Co. Fee


I just heard something I really like.

I like boom bap hip hop the best, and I mean straight beats, not the soul stagger that Donuts sent around the world. That's why it took me a little bit to warm up to the sounds of the new beat scene that has a de facto world HQ in LA. Believe me, I am plenty warm now. But I heard something today that would have given the old me an instant y'know-one-of-those.

Co. Fee just dropped his album Easy Listening on My Hollow Drum, and it's a series of straight, hard beats. The sounds have texture, likening them to the Oizo-esque sounds of Flying Lotus and many others, but the loops are un0-shuffled. Straight, really hard beats. That's refreshing as fuck.
