I don't mean to diss the trap game. Trust me, I'm a fan. Flosstradamus had me sweatin' through my jeans.
But, originality is lacking. With the multiple collaborations, duos, and vast inspiration from multitudes of artists, I find it odd that after awhile it all starts to blend. Even for me. That's when these gems start to shine bright like diamonds (okay, I'll stop now).
That all being said, today I was impressed with these new songs that stepped way out of the norm. First, Edgewood, Mayhem's side project (as I understand). Treasure Fingers, the original artist, released Cloudlife to the masses as this funky house smooth groove. Check him out for the original. But this remix is something else. Simply put, funky glitch-hop with trap elements. I really don't know how else to describe it. Jungle sounds, funky bass, hi-hats. Just listen.
Then I came across this wonderful gem. Kennedy Jones and Soul Define collab on the smooth lounge grind. Enter the sax and the soothing female vocals. Next it caught me off guard, cuz I coulda swore Atmosphere jumped on the track. Soul Define. Killin' everything.
Gotta love it when amazing tracks are free, and as always, Enjoy!
