ground zero for lo-fi hip hop. this was my everything in 2016. Some people may listen and think eh i've heard it all before but it's special to me ok. The samples he used on this were like a rosetta stone to so much other culture; Bjรถrk, Chet Baker, Cowboy Bebop, so random but like THANK YOU dude.
2016 album. Kind of the โlow-fi hip hopโ vibe but less lazy sounding. Amazing collection of tracks/samples. Almost all songs are 1 min or less. Certified good classic.
Fav Tracks:
-Smoking at Midnight
-The Girl Next Door
-So in Luv
-Emotional Crank (random Soulja sample always makes me laugh)
here's a very cool compilation album i really like !! i love howie B, definitely check out the rest of his stuff if you haven't already. others: DJ shadow, UNKLE, major force west, kruder & dorfmeister's g-stoned, zimbabwe legit, 9 lazy 9, red snapper....... i could go on and on about trip hop lol
this album is packed full of samples and splices of recordings of life and it creates this very dense and layered tapestry of the sounds of life of a young british-nigerian in south london. sometimes it feels like he pushes a bit too far but overall a really good project.
Cooking and eating with people is possibly the most lindy activity of them all. Everyone needs to eat and at least one person likes to cook. very spiritually fulfilling
