Picked up a nice bunch of CDs from Value Village today. Very excited to listen to the stuff I know, but especially the stuff I don’t know.
My favourite pickup is for sure the Corinne Bailey Rae, super stoked! Never have seen her mentioned by anyone where we live at in the suburbs, first introduction to her was through People’s Choice, thanks to whoever made that suggestion 👌🏼
Another one that I’m happy about is the Ryuichi Sakamoto CD. Haven’t heard the album, but b...

This new track from Skrilla and Boat is dumb hard 😭 so many quotables. For sure one of my favourite collab singles of the year. Not to mention, the video is dope as well. They both have a certain type of effortless swag.

Hailing from Virginia Beach, smokedope2016 wears his influences on his sleeve—Clams Casino, Lil B, Joeyy, Bladee, Lil Peep—but adds new ingredients into the mix. THE PEAK is a visceral experience that takes you into a hazy higher place, balancing nostalgia for the early cloud-rap era with a sharper, modern edge.
His work keeps the 2016 energy alive: lo-fi, internet-born, and emotionally raw. Others see him as one of the few still pushing that vaporous Sound...

We were both psyched to finally hear The Infamous. The authenticity of this dynamic duo is gripping, and the beats proved to be amazing examples of "less is more" - Dad

Been getting a stretch of bad weather here in Vancouver, BC. I was hoping to record this week’s People’s Choice outside, since it's a summer theme, but it’s looking like it won’t clear up until early next week. So the upload will be out next Friday instead — thanks for your patience!

I just absolutely love this track! Their voices complement each other's so well, they just float overtop of that vibe. Kali kills her verse, vocally and lyrically. What are your thoughts on this one?

In this episode, we dive into a bunch of Hawaiian songs — falsetto, slack key, and some classics too. My dad opens up about his connection to Hawaii, which a lot of people don’t know about through the channel. This one means a lot to him. Hope you enjoy the reaction and let us know your thoughts on some of the music!
