MØ x Diplo – XXX

Who would have thought that the bad ass babeliness of Mø and Diplo would unite to create such a monster force of a track? Well, they did. And it’s every bit as entertaining as you would imagine. I’m not surprised by the quality of Diplo’s production anymore, I feel like his twerk life and projected image of wildness is only a little bit true. What I’m saying is, this party animal actually cares about his music, and it shows in the quality of tracks like this. This is a banger, don’t get me wrong, but the multiple levels of sound and harmony in those levels reminds me of the mixtape that Diplo released last year (?) where he claimed to have gotten stoned and mixed a bunch of old records together. The music video features this lovely lady head twirling and swinging her long braid in every direction, which is basically all I could imagine myself doing if I had that long amount of hair, too. So that’s lovely.

As I write this post, the day is intensely beautiful outside my brother’s window. I’m in the suburbs for a day. There’s water and green and leaves on trees that won’t deny the fact that Fall is approaching quickly. This track is playing in my computer speakers and it suits the landscape that I’m taking in right now.

Without further ado, enjoy!

Danny Brown – Grown Up (Explicit)

Alright my friends I have something a little different for you today and I am really stoked about it.  I am a huge hip-hop/rap head, if you have driven in my car with me then you already know this and we haven’t had enough of this genre on EMPT lately.  When I heard this track Grown Up by an independent hip-hop recording artist Danny Brown I was like DAMN I feel this.  I have never heard of this guy Danny until now, which blows my mind cuz he is great, and I love finding new hip-hop that blows my mind like this.  He kind of reminds me of a mix between the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest. And Seriously this video is too good, in my opinion its genius and 110 percent entertaining, yup your welcome, this is a rare find my friends, I kinda want to be this little kid in the video just not given a S*&t, HA!

Never ever quit I just kept on pursuin’
Teacher always asked me what I was doin’

Whoever thought I’d be the greatest growin up..”

Danny’s been gaining respect in the rap game for a couple years now by getting friendly with 50 Cent and Tony Yayo and eventually getting signed to Fools Gold Records where he came out with his album XXX in 2011.  This cat is on the top of my list right now, he obviously knows what is going on because he has fun catchy lyrics and a great flow which is key since I feel like hip-hop is one of the most complicated genres to master.  I think we will be seeing Danny Brown move up pretty quick.

Watch the video and press play on this magic right here, enjoy!
