Rookies Younger Posse have made a reputation for themselves with quirky hip-hop tracks and weird music movies with dangerous inexperienced display screen results. New single Ate That leans into each facets however stands as their finest try but, embracing a full throated G-funk beat.
I’ve an enormous smooth spot for 90’s hip-hop, notably when underlined by car-shaking grooves and funk-inspired synth. Ate That is clearly appropriative and appears to comprehend it, and that’s been a problematic facet of Younger Posse’s music from the beginning. It requires some degree of cultural blinders from its listeners. Eradicating that facet from the dialog, Younger Posse are at their finest when performing goofy but concurrently taking the music itself fairly critically. Ate That strikes this steadiness, merging a foolish counted hook to an especially credible instrumental that injects a way of enjoyable again into Okay-hip-hop.
I can’t stress sufficient how a lot I like Ate That‘s manufacturing. In a market at the moment slowed down by subdued beats and two minute songs, it’s so refreshing to listen to a monitor that feels prefer it’s actively attempting. The tune itself doesn’t supply many killer punches, however that nearly doesn’t matter when the beat is so addicting and absolutely fleshed out. I’d love to listen to Younger Posse proceed down this route, mining the perfect concepts from the previous and injecting their very own fashionable contact.
(Sadly, the audio within the official music video add may be very distorted, so I’m additionally embedding the album model for comparability)
