Take the angry, haunted album like <em>I Don\u2019t Like S**t, I Don\u2019t Go Outside<\/em> or the ghostly \u201csolace.\u201d The journey towards healing was a long, exhaustive one, where he leaned on his community, shed any audience expectation from his psyche, and realized he could conquer his self torment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cexhaust\u201d feels like the culmination of all this hard work. Earl raps with a sense of clarity and peace that sounds refreshing after years of lethargic, despondent shrugging. Co-produced with Navy Blue, the beat feels like an old rocking chair on the front porch, watching the sun go down and the kids play outside. The raps match, his verse ending, \u201cNo amount of sugar gon\u2019 help with the taste. At the end of the day, it\u2019s really just you and whatever you think. I\u2019m airmailing you strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-savage-platform-youtube-placeholder\" data-component=\"youtube-placeholder\">\n\t\t<button type=\"button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play video<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" width=\"72\" height=\"50.76\"><use href=\"#am-symbol-youtube-play-dark\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/U_xeHtsWXbU\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/U_xeHtsWXbU\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<template><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MEXIKODRO - HEIGHT || Shot By. @Jwoods_14 (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U_xeHtsWXbU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/template><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<noscript><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MEXIKODRO - HEIGHT || Shot By. @Jwoods_14 (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U_xeHtsWXbU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mexikodro-height\">Mexikodro- \u201cHEIGHT\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>A lot of rappers tend to focus on all of their luxuries and flaunting them accordingly. However, sometimes, artists can overlook the long, arduous journeys it took to get to their overwhelming success. This is what makes Atlanta\u2019s legendary producer and emerging rapper Mexikodro so refreshing. He\u2019s one of hip-hop\u2019s few blue collar workers, extremely grounded with a penchant for old school rides. Records like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M9xqpkNN2iI&amp;pp=ygUJbWV4aWtvZHJv\">\u201cNo Date\u201d<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gqBG1R9a68c&amp;pp=ygUJbWV4aWtvZHJv\">\u201cMarta\u201d<\/a> echo the hustling sentiments of Thug Motivation 101 era Jeezy and Shawty Redd, all while donning a Dickies suit and making stops at the Texaco. <\/p>\n<p>Mexikodro continue to lay out his mission statement on his latest record \u201cHeight.\u201d He\u2019s all about stacking his money, fixing up his cars, riding through the streets, living simply. Underneath his gruff, dead-eyed delivery, there\u2019s a sense of peace to Mexiko. Towards the end of his verse, he recalls the pitfalls he endured to get to this point. \u201cI was down bad, rehab, I need\u0435d help, f***in\u2019 with them pills, couldn\u2019t do it by myself. \u201cIt was kinda hard, all th\u0435se cards I was dealt, I was goin\u2019 through it, you ain\u2019t felt how I felt. Life got better, Mexiko, he found Christ,\u201d he stresses. <\/p>\n<p>His purpose might seem mundane. But after such turmoil, it makes sense why Mexikodro prefers to keep things simple. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-savage-platform-youtube-placeholder\" data-component=\"youtube-placeholder\">\n\t\t<button type=\"button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play video<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" width=\"72\" height=\"50.76\"><use href=\"#am-symbol-youtube-play-dark\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/W_jeVDMnemE\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/W_jeVDMnemE\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<template><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teyana Taylor, KAYTRANADA - Open Invite (Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W_jeVDMnemE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/template><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<noscript><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teyana Taylor, KAYTRANADA - Open Invite (Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W_jeVDMnemE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teyana-taylor-amp-kaytranada-open-invite\">Teyana Taylor &amp; KAYTRANADA- \u201cOpen Invite\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Once KAYTRANADA\u2019s flavor of dance music got popular, every R&amp;B artist wanted a taste. Oftentimes, it can play out a bit lazy and uninspired, a desperate ploy for a different aesthetic. It might work for some artists but frankly, not everyone can be Teedra Moses on the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2OooRsERqyY&amp;pp=ygUSYmUgeW91ciBnaXJsIHJlbWl4\">\u201cBe Your Girl\u201d<\/a> remix. <\/p>\n<p>However, Teyana Taylor is the exact kind of artist who could elevate new KAYTRANADA material. She\u2019s always had an intimate, slightly dominant presence that accentuates pulsating dance beats. On \u201cOpen Invite,\u201d she\u2019s breathy and sensual while KAYTRANADA\u2019s drums feel like you\u2019re skin to skin with someone. Rather than tip-toe around it, Teyana slams her lustiness on the table, stressing that there\u2019s no time to second guess her hookup. \u201cLet you press record and let me scream your name,\u201d Taylor presses after riddling off all of her sexual fantasies in the previous verse. A lot of the best dance songs emphasize sweat\u2013 what better way to release than through sex?<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\t\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\t\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\t\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\t\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\t\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\t\tfbq('init', '782589578427709');\n\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t<\/script><script>\n        !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n            if (f.fbq) return;\n            n = f.fbq = function () {\n                n.callMethod ?\n                    n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n            };\n            if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n            n.push = n;\n            n.loaded = !0;\n            n.version = '2.0';\n            n.queue = [];\n            t = b.createElement(e);\n            t.async = !0;\n            t.src = v;\n            s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n            s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n        }(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '782589578427709');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    <\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.vice.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every week, seemingly a gazillion songs release on streaming services.
