TheMIND adds an otherworldly sound to the Chicago scene. His complex production style lifts his poetic singing style to another dimension. His lyrics are on point, and his singing voice even reminds me of Frank Ocean at times, but his beats are what bring his sound together. He did study at Colombia.
I love the artist’s creativity and experimentation on Summer Camp. From his complex lyrics to the carefully placed vocal samples, unorthodox drum patterns, addicting clicks and beeps, impossibly jazzy synths and environmentally friendly sound effects, theMIND is a genius for this project. Those are some critical features too. Get you some education from the young king.
Chuck Inglish laced up his second studio album today (October 2, 2015). The Detroit rapper-producer-stylist acts as older bro on Everybody’s Big Brother, offering spots to many up-and-coming unknowns.
Chuck did a visual for “2003,” although it didn’t wind up making the final project. He unveiled his video for “Sweat Shorts” with Asher Roth and Helios Hussain on March 24, 2016.
Mick Jenkins is an innovator. He’s one of the leaders of the new conscious but won’t hesitate to shake things up. Wave[s] is the mantra for woke citizens, forward thinking but based on the past. Listen, learn and proceed with your life choices.
Donnie Trumpet and Chance The Rapper‘s group The Social Experiment piece together a beautiful and complex work of art for the city – Surf (May 28, 2015). The gang is getting more clouted up now, so they were able to get some other rappers on there too. More than anything, this shows a bright future for Hip Hop in a land that could use some shine. The trumpeter is a coo nuance.
