. (Bandcamp doesn't have the full album but it's streaming everywhere else)

I love weird 80s reissues. Especially when its strange/experimental music that uses the comforting synthesizer sounds of my 80s childhoods but in a context that's more in line with my musical tastes now. Best of both worlds.
---- I check for: Serengeti, Zeroh, Open Mike Eagle, Jeremiah Jae, Moka Only.
>Is this leading to an whole re-release of DYWM?!!!??! or is >this just a one-off?
Last year would have actually been the 25th anniversary, I think... so I don't think it's a special occasion release. I'd love a deluxe release with some extras though

I bought the sht for $40 but it has NO date on it whatsoever... I have no idea when I'll actually be able to download. I hope it isn't March, when the LPs drop. I'ma be heated. lol... this is what my excitement gets me --- ---
