CUZ U AINT GANGSTA CUZ U AINT GANGSTA UNLESS U

for all u ppl out there familiar with the existence of gogo but still acting like little bitches about diving in to strange. either Foyolyfe is the crew and TEALStribe is the artist or its the other way around or its neither and whoever it was that wrote the ABOUT page was just being too extra with all the royal We’s. None of that old jack swing gogo, this is bounce beat distilled and rebottled to fit under a NEW AGE label. Listen to these for a couple hours, u know, get ur ears right, then get lost in some old TOB and TCB youtube holes till u can feel the sweat on ur butt. stay away from CCB tho, ur probably not ready.

TEALStribe, “Love It (Jug & Bounce mix)” (2013)

SLUTTY BOYZ — WHEN YOU SEE ME

Slutty Boyz, “When You See Me” (2014)
^{prod. Yung Lan}

every time there’s been a lull in trel’s momentum the slutty boyz have always kept shit rolling in his stead. she fell in love wasn’t a bad first record in ross’ lavish miami lobster bisque on a yacht world but it didnt exactly set anything on fire and putting out a music video in the dead of winter months after the track dropped didnt help any either (i love ben’s as much as the next drunk but there isn’t much about the song that evokes U St in December). The more Trel raps about the Slutty Boyz, the better the song is probably gonna be n until he lets loose songs like this clanging thing, slutty boyz are where it’s at. “When You See Me” is off their delayed Da New Kool mixtape, way better than that “Yall Not Ready” song that was probably Wale’s fault, and the “Savage” joint is off Pwild’s latest mixtape-before-the-mixtape. Don’t sleep on that like yall did “Wild’n Out“.

Thraxxx — Ask For It

Here’s a new lil dulcet titty bar dreamscape joint Thraxxx dropped on their soundcloud a bit over a week ago, “Ask For It”. It’s a strong follow-up to their still growing regional hit “Too” from late last year that kinda crept up on everyone but has been officially certified via gogo rendition. I can’t remember the last local single to spread that fast tbh. The most successful, well known artists from here haven’t made their name off singles for the most part. Blame that on DC’s aesthetic vacuum or w/e.
