That\u2019s how Kwame Adu raps on \u201cDirty Monk\u201d. The New Jersey-bred, LA-based rapper\/singer\/producer has this sharp, pointed precision in his rapping that slices through even the most wildly kinetic production imaginable.\u00a0<em>\u201cEvery day a blessing when you make a prayer knowing everything is different,\u201d<\/em> he raps over the kind of beat that would soundtrack a Samurai Jack fight scene.<\/p>\n<p>Ocho Worldwide steals the show, one of the few rappers with an innate understanding of a record\u2019s stakes and the verse it calls for. He channels the chaotic energy by teetering on the brink of a sinister rock bottom and grounding it in self-improvement. <em>\u201cI done seen me a few endings, I done had me a few benders. I done spent hours pretending, long way from home, I ain\u2019t servin\u2019 no sentence,\u201d<\/em> he snarls before centering himself in the present and future. <em>\u201cI\u2019m still tryna pray 5 times a day, I\u2019m still tryna chase liquor away, I\u2019m still tryna get blood out the cage, I put bread on his books everyday.

Collaborating with Detroit jazz drummer Karriem Riggins, they create \u201cCirclesz\u201d, a delightfully sweet, lovesick jam session. Liv.e yearns over Riggins\u2019 steady, smoky drum beat, as if she\u2019s cooing flirts over cognac at the bar, dim menthol in the air, and everyone wearing corduroy. Vocally, there\u2019s a lot of ambition here, holding and squiggling a note on the hook, while contorting her voice a bit deeper for a textural change. Together as GENA, Liv.e and Riggins depict a never-ending honeymoon phase, the kind of romance that informed the greatest soul records.<\/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\/cSmwU9qG9zs\/maxresdefault.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/cSmwU9qG9zs\/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-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Summer Walker - FMT (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cSmwU9qG9zs?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-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Summer Walker - FMT (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cSmwU9qG9zs?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-summer-walker-fmt\">Summer Walker- \u201cFMT\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Marriage is usually the happiest day of a person\u2019s life. The idea of eternal commitment to the person you love in front of the people you cherish. It\u2019s a dream come true for so many people. However, on \u201cFMT\u201d, Summer Walker looks at marriage through the coldest lens: a business proposition. Love is but a fleeting emotion that always crumbles in the face of turbulence. So instead of setting herself up for disappointment, she chooses the lover who brings her a comfortable life and hopefully a peace of mind. Love is secondary here.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s such a visceral jadedness to Summer Walker\u2019s disposition. \u201cFMT\u201d plays at acceptance. She croons over a warm, wispy guitar that suggests a sense of finality. The war for love is over. Instead, she\u2019s \u201cFinally Over It\u201d and loves herself enough that she doesn\u2019t need to find that love of her life.<\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s an air of tragedy that pervades the record. Summer Walker writes with such melancholy, but sings with this nagging feeling that she shouldn\u2019t give up. She shrugs, <em>\u201cI\u2019m tired of trying, let\u2019s make Daddy proud even if we\u2019re lying,\u201d<\/em> but she croons with this hesitance. <em>\u201cHoney, he\u2019s rich, so swallow your pain,\u201d<\/em> Walker sighs.<\/p>\n<p>If R&amp;B stresses the importance of love and commitment, Summer Walker uses her songwriting to highlight how a woman can give up in favor of a lucrative transaction. There are only so many times the heart can withstand abuse until someone decides that giving up would be a whole lot easier.<\/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 are released on streaming services.
