Jay Cinema & Jedos

"Hell Of A Life"

Afrosounds

This dude has been one of my favorite independent rappers since his EP "Staring At The Sky", he's yet to disappoint. Since that debut he's released about ten EPs (by my unprofessional count) and was even featured on the Problemas song "The Unemployment Hotline" out via my own Buddyhead Records. I always just trip out how good his lyrics and how much I relate with em, like despite still being in his early twenties Jay Cinema is wise way beyond his years. The high point of this one is definitely "Fast Forward" for me. And honestly my only gripe with this five song release is the same complaint I have with every one of his releases, it's just not long enough. I am heavily anticipating a proper full length from this true original artist and know he's headed for great things.

Me and Axl give this a rating of GOOD:

Gabriela Triste

“Frutsi!/Domingo” 7-inch

Normandie Records

Out via Los Angeles independent label you should know, Normandie Records. This slab of wax is Salvadoran artist Gabriela Triste’s vinyl debut and it's pretty damn good one at that. This is some very fucking exceptional indie latin pop, you’d be hard pressed to find better. Since i first heard this record I haven’t been able to get these songs out of my head and I’m ok with it. I find myself random singing "Labios rojos como frutsi de cereza" and I don't even speak Spanish... yet. Two certified and bonafide bangers on a beautiful lathe cut 7 inch that you should order from Normandie Records here.
