Gregory The A'ight

I remember this so much.

Got that Sicilian in me, lol.

...al dente is key.

Also, you have to stay near it and stir every couple of minutes.

And when it's done... let it be done.

Immediately drain and rinse with non-boiling water so it stops cooking.

Anyway, I 100% agree with you.

‘Your Queen Is A Reptile’ and the Mobo winning "Black Is The Future", both by Sons of Kemet. He recently, worked with LA electronic maestro Daedelus on the critically acclaimed LP, "Holy Water Over Sons"

Joshua Idehen is a British-born Nigerian based in Sweden. A spoken word artist and

...

One more album in this vein out today, which I'll get to in a bit.

Joshua Idenhen with an album title that has already stolen my breath.

Ready?

I know you’re hurting, everyone is hurting, everyone is trying, you have got to try.

Kind of mind-blowing.

He taught himself to play a specific and apparently finicky Japanese style flute, and also production and mixing.

This is what he came up with after almost 2 years of intentionally putting down his saxophone.

And yeah, ‘Of the Earth’ was entirely written, produced, performed, and mixed by Shabaka.

From his bandcamp:

“I’ve never rapped before but was actually inspired by André 3000’s courage in exploring new dimensions with fearlessness and sincerity; I decided to find my voice on this album”.

Poetry.

Also?

Shabaka hi.self says that he was inspired to spit bars given 3 Stacks' courage to go out and make the album he did!

Game recognizing game.

Honestly, and I still dig that Andre 3000 flute album. I do.

This?

This transcends and levels up to the far reaches of the known universe.

Because Hutchins has also become an upper echelon producer and engineer too.

Seeped in history, ancestral machinations, ecstasy, and the healing power of movement.

Coming back.

Not a space odyssey.

Psychedelic ambient Jazzy Earth odyssey.

He says it right in the title, lol.

Nevertheless, this Shabaka album is A-level.

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

[SchadenTate intensifies]

Schadentate

In my veins lmao

Pack a bong with it.

FAFO at its purest.

You love to see it.

If you have a little more time and the space to process... Shabaka out today with "Of the Earth."

Not video game, but a psychedelic ambient jazzy space odyssey.

Addendum: actually, you only need 13:21.

Out goddam standing through headphones, as you might imagine.

Did you ever wonder, "What if Flying Lotus did the music for a video game, but like... started in 8 bit, then transformed to 16 bit, then through 2026 and into the future?

...right?

But like, you only have a smooth 17 minutes free?

...well fren.

Have I got the EP for you.

Out today.

BIG MAMA.

You're a fucking antisemite and I wish you nothing but bad luck and emotional misery.

I literally only care about the 53 humans who voted Nay.

Everyone else?

IDGAF what happens to them.

Imagine writing, as a professional writer, a headline so horrible so as to anthropomorphize white supremacist racist slurs and rhetoric, rather than claim Republican humans... predominantly, of course, white, and certainly zero Black or Jewish... said/wrote the violent language.

Actual headline published by the Tew Nork Yimes:

"Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida.

After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people."

They do not.

And Amen, brother.

Especially given that in Iran they do not wear Burqa in the general public... Complete Orientalist take of a situation that is dramatic and in which US is at serious fault.
