300SkullsAndCounting / Jenny Sparks: THIS IS SPA TOWN! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to Pitchfork.com review No. 8,333 on a self-loathing white dude documenting his love-hate relationship with his boring-as-shit but quaint hometown. Up to the plate is 300SkullsAndCounting, aka Hal Hewetson, a twentysomething from Warwick out in the middle of England who has been dropping hard-to-categorize bedroom screamo made with the unchecked curiosity I tend to associate with pandemic-era hyperpop and rave-ready internet rap. Click around his SoundCloud page and you might land on a M
Lovânee: âAnonymatâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As much as I fuck with all of the madcap sounds coming out of the West Indies at the moment, the laid-back shatta tunes Lovânee has been pumping out lately are my sweet spot. Sheâs been popping in Martinique for a while now with melodic rap that sheâs described as equally influenced by Lauryn Hill and Jocelyne Béroard, the heart of the legendary zouk band Kassavâ, but with producer DJ Jyz, sheâs locked into a midtempo groove thatâs simultaneously traditional and of the times. On â
Beyoncé: BâDAY (20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The weirdest song in the entire Beyoncé catalog might just be âDaddy,â the tender finale to her massive 2003 debut album, Dangerously in Love. Originally a hidden track, for good reason, the hook of the piano ballad goes like this: âI want my unborn son to be like my daddy/I want my husband to be like my daddy.â Yeah, the Knowles fam was tripping. The âDaddyâ lyrics might give you the heebie jeebies, but the real problem is that, over 20 years later, I still canât tell if it was a
Donât Call iKeda a Pop Star: âItâs a Bit Cringeâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Call me biased, but I believe a lot of the most fun music out right now is of or has roots in the Caribbean. Iâm talking everything from the bouyon sceneâcatch me listening to Signal Bandâs âSpend Datâ remix on the regularâto the infectious riddims bubbling in Trinidad to the South Florida rappers sending up their Haitian heritage to all of the artists modernizing classic reggae and dancehall. Thatâs probably why iKedaâs âGo!â has been in my rotation latelyâit sounds like a
Glizzy Glow: Trench Baddie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To various degrees, Chicago has been rapping over booty music forever. In the 1990s, Crucial Conflict were getting their hip-hop hoedown on with juke rhythms and tempos to go with their bugged-out flows. Meanwhile, DJ Deeon was dropping throbbing ghettohouse singles that sometimes felt like freaky, diced-up Three 6 Mafia jams. DJ L, one of the pioneers of early 2010s Chicago drill production, never fails to mention that the hard bass kicks and pulsating beats were some footwork shit. Years ago h
