Song of the Day

Flatlinerz - "Live Evil"
Happy Halloween, y'all. Here's the first single from the Flatlinerz 1994 album U.S.A. The album dropped the same year as fellow Horrorcore group The Gravediggaz who released the classic 6 Feet Deep. Horrorcore was a fun little sub genre with groups like Flatlinerz, Gravediggaz and Half-Pit, Half-Dead back during the golden age of hip-hop in the mid-90's.

Song of the Day

Goodie Mob - "Father Time"
Goodie Mob's Age Against The Machine has been growing on me more and more recently. It's not Soul Food and it does have some missteps, but the highlights on the album are enough to really stand out. On "Father Time" all four MCs go in over a great sample (which is from a movie that I can't put my finger on and it's driving me nuts!) and deliver commentary on their place in hip-hop with no hook or cheap attempt at radio spins. It's the type of song you'd expect from Goodie and it delivers in full force. Happy to have the Mob back together again.

Song of the Day

Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire feat. Chance The Rapper - "Untitled"
Saw this pairing and had to hear it immediately. Really enjoyed Chance The Rapper's "Acid Rap" mixtape. He's an acquired taste, but I find his style to be unique and enjoyable. As for eXquire, I'm a big fan, so I was happy to see him putting out new material. This song sounds more like it would've been on "Acid Rap" than eXquire's Kismet. Dope regardless.
