Tracks of the Week - 1st April 2016
A$AP Ferg - World Is Mine ft. Big Sean
Compared to the full on Ferg we've come to know and love, 'World Is Mine' is super reserved, the crawling pace and generally quite sombre vocal tone and production adds a nice variety to Ferg's repertoire. Big Sean's feature is actually the only tonally bright part of the track, the juxtaposition between the two working well. With some prior duds being released prior to this, and on the run up to Always Strive And Prosper being released at the end of April, it's good to see Ferg trying some new stuff, whether it's accepted or not.
Kanye West - FML
With The Life of Pablo actually seeing a proper although confusing full release, I've returned to it after a month or so of not listening and, just as it did originally, this track lands better than anything else on the record by miles, and the small vocal harmonies added in Kanye's post-listening edits are a nice tweak. Originally one of my favourites from the record anyway, it just seems to bring the pace down brilliantly in between 'Waves' and 'Wolves', and The Weeknd's feature is quite frankly the best on the record besides Chance's verse on 'Ultralight Beam'. If you've been sleeping on this cause you hate Kanye, and he's a dick, and blah blah blah⊠stop being stupid. Give this a listen. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's very good.
Earl Sweatshirt - Luper
Tyler recently came up in conversation with a friend, and it reminded me of all the good shit OF put out 'back in the day', and I came across this piece of gold. Mid pace beat, slightly rough production, and Earl completely on point. Regardless of the state of Odd Future or their individual careers - that said, The Internet are fantastic - for quite some time most members of the musical side of OF seemed like they could take off with their careers at any moment, and this track really does reflect that for Earl.
