Afropunk säger det så bra:
"This is the golden moment. This is the moment right before there's really a name for what this is. This is the moment when it's not a style. It's not a genre. It's not even a movement. But a handful of artists are pushing hip-hop in new radical directions and it is glorious. The latest disciple of the new school of noise rap is Baltimore's Abdu Ali."
Abdu Ali från Baltimore har satt samman detta mixtape som jag fastnade på. Låtarna är producerade av andra Baltimore-ppl som Matic808 (vars vogue-mixes jag avgudar), Schwarz, James Nasty och Lord Baby.
När jag sen kollar upp vem Abdu Ali är, visar det sig att denne är vän med några av mina andra senaste nya crushes: Quay Dash (stay tuuuned för mer Quay).
Aja, lyssna på 'tapet eller läs texten han själv skrivit ♡
"peaches smell like honey, a scent has pushed me to slay, even if it was miles away from the hood where i grew up at. thank god for my crystal eyes to see that octarine. you know, if the world is in somebody else’s hands, take that shit with no mercy. don’t give a three fucks and be buck. be polite though, kind, and try to have a transparent attitude. conquer buddha style. PUSH + SLAY , is conjujred up sounds for the future, with a bass that’s like 1000 hearts coming up from the darkness pumping in your face all to get the body/spirit/mind motivated. experimental? naw my niggas this is real life. this is for my classic trill mothatfuckas who like to break their backs and rock their heads against the skyline. so PUSH + SLAY, be hardcore, be ready to die, be a warrior, get gen and get in. #BMOREF4EVA "
