Skinny Brown features 2020 2/3
At the end of April this year I made a post about the 19 songs Skinny Brown has featured in from January 2020 until end of April 2020, so I thought why not make another one about the songs where he featured from May to end of August :)
First I thought it might not be possible for him to work this much AGAIN, but, despite him producing Ash Island’s single and recording the Tocca Brown album that is going to be released soon (and probably more), he managed to get on another 17 songs by other artists! And probably I missed some.
greenbeige – In the booth: (not so surprisingly) an emo rap song. It has the simple little bass you hear on khh soundcloud songs often these days, but I like it. It’s not outstanding or particularly special, but personally since it’s my taste, I find it nice.
Cash Dhila – Nerd Trap Star: Same bass, also autotune singing (slightly mumbly) rap :D I like the song but especially Skinny’s part. He really comes up with new fresh melodies each time I’m so impressed.
M1NU – NABI (feat. kuzi): Also like the other songs but more melodic/pop. Alright.
Leebido – Creep: this what I call prrrrccccht lol. Beat and rap are probably decent and just what they’re supposed to be, but not outstanding. Idk what else to call it but lq trap you know what I mean? It seems to be a strong trend for now and lots of artists, especially underground, follow it. It would be nice to see somebody add a personal note now and then :‘D
Minit – Ride (feat. Jayci yucca, Leellamarz): I was excited for Minit’s EP after he produced The Guys (and lots of other good songs) and happy to see wysd boys feature too! It’s a cheerful pop-rock song. Sadly the chorus is very ballad-y which is not my taste at all.
1DAY X Urban Fisher – W.Y.S.D (feat. Wayside): this is from 1DAY and Urban Fisher’s first album which all of Wayside were very emotional(?) about. Both of the main artists use a lot of autotune which made me not like the album a lot. It’s a pop-rock song and for me the song is a bit too much pop BUT it’s cute to see all Wayside members on a song together and apparently cutely happy about it :D Also I was missing Hyoeun a lot these days, it’s nice to hear a bit from him ^_^
Leellamarz X Panda Gomm – Done (feat. Jayci yucca): loveitloveit. Leellamarz and Panda Gomm showed some REAL versatility on their two albums and more singles they quickly threw out in just a few weeks. They had various artists featuring in the Bambooclub projects, and this song fits Skinny and Jayci perfectly. It’s a pop-rock song but.. not boring :‘D :‘D I really like the main electric guitar riff :)
Jimmyy : Jimmy – I: Another pop song with some guitar. The vibe/rhythm of it, especially the chorus, isn’t my thing… From a neutral point of view I could imagine a lot of people would like it.
JAEHA – Pop a Pill: JAEHA is a member of Livrside crew where Trade L is also a member. This is his debut song. When just reading the title I’m… I’ve had enough of all the pill talks tbh. It’s a pop song with piano and strings, some hiphop hi-hats and autotune singing.
Pateko – Rainy Day (feat. Ash Island): This is the debut of PATEKO, a producer in wysd. Pop song with instruments. It’s cute but not outstanding.
Wasp – Something (feat. MIllO): same but MIllO’s autotune is too much for my taste.
northfacekid – vinyl flava (feat. Tommy Strate, Mckdaddy, Bradystreet): now there is some rap here. Different names, different styles. Skinny, too, raps again without melody for a change. Overall still a little chaotic. A slow trap song.
D-Hack – Bokura ga ita: D-Hack is a member of Neokidz and he has been releasing A LOT of music. He is another singing rapper with autotune BUT in him I see some more potential. Even though his songs sound a little similar sometimes, this only shows that he has his own style compared to similar artists. I’m sure as he keeps making music, he will polish his own style more and I hope he will get some more recognition. This song has drums, guitar, and piano and it’s nicely arranged – better than most songs on this list. It’s almost a rock song, maybe it’s only a matter of mastering or whatever idk that stuff :D You will see D-Hack’s own style when you check his MVs too, he has a lot and they’re super cute :)
Futuristic Swaver – Ftu (feat. JAEHA): So most of the things I just said about D-Hack go for Futuristic Swaver too. He is also a producer who also produces for other people and releases SO MUCH. He’s already a little more popular than D-Hack and has many connections. Colorful, creative MVs. This song is a little slow for my taste though. Emo rap about heartbreak. But it’s a good example for how I can forgive Skinny Brown any amount of autotune he just sounds good either way :D
hyeminsong x BAMSEM – Thinking of me: hyeminsong and BAMSEM are women, one is a producer and the other a singer (I forgot which way around :D). It’s a R&B song with not that great singing (by the girl) but an interesting beat.
+ 17. Yami Tommy – We know (feat. Ash Island) and Bakery (feat. Ash Island): I really like this double single! The songs are produced by Pateko and TOIL. I like Bakery a tiny bit better because it’s less melodic (?). “Bakery, we make a lot of pain money” get it haha I find it funny. (”pain” is bread in French but… pain in English^^)
Extra: G R I O – Forward (feat. GI$T): since there is „only“ one Soundcloud song, I decided to add this one too. I almost wondered if Skinny really hasn’t worked with GI$t for four full months and here’s the answer :D G R I O is a producer who produced a lot of GI$T’s songs. Very melodic, almost a pop song. It’s alright.
IFI – Memo (feat. HOON): was released in February, I missed it last time. A singing-rap ballad with a slow distorted guitar that I find a little irritating. It’s alright; the guitar part could’ve been better.
Now it’s September and Skinny already featured on someone else’s song again. I don’t know if I’ll keep doing this. Most the artists are still small and sound similar because they haven’t developed a lot yet, which is ok. Maybe it’s just me being biased, but Skinny Brown increases the quality of most these songs so much, he’s on a much higher level. I guess he’s doing these paid(??) featurings to save money for other projects? Anyway I look forward to his new music where he’s a main artist. The Tocca Brown album must be coming soon (they’re teasing so much but it’s still not here >.<) and after that there will be only more, yay ^_^
