Golden Oldies…

 

Someone is confident when they can poke holes in themselves. The quickest MC to 8 Mile yourself is the inevitable winner, right? Your favorite artist ages, as do you. That looks unique to us all; for me, it’s slowing down, not giving a shit about what’s hot, returning back to my classics, and inevitably, proof your body has experienced a passage of time.

“Golden Oldies” is an ode to owning your age in a soulful, smooth hip hop number care of R.A. The Rugged Man and Slug of veteran duo Atmosphere while Eamon – perhaps taking place of Nate Dogg- invigorates this old man tale through his emotive hook. Each MC spits what their old man tendencies are; “I’m not trying to dance to trap music or dubstep, I’m the old man in the club with a headache upset,” admits R.A, while Slug sincerely rhymes, “Laid down for a nap first, then I took the stage, my back hurt, my skin looked like suede..”. Yea, I feel you, guys…

Thanks, Spotify for providing a curated playlist of new releases that are aurally sound to my ears. This will provide a push for me to write again, share my scatterbrained thoughts on music, and provide a slice of sanity in these current times. It’s been a minute, and times sure ain’t the same; thankfully, music is formidably pushing me through this surreal era of ours.
