Woop, 9lokknine – Tellin’.

Unexpected 80s Miami bass vibes on this deep cut by Woop and 9lokknine, brought to my attention by The Hotbox Social.

EAR.DRUM – Deaf Ray.

Luxurious and sumptuous beats on this instrumental album from producer EAR.DRUM who ignores the sparseness and desolation that might earn a Griselda placement and opts for 1,000 thread count soul samples.

The Koreatown Oddity – Koreatown Oddity.

Until recently, I knew the Koreatown Oddity as an LA guy who made some fantastic psychedelic goofball rap with Ras G. See “House Party” and “Burfday.” This year, he told his life story on a sprawling and intimate self-produced album; a prestige coming of age picture without the boring shit. Some crazy beats too.
