Saw Drake at Wireless festival on Friday and have since, found myself revisiting his very impressive catalogue. Here I have arguably my favourite Drake track, which takes me back to when I first heard it on the Comeback Season mixtape, around 7 years ago now. I wonder what happened to Andreena Mill (who was also on The Last Hope), she never seemed to take off...

Rather Unique - AZ

Rather Unique AZ Doe Or Die 1995

AZ, one of the most under-rated, overlooked Emcees; “the best kept secret.” Many don’t know him. Many who do know him simply as “that guy from Illmatic.” Me and Kurtz went to catch the ‘Mafioso rap’ star at his show in London, to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of undercover classic Doe or Die.

I remember bumpin AZ in my dorm room in my first year of uni, while my corridor resonated with early sounds of the impending EDM takeover. This track takes me back to that same room in the summertime; sunshine, windows open, Doe or Die on the speakers. Good times.

I couldn't leave it with just Rather Unique, so here are some of my other favourites, in addition to the album in question: 

How Ya Livin’ ft Nas - A truly great hip-hop partnership, bringing it back to the origins; ‘Life’s a Bitch’. Some even claim that AZ’s skills not only rival, but surpass those of ‘The Firm’ co-member Escobar himself.

The Come Up ft DJ Premier - This list wouldn't be complete without another special collaboration with one of hip-hop’s true OG’s.

The comparisons between current indie heroes The xx and 1970′s welsh band Young Marble Giants have been made since the beginning of the three piece’s rise. There is a tangible stylistic comparison between the bands separated by 30 odd years as well as a commitment to minimalist soundscapes. 

It is  these comparisons that led to my own discovery of the obscure Welsh band. The first thing you’re struck by upon exploring their work  is the sparse production with the separate elements often easily counted on one hand. “ Searching for Mr Right” from their sole full length LP “Colossal Youth”, is a  microcosm of their whole aesthetic. Alison Statton’s restrained vocals relate introspective thoughts on love and loneliness  and are accompanied by a vibrant yet conspicuously lonely bass guitar. The final ingredient musically is a snappy percussion line that helps keep you locked in a trance like state.

On a completely different note to my last post, my long-lasting obsession with dubstep and drum & bass can be traced back to this one track, which I first heard when I was about 16. Taking a sample from Metallica’s ‘Wherever I may roam’, it effortlessly fuses heavy metal and dubstep to create anticipation for its massive drop.

Hip-Hop Saved My Life (feat. Nikki Jean) (video)

For my first Vinyl Collection track, it had to be this one from Lupe. This track, aside from being completely dope, plays a particular importance to me. The entire track boats of optimism and ambition, the subtle keys in the background bring a melody that only Lupe’s rhymes could do justice to. Topping it off on the chorus with a simple and subdued verse by Nikki Jean- picking up the tone right at the end- this track helped add to the backing and self belief I needed. Every time I hear this beat, I get thrown back to reminiscing of younger, more immature days. I have always linked up songs with moments of my life, this song played a pivotal part in helping me clear my thoughts. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did, and that it helped you at any point as it did with me.
