Spanish guitar has signaled summertime sexy for rap ever since Kells dropped “Fiesta” and *sighs wistfully* the “Fiesta” remix with Jay-Z. oFISHal, Starlito and Coop know this and deliver a raunchy poolside number in the same vein, albeit one that’s slower and far less subtle.
This record is great, even if J-Kwon did it first. Teen drinking is very bad.
Big Boi goes to the Deep South for his first single from Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors. This sounds great, but the features for non-trap Southern rap singles are getting awfully predictable. How many Bun B, Big K.R.I.T. spots have there been already?

The sole takeaway from XV’s Popular Culture mixtape is this cut named for the old Nickelodeon cartoon, which, come to think of it, was an awesome show. I’ll leave you to ponder the logistics of Krumm, the monster who carries his eyeballs in his hands and rolls them around to see things in hard-to-reach places. This song may just been be a ploy to appear in YouTube searches by people who grew up on golden age Nicktoons.
Von Pea remains New York’s most underrated. This remix appears on the CD release of You & What Army.
