The site is looking a little dry lately, so I guess it’s time to break out another Notable Tracks post. This is where I gather 3 to 4 songs, sometimes with a theme, and other times, they are just new discoveries for me (I already explained what this edition is for). Let’s get into it.
I’ve kinda been sleeping on ScHoolboy Q‘s latest album, Blue Lips. I haven’t really given the project a close listen, and we haven’t posted anything from the album yet. This changes things with this unofficial remix of ScHoolboy Q’s “THank god 4 me” by Uncle Kizzy (Alternatively title “tHkGoD4mE.”). It uses beats from Jodeci’s “What About Us” and Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’.” It sounds way better than me explaining it, so check it out for yourself.
You know what’s a great thing to hear when a song comes on? “Conductor, we have a problem!” Yeah, Conductor Williams handles production and steals the show on Jabee‘s “Hear Me When I Pray,” but the rapper doesn’t disappoint either. I’m also a big fan of sampling soulful gospel songs in hip-hop. This track is a problem.
According to the internet, Lil Uzi Vert had the beat from Kendrick Lamar’s “Rigamortis” first and absolutely went off on it. (This was supposedly back in 2012, and I say “supposedly” because, well, the internet.) While songs like “Just Wanna Rock” or “XO Tour Llif3” are what Uzi’s known for, I prefer this or whatever he was doing on “Free Uzi.”
