As an avid listener of many of the names listed here, I can say this article rings true. Wonderfully put. Many of the themes and mantras I’ve picked up since listening to Spitta as a teen have followed me into adulthood. A guiding light if you will. It’s not all about the shine. But definitely if you’re on your grind it’ll shine you up like finely polished silver.
Yep, exactly that - grind til you shine. Spitta was probably my first intro to the wave, he dropped so many gems, especially on those earlier projects like Pilot Talk
So well written!! The music they’ve created motivates and inspires me. They also connect to part of my unwavering confidence and love of self. Love to see them acknowledge and SEEN correctly. West side isn’t just a coke writer he creates art, connects you to a story whether you lived or not, and makes you think. Larry June is just chef kiss 🧑🏾🍳 and this collab with 2 chains not only cemented that but showed me that 2 Chains still carries that Titty Boy essence. This albums have been in heavy rotation. Stove God, Ik you’ll be writing about him soon if you haven’t already lol.
So well put… I always think the artist who wind up with lasting cultural relevancy (both in their craft and in different sectors of pop culture tbh) are the ones who find that sweet spot where observation and authenticity meet.
