It should be known that we really do love us some Kanye West around these parts but as far as shit songs on his forthcoming record go, fingers crossed the first single with Sir P-Mac Daddy is the Only One.
Don’t get us wrong, the sentiment is lovely and we’re feeling McCartney’s work on the keys but Yeezus Christ Kanye… enough with the auto-tuned singing already. Pls.
Who knows, maybe it’s a grower and we’re as confident as the man himself that the new record will be loaded with jams but for the time being you can find us listening to these 5 new gems while we wait for something better…
1. 7 Days Of Funk - N My System
Because, Snoop Dogg & Dam Funk.
2. Tonik Ensemble - Until We Meet Again
Similar in sentiment to Only One being that it’s a damp ballad but hey at least the dude doesn’t need the assistance of auto-tune to hold a note.
3. Villain Park - We Out To Get The Money
Remember when Kanye used to rap? Better yet, remember early 90’s hip hop? LA’s Villain Park sure as hell do. Super authentic golden era business for the now.
4. Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Sunday Candy
This has been floating about for a minute now, but we’ve made no secret about our love for the ring leader of The Social Experiment - Chance The Rapper. 2015 is definitely going to be a BIG year for our fave rap crooner.
5. Daddy Showkey feat. Harrisong - Asalamabeez
We see your auto-tune Kanye and we raise you in the tune of Daddy Showkey! A big slice of Afro-pop dancehall madness that is getting a heap of love in the UK just now.
