Man what the hell did I stumble upon digging through YouTube.
"Taste the biscuit, taste the goodness of the honey sauce.". π
Taste the Biscuit - Toasters 'N' Moose
Maybe you don't fully dig D&B.
Punish My Love - Delta Heavy (2015) is a good middle ground or D&B lite song with a cool lol video. It's also catchy AF.
Give it a chance if you've never heard anything from Delta Heavy.
If you are a fan of rap in any shape form or fashion and you haven't heard the Walkin remix from Denzel Curry and Key Glock - DO. IT. NOW.
This song is nuclear fire.
Walkin (Remix) - Denzel Curry f. Key Glock (2022)
I do enjoy when someone makes a quality cover that isn't just a note for note remake.
Love on A Real Train (State Azure cover) - Tangerine Dream
Son of Yvonne is a wonderful song that falls under the radar when people list great rap songs that honor mothers and mother figures.
You've heard Dear Mama by Tupac dozens of times. Mix it up some this year.
Son of Yvonne - Master Ace - Son of Yvonne (2012)
Your periodic reminder that for all the disdain electronic music can get, few songs can match (Finished) Symphony by Hybrid (1996?!!).
It's just a masterclass in playing with a similar structure and subverting expectations until the payoff at 7:15ish.
All these years later, it's not much that can stand shoulder to shoulder with this monumental track.
If you have any interest in electronic music and have never heard this, do yourself a favor and fix that.
It's a lot of rappers out there who should be embarrassed this morning because Pusha T made a commercial for Arby's that goes harder than entire discographies.

On Twitter, there's talk about the best female rap verse and/or best female rapper.
One name is left off the list repeatly. Mia-X.
Say what you will about the south and No Limit Records, but if you've never heard her verse on this song, it starts at 2:39ish.
Master P f. Mia-X - Bout It Bout It II - Mr Ice Cream Man (1996)
It occurs to me I have never sang the praises of Icebird's The Abandoned Lullaby on #cosomusic
Wander is a tough song to describe. So give it a chance. Aaron Livingston has this amazing and raspy voice that's perfect and amazing.
Wander - Icebird - The Abandoned Lullaby (2011)
Now it's been a few years since it was popular, I recommend you go back and watch the Let It Go scene from Frozen.
My God, I forgot just how good the audio/visual combination was. The animated sequence is just as well done as the song, which is saying something.
If I ever could look back on my life and say I was part of something this special, I'd be awful proud.
Let It Go - Frozen OST - Idina Menzel - 2013
You need something that has a real jazzy feel with just a touch of hip-hop swag today?
I got you fam.
Turning Me Up - BJ The Chicago Kid - In My Mind (2016)
So the rain is making the meat smoking not go great but the booze encouragement... Well.
I'd say it's getting me off to a great start this morning.
Your #cosomusic challenge of the day.
Name a better overall year for music than 1995.
'95 was absolutely stacked across the board. Hers the top 25 for Pop, Rock, R&B/Hip-Hop, and Country.
My favorite thing about crate digging cheap used CDs and taking chances is that you stumble across gold more often than you'd think. And if you don't, it's just $2.
This, is that pure unfiltered gold.
Listen to this *now* and rock out. (There is an f bomb so maybe not in front of your boss).
Saturday Fantastic - Diamond Nights - Popsicle (2005)
Fab is nothing else if not consistent. Forgot about this one for a year and it's going back into rotation ASAP.
Gone for the summer - Fabolous - Summertime Shootout 3, Coldest Summer Ever (2019)
Because I'm still just a big ol kid who makes potty jokes.
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
If you were the target audience to see this commercial 3 - 6x per night from 10PM -2:30AM you are my people and we need to be friends.
Also I still know all the words 12 years later.
Continuing with the Freddie Gibbs love:
@White_Rabbit this one is up your alley.
Big Boss Rabbit - Freddie Gibbs - Big Boss Rabbit (2021)
Freddie Gibbs is the best rapper in the game right now, and I'll keep saying it until everyone believes me.
If rap ain't your thing, Nightrider is proof that you can make a banger without the same boring drum fills.
And also that baseline. πππ
Nightrider - Tom Misch & Youssef Dayes f. Freddie Gibbs - What Kind of Music (2020)
USMC Vet and dad. Sarcastic with a side of sweet and sour sauce.
