Greetings true believers, and welcome to the TUESDAY COMMUTE Quality music to listen to on your commute to… well… wherever! …and we back! Wit moar chune for ya headtop, ya dun kno!!! Slightly different vibe, but folks should dig regardless. As always hit me on twitter (@kongquips) with any tweaks or recommendations. Dat link: https://soundcloud.com/kongsongs/sets/tuesday-commute-9-5 Tracklist: 1) Mvstermind “Mali Moola” Let’s get this MONEY!!! It’s Tuesday in September, classes have been kicking for some time, folks that aren’t in school are out working and stacking. As the spirit of the hustle fills the fresh autumn air, I figured I’d kick off today’s commute with some genuine 314 skrill talk from the homie Mvstermind. This song has been buzzing for quite some time in the homestead, along with his “Cusp EP” and visuals that dropped earlier this year (flames btw.) Catchy, quotable flows, with some nice, bouncy yet textured production seems perfect for that Loufest stage! 2) Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge “Get Bigger” Continuing on this theme of elevation, be it financial or otherwise, we slide into some silky ass flows from Monsieur Andy SideStick and Stones Throw’s own Knxwledge! I’d been anticipating this album heavy since “Suede” was leaked(?) on Kinda Neat a few years back. Low and behold, the albums great! This is easily one of the standouts. As crazy as .Paak is with his flows and that buttery smooth hook, this beat is really what does it for me. Just a loop, but that’s really all he needed. Beauty within simplicity. 3) Breezy Lovejoy “Sadie” Speaking of Anderson .Paak, it often amazes me that folks still havent caught on to the artist he used to be. I used to listen this LA based music podcast “KNOCKSTEADY” back in high school. One of their featured artists was this dude named Breezy Lovejoy. With his smooth yet pained voice, and somehow smoother yet complex bars, i was instantly hooked, and had been following ever since. This was from his Penultimate album as Breezy Lovejoy, and one of if not my favorite albums he’s produced. The beats all over this project (which a majority he produced himself… just btw) are fantastic. Fair warning, its not as easy listening as his material as Anderson .Paak, but its amazing regardless. 4) Justin Wallace ft. KOS “Drugs” There's something about this sample that speaks to me. Mid-heavy and lo-if, makes it sound like the dust is affecting the recording, which I love every bit of. Though the rappers themselves to necessarily fit the smooth mood the production provides, they give off the hunger the lyrics show off flawlessly. KOS (who I featured last week as KALIK) is quickly becoming one of my Soundcloud Go-To's. 5) Maudlin Strangers "AIM" Moving on from the curbside dope dealing, to something a little more heavy and upper class. The delayed guitars and fuzzy bass ooze a swagger worn by a certain martini sipping super-spy. The vocals lacing these rhythms hit you with the cold stare of business behind a gun with such an intoxicating attitude, and build to such grandiose that it's hard to not feel like a boss when listening to it. 6) Jonwayne "LIVE from the F**k you" Sometimes the whistle gets old, especially if you're more of the homebody type like Master Wayne here. We start he song with a, seemingly random dude walking up to him trying to get a verse from him while he's eating with his friends, much to Jon's dismay. Annoyed and sick of it, he kicks a beautifully snarky series of bars simply about how he hates when people put him on the spot. The instrumentation here is scarce, which excellently compliments the near monotone MC's tired (in the best way possible) quotes. As much as I wish this song were longer, if works with its album "Rap Album 2" very well. 7) Jimi Tents "MPR" Shouts to Cvnvvn for hipping me to this one. It's kinda sad how refreshing it is to find fresh faces in hip-hop that actually love and care about the art form. The "5 o'clock Shadow LP" is a slapper to say the least, and on every listen this song tends to stick out to me. That could very well be to the... adequate at best (by comparison at least) beat behind, or the fact that Jimi himself shines through it with one of the stickiest hooks on the project. Flow for DAYS, and quotes out the ass as well. When you're not cringing at that 'B Major' line, you gonna be bouncing and nodding your head. 8) Jai Paul "BTSTU" You've heard this song before... I'm almost certain... Drake's covered it, G Eazy has his own version as well. This man was everywhere on the internet for a split second, and rightfully so. This song is absolutely gorgeous!! With its thin yet thunderous percussion and growling basslines (like if dilla heard a clipping record.) Jai himself laces the track with beautiful harmonies and a tales of a sailors homecoming! It's still gives me chills, especially when you think we haven't really heard from him since. 9) MNDSGN "yeah" And to close us out we have some chill vibes from a pillar of the Cali beat scene. This actually is a clip from a Boiler Room show he did a while back, all of which was flames! Some beefy, bouncy drums and a breezy sample to ease you into whatever test is about to come your way! Sorry I'm this late... some technical difficulities with SC and Tumblr's app stopped me from getting it cemented before work. I'm trying to get better at finishing these ahead of time to rectify all of this. Next week we'll have the vibes prompt in the morning for your ride to work or school. Peace & Love -KONG
