It might seem a little melodramatic, their whole lives are ahead of them, they don\u2019t work or pay any bills. The most they\u2019ll ever have to worry about is the social nightmare that high school inevitably entails. However, that\u2019s sort of the point. The passage of time feels disorienting, the impending adulthood can oftentimes feel extremely stressful. What do we want to do with our lives? What does the future even look like?<\/p>\n<p>dexter in the newsagent distills these anxieties well on \u201cEighteen,\u201d tender and wistful through an amalgamation of 2000s pop, indie, and R&amp;B. She wields uncertainty with grace, no quiver in her voice despite the sobering reality that time moves forward. We can\u2019t be kids forever and those dreams need action or they\u2019ll fade away into the abyss. Dexter is exceptional, subtly emotive in her singing. Every pre-chorus takes a deep breath before launching into the tearful hook, embracing her fears. It\u2019s the earnest quality in her demeanor that keeps dexter in the newsagent from a calloused dismissal. Her anxieties of the future are relatable, even if it\u2019s simple like gray hairs and moves out of our rooms. <\/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\/4H43ils7p6k\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/4H43ils7p6k\/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=\"Veeze - L.O.A.T (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4H43ils7p6k?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=\"Veeze - L.O.A.T (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4H43ils7p6k?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-veeze-l-o-a-t\">Veeze- \u201cL.O.A.T\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The title for greatest rapper alive changes hands all the time. Utlimately, it\u2019s a matter of who\u2019s active, whether it\u2019s a litany of guest features or a fantastic album. Back in the 2000s, Lil Wayne kept it in his ballpark through pure dominance, mixtapes, albums, and verses galore. He was good to keep his throne in a much different music industry. Nowadays, the streaming culture makes the fight for the throne more turbulent than ever. It changes hands more than the WWF Hardcore championship. However, if anyone has claim to it on a relatively consistent basis, it\u2019s Veeze. <\/p>\n<p>Veeze might be the greatest rapper alive because he resurrects a lot of the same practices Lil Wayne led with back in the day. The energy is similar too, hip-hop as an empire to conquer and the means to keep proving it. There\u2019s no days off when trying to claim the best rapper alive. You can\u2019t go on hiatus like Kendrick Lamar and expect it to still be his. You have to prove it. <\/p>\n<p>On the slinky \u201cL.O.A.T,\u201d Veeze reasserts the position he claimed when he released Ganger in 2023. The best bars are absurd and hilarious, a trait that goes underrated in hip-hop. \u201cI pour up drank with the floor seats and scream out a play to the coach\u201d is the kind of zany, lavish line that we used to adore Ghostface Killah for back in the day. There are plenty of rappers that sound good but you can never remember what they actually say. Veeze is the kind of rapper with sticky punchlines that stick around in your head for days. <\/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\/guh0FaIu6C4\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/guh0FaIu6C4\/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=\"Miguel - New Martyrs (Ride 4 U) (Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/guh0FaIu6C4?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=\"Miguel - New Martyrs (Ride 4 U) (Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/guh0FaIu6C4?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-miguel-new-martyrs-ride-4-u\">Miguel- \u201cNew Martyrs (Ride 4 U)\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s been 8 years since we last heard from Miguel. In 2017, he released the loose and groovy <em>War &amp; Leisure<\/em>, generally low stakes and sexy, the kind of records you\u2019d hear at a day party over mimosas. When you take such a long time off, what do you really have to say? Do you come back like nothing ever happened? <\/p>\n<p>On \u201cNew Martyrs (Ride 4 U),\u201d it didn\u2019t seem like he changed all that much initially. There\u2019s a sexy, searing guitar riff that awakens <em>Wildheart<\/em>, his sunburned rock and funk album in 2015. On a breezy, inattentive listen, it\u2019s a thick, muggy groove. However, upon further examination, Miguel offers a radical, Bonnie &amp; Clyde style rebellion, where love as a sacrifice turns literal. Edgy fantasy takes over the imagination, angsty and thrilling how two lovers would never leave each other behind if things go south. <\/p>\n<p>But then, he unfurls the why of their operation. When he says \u201cI\u2019ve got my seed on my mind\u201d and echoes \u201cthe love can\u2019t be silent when the system isn\u2019t equal,\u201d desperation sinks in. Miguel and his partner aren\u2019t backing down from the consequences either. \u201cAnd if I hear sirens outside, and I can see the lights flash, let me kiss you goodbye, you know I\u2019m ready to blast,\u201d he croons. This isn\u2019t your typical stickup jam. It\u2019s a covert tune of rebellion. Eight years away, Miguel clearly has more on his mind than <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=76O3w4pt0CA\">\u201cLuke Skywalkin\u2019 on these haters.\u201d<\/a><\/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><\/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.
