I’m probably a little late to the game with these guys considering they’ve been around since 2009, but I’m here now and that’s what matters, right? I don’t actually remember how I chanced upon these dudes a couple of weeks ago but once I heard this song I was immediately drawn in to their easy, breezy hip hop style that you want to play when the sun is shining. Their music has that same happy go lucky charm, reminiscent of Rizzle Kicks for me, a band I wish still made music together.
When I hear this song, and many of their other ones too, I feel a sort of easiness I wish I could live in forever. It transports me to a Brooklyn rooftop (I can picture just the one) on a summer evening, you have some of your best people over, a few beers in or maybe a couple of glasses or wine, there’s chips and guac, someone brought brownies (edible or not i’ll leave that up to you to decide), someone else got some summer berries, or a watermelon maybe, and you pause to look around because you can just feel the love around you. For that one moment you aren’t worrying about anything despite the kind of day or week you might’ve been having prior. It might sound cliche but in that moment things are easy and you’re just taking it all in - you can see the city in the distance and all you can think of are all the moments that brought you here - the good and the bad.
Maybe it’s just me, but I like how this song makes me feel and how these dude helped take me to such a specific moment in time.
