Waited 20 years to drop the deluxe on us. I just wanted to note the French Montana album that got pushed back to May 22nd.

Okay. Thank you.

Don't know why. I didn't need it this week anyways.

Yeah, definitely didn't need it this week.

I do feel for French. Anyways, it's better to let it breathe anyways cuz I feel like we just got a lot of French and Mac. So, I mean, I appreciate the extra month.

Cool. So, let's get on to the picks for this week. I'll kick it off with Nissan with Method Acting. Nissan is a Detroit rapper. He is the son of Proof, the late Proof. But—

Oh, I did not know that. Did not know that.

He doesn't really ever bring it up. I've only ever heard that from other people pointing it out. So, he's being very purposeful about not being a Nepo baby.

Which is respectful about the mud. Yeah.

Yeah. And he actually has a lot of relationships with big Detroit rappers that he didn't tap for this project. He's worked with Royce Da 5'9". He's worked with Big Sean. But we did get a Bruiser Wolf feature. So, he did at least tap one bigger Detroit artist.

That's really respectable cuz having your dad as Proof, like you can probably, I mean if you wanted to be that person, he can get Eminem on something if that's, you know, they had a relationship. So, it's like that's really respectable that he's not going and using his name to get all that stuff. I honestly had no idea that he was a son. No idea at all.

Yeah.

But yeah, you're right. On the last album there was Royce, uh, Baby Tron, I swear Bezo.

Oh, so he got a Royce feature. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, he's worked with him a few times.

Now that I know, man, I mean, yeah, I want to check him out.

I checked his album just cuz you guys had mentioned it, but I went back to like check the other one and it's a nice little small—I love when artists like that you just discover have a small catalog. You can get through it in just, you know, two, three hours. It's a solid album.

Yeah. Standout tracks: "To My Name," the very first song, it tells his story coming up as a rapper. And then the very last song, "Stay Blessed," seemed like he started and ended with the perfect songs. So, that was really good. And then there's one song, "Need That," doesn't sound like any other beat on the project. It sounds like Baby Tron 80s synth side of Detroit rap that we mentioned a few episodes ago.

Mhm.

That was kind of an interesting jump from the rest of the album sonically, but overall it was really solid. I really liked it. Nissan with Method Acting. Terry, you want to do a pick?

Let's do Cadence Weapon, Forager. So, this is one of the artists that you had recommended that I listen to out of this week and I haven't heard him before, and one thing that I was blown away by, like—oh, no. Okay, cool. So, one thing that I loved about him is that this man has his own authentic style, which is a breath of fresh air. He's not trying to sound like anybody else. Even his rhyme cadence and just in terms of like how he'll use words and how he'll structure his rhymes was so unique. So, going through this project, even his beat selection as an artist, this was an inspiring project. Putting out something like this where everybody tries to sound like everybody else. Like we had this conversation last week where there's so many artists out there who are imitating what's popular, but then you get a guy like this who's walking into his own and doing his own thing. He only has about 2,000 subscribers or so, but he's carrying his own weight, man. The project was dope. I think my favorite song on here was "Line Dry." I like "Step Out, Barabus." Yeah. An artist that I haven't heard before. Like the production on it was really dope.

You know what's cool is it's not that long of an album, but I had a completely different list of standout tracks. So, mine were "Honest 501X" and "Toronto Zoo."

Okay.

That's cool that we both liked it, but picked totally different favorite songs. I think it was pretty versatile.

Yeah.

The lyrics have like this ongoing theme of thrift shopping to find these really unique pieces.

Yeah, like fun.

He kept bringing up these coats and like all of these different coats. It made me want to step out again, like, damn, maybe I should step on my coat game.

Yeah.

Yeah. I thought it was interesting, like some lines even paint his life to be more about fashion than rapping. And the rapping is just kind of like serving to give us a look into the fashion world and his work there. And it's like specifically thrifted clothes, old clothes, like not high fashion or luxury brands, but he's got these funny lines about how old the previous owners of his clothes are by now. Like he has this one, he's talking about the last owner of these jeans watched the moon landing.

That's crazy.

Just funny stuff like that.

I've been seeing him a lot just cuz he's Canadian and he gets a lot of media outlet coverage. So he gets covered a lot by, um, like our big media is CBC. He gets a few articles here and there and so I've been seeing his name kind of pop around. But he seems like he really lives what he's talking about. I know when Macklemore had the "Thrift Shop" song, that was a lot of people's, like—

Corny.

Yeah. You know, half the people were like, "Oh yeah, it's great." And the other half were like, "Okay, but like I actually go through thrift shops." Like, I know this guy just, he's living it.

Right? Yeah. I mean, I like that he doesn't rap about being a rapper. He just, he lives an interesting life and he uses rap to talk about his interests.

I think that's a great way to be an artist.

And it translates really good over to the music, man. It really makes him stand out in his own light.

And he's funny.

Yeah.

It's like, you know, you want a bit of that humor especially nowadays. You don't, you know, where some people are getting tired of the trap and the "I'm selling drugs and I shot this guy," and you know, it's a breath of fresh air.

Yeah. [expletive] this [expletive] and his [expletive] and all this.

And I wouldn't call it comedy rap. Like it's not like every bar is specifically a joke, but there are a lot of those in it. You know—

He's just witty.

That's it. That's it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nice one, Cadence. Nice one. You knocked this one out the park. I enjoyed this project.

Me, too. It's produced by Junior T as well. Big Toronto producer.

Oh, okay. I never heard the name before. Nice.

Dope.

Matt's got us tapped in on the Canadian side of rap.

Oh, yes.

What's the Canadian tuxedo where it's like all denim and—

Yeah, basically. Honestly, I feel like to me, I grew up seeing a lot of that, so I didn't think it was different until like years later I was like, "Oh, okay. Yeah, it's not normal for people to wear all denim." Get it? Like—

Yeah, there's a lot of denim here. Definitely a lot of denim.

So, that was Cadence Weapon and Junior T with Forager.

Yeah.

You want to do a pick, Matt?

Yeah. So, I'll throw in the new Harry Fraud, Wiz and Currency album. I don't have much to say about it because we've heard a lot of Wiz Khalifa and a lot of Currency, but it's Harry Fraud and there is no better way to feel like you're floating in your chair than to listen to a Harry Fraud beat. I'll be honest, the first time I heard the album, I did not listen to anything that Wiz or Currency had to say. The beats are so nice. They make you feel like you're just like levitating. And the second time, you know, I started hearing the bars and like as usual, Wiz, you know, melodic, can rap, great hooks. Currency, same thing, could rap, you know, but to me, what stands out is Harry Fraud as always.

The production was fire on this, you know, the production was fire.

Yeah, that was a standout for sure.

Yeah, like you said, the beats were dope. Being honest—so I've heard some Harry Fraud, but I never actively followed him. And then like to hear this music, I like Harry Fraud, like, "Oh yeah, that's this guy." So, yeah, know the production time, Harry Fraud.

It's probably the oldest tag I can remember. It's probably my first instance of recognizing a tag and knowing like what that even was.

He's made albums with people that I would never enjoy those albums from those people, but with him, it's just different. There's a few Harry Fraud and French Montana tapes, and I've enjoyed every single one of them. I know that I can enjoy a French album like that, but it's just the Harry production really. And I don't know how expensive it is with the sample clearance because every beat is an entire sample from top to bottom, but he manages to still be at it. So, someone's financing it.

Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, they can afford it between the two of them. No problem.

How long has he been producing for?

Probably 20 years.

Good question.

Damn. I can't believe—okay.

Like I was just checking on the Wikipedia and basically it's 2009, but it's like one song on a French Montana album, another song, another album, then slowly it's like, oh, now he gets three songs on a French album, then there's five songs on a French album, then he gets an entire album, and up until 2011 it's pretty much all French.

Okay.

And then after that he goes on to do Wiz Khalifa, Fat Trel, Chevy Woods, some MMG stuff.

Okay. Dope. You see kids, that's why we tune in to the Friday to Friday podcast so you can get put on.

That's correct.

All right. Yeah, I'm gonna check out some more of his stuff.

He's worked with some of the biggest artists in the world.

I love his style, especially those drumless beats, man. Those are—I'm glad to see a resurgence of that style. It's fresh. I guess I've been, you know, when you've been hearing trap drums for the past five, eight years, you know, to have this style resurface with these bigger artists is a, um, breath of fresh air, man. I enjoyed it.

And Harry Fraud always stands out, I find, whenever he does anything.

Yeah. I don't know if you had more to say on it, but I was going to go to that Rosco P because that project, first time I heard Rosco P, uh, Cold Chain, and this dude spazzed on this project. I played this back a couple of times. Like he went crazy.

It's actually a perfect segue because Nicholas Craven is a great example of someone who's in the same lane as Harry Fraud, right? With the sample-heavy and—

Yeah, totally. Let's talk about Rosco P Cold Chain produced by Nicholas Craven with Play with Something Safe.

Yeah.

Yep. We talked about Nicholas Craven a lot on the podcast, but it's not for no reason cuz he's been extremely consistent. I mean, I listen to so many albums every week and Nicholas Craven keeps making the cut every time he drops. This is another very solid project from him and he knows how to make—obviously knows how to make great beats. But his secret is also dropping consistently and just picking the right rappers to do these full-length projects with.

Yeah.

You mentioned you hadn't heard about Rosco before. So he just—I think he did, uh, 15 years in prison. He's on a Clipse album, well, back when the Clipse was putting out albums. So, like early 2000s. Yeah.

Lord Willin'. I'm gonna have to go and check. Okay. Um, Lord Willin', the first one.

Yeah. But like the song he's on with Clipse, it's called "Hot Damn," wait. Was that the, um, "God damn," that one?

Neptunes.

Oh, that shit's my—that's crazy. That's crazy cuz that song is fire.

That's Neptunes, like—yeah.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Okay.

That's a legendary song.

Yeah. That's crazy. Okay. Rosco. So, yeah. Rosco, he know what he doing.

He know what he doing.

Damn, that's crazy.

Is he from Virginia as well? Is that why he's tied in with those guys?

Oh, he's from North Philadelphia.

Okay.

Yeah, I like this project a lot. The standout tracks for me were "Hold My Hand," "Frankenstein," and "Magnesium Chloride." I like that one a lot, too. And then "Die Slow" features Bruiser Wolf. Again, second, uh, Bruiser Wolf feature of the week.

He's been popping.

Another one of those rappers that feels like basically every week we have a feature from or a project.

He's been popping up a lot, man. And he sounded really good on this "Die Slow." And I want to say he's definitely working like more active because I don't feel like the previous years he was as active, like not doing a full album then features every week like that. He's been popping up. He's been heading—

And on good projects that'll give him good looks too. Like Nick Craven right now.

You have, uh, especially like he's from here in Montreal. So like he's just willing to put in the work and hang out with the people and do the work with the people. Like I, um, I might be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure that, um, like him and Baldi hung out and made hundreds of songs together to make those projects together. Like he definitely just looks like he just wants to work, and if an artist is willing to work, he'll do it.

That's dope. Those are the best relationships, man. When it's just all about the music and you can just lock in and just create back to back to back to back to back to back.

And not every artist wants to do that.

That's how it should be though. Like that's the essence of it. It's just like with basketball, like there's so many athletes who get in because they're good at it and then you arrive and then you kind of just stop, you know, fall in love. It's not the same. You get the money and all of that stuff, but the athletes who actually love the game, who put in the time, man, you can just see it when they play. And so it's working for him, man. Like I said, salute. One of my favorites off here is "Refined." Like that beat, like that soul, that smoothness, man. This project was dope. I think whoever seen me driving in the car was like, "What's wrong?" Because "Stefase" and all of that, just head bobbing like this, like, check out this project. This one was dope. This was a heater.

And I'd love to know more about how these guys are capable of putting together so many samples. Like I know that now there are some websites where you can shop samples and like the licensing is all there and the information is all there, because like to me, like doing 10 songs where 10 songs are at least 10 samples if not double the amount, that sounds like a stressful amount of paperwork. But I mean Nick put out like, I think it's like the fourth project this year, you know, so I mean clearly there must not be that much paperwork, or maybe he's really good at it. And I'm hoping too that maybe, you know, some people get to get paid that maybe weren't paid before. Maybe, you know, some of these samples were not successful songs in their time, maybe. But, uh, yeah, I got to start looking more into the samples and going back to the old songs and checking them out.

Yeah, Nicholas Craven, very impressive sampling style producer. Rosco P Cold Chain, welcome back. Excellent project. Play with Something Safe. Uh, next I want to talk about Aday with Always Love. This is an album by a lesser-known artist, Aday. He's a really amazing songwriter, amazing lyrics. He can sing and rap both at a super high level. This really caught me by surprise. I like to check out random projects from smaller artists that I've never heard of because you never know when you're going to find a gem like this.

Yeah.

Every song references the word love. It's kind of like a light concept album. I mean, obviously that's not like a unique concept, but it's executed uniquely and it's executed beautifully. And lastly, I'll just say I don't have any standout tracks for this because it's short and sweet and every song is there for a reason and there's no skips. This threw me by surprise and I really loved Aday, Always Love.

Yeah, this is another one that you personally was like, "Yo, check this one out." I like the spiritual concept, you know, included in the beginning where they break down love and then how it flows throughout the rest of the song. You have love at first sight. One of my favorites is "Still in Love" cuz I didn't—I went into this like expecting a hip-hop album throughout and then to hear this guy sing, cuz when I first heard sing I'm all like, "All right, maybe he has a feature," and then it's him singing. So, I'm like, "Oh no. This dude is dope. This dude has skills." I'm excited to see what he does next. This is somebody who I'm going to follow. I'm curious to see what he continues to create going forward. This project was dope. I just seen that he had Raheem DeVaughn on here, too. Neo Soul artist who's [expletive] talented. So, this was a dope listen.

Yeah. No skips. This thing is super strong. Not a lot of people can really do both at like an equally high level, but he can rap as well as he can sing. It's pretty amazing.

Yeah. Really good tone. Not like crooning, like actually singing, which is—and he even mentioned it, like, and I think it was the first or the second track, but he mentions like growing up in the church and singing in the church and then converting it over to his music. You know, as somebody who shared that same experience, you know, a lot of musicians, you know, started in the church, learned our chops in the church, and then, you know, as you break into music you carry that over. So yeah, it was nice being able to connect and hear that and be able to be like, yeah, me too. But he can sing way better than I—I think you can sing better than 99% of the planet for sure.

Yeah, that was Aday with Always Love. Do you guys have any more picks this week?

For me, the Akon one I wanted to mention.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Matt, you want to talk about Akon? Beautiful Day.

That Akon album is beautiful. Beautiful collection of songs. I went into it with no expectations. I did not know what to expect whatsoever. Even marketing-wise, the only thing I've seen recently from Akon was that video where I think his son made a song and Akon kind of just stands there looking like he's judging his son and it's like a funny video. And so when I saw that I felt like maybe something was on its way. But this project, honestly I don't even know what category to put it in because there's everything. There is dancehall vibes. There is, um, afrobeats vibes. There is—it's everything. And there's even like reggaeton vibes too. There is an Anuel feature. To me the standout song—there was a song called "Kalor." I don't know if I'm saying that properly, but that to me, I've had it on repeat. I had it on repeat for about three hours and it's phenomenal. Really, it is such a good song. It's a perfect fusion of, again, it's like reggaeton and kind of like afrobeats, like it has those log drums in the back. The production is just full, complete, just covers your whole ears. Every song has the convict tag, like the Konvict Music tag, and it's perfectly placed on each, like, it's perfect. That's really—it was a really exciting album. Honestly, it felt inspiring, too, just hearing, you know, Akon come out with that, just because again, I don't know what he's been doing really musically. I think everyone's heard of like his business ventures and everything, but yeah, honestly, I was really surprised. It's a good album. I think no matter what kind of music you like, you can at least get a couple of saves on here of songs that people would call like summer songs.

Oh, nice. Okay, nice. I'mma check it out, man. I'mma check it out.

So, that's Akon with Beautiful Day. I want to talk about a couple singles next. We got Vince Staples with "Blackberry Marmalade" single. It's his first single off his upcoming album, Crybaby. Not dropping till June 4th, but we've got that to look forward to. I'm a big fan of Vince Staples. This single was like heavy rock vibe. It was not what I was expecting at all. It was way different. It got me stoked for the album because personally, the last two Vince albums have been stagnant for me. I wasn't really a big fan, but this got me very excited and interested for Crybaby on June 4th.

Vince has always been very big on—he only does things when he wants to do them and when he's inspired to do them. And I know a lot of people are coming at him like the Netflix show didn't get renewed. And he was like, "No, I don't want to do another season." And I think that to me, this album, it's going to be him actually wanting to do something creative. And so I'm really excited to see what's gonna come because yeah, that single was so not what I expected at all, at all, at all.

Yeah, it starts off with four drum clicks—click click click click. I was like, I really had to double check the song.

Yeah.

He had a statement like actually addressing that. I was looking for it. I wanted to save it. I didn't save it. But he was just kind of speaking in terms of just like why he went that direction, just more so saying like, you know, the sound of rock like originated from black artists. So, and he's like, "No, this isn't something like—I'm not odd for doing this." Like, this is really—

This actually has lane.

Yeah, exactly.

That's an important point. Could be.

That's great. I want to look up that quote and get that full context because that's a great point. Rock and roll was black music first.

Now that you mentioned it, calling it odd is almost a problem in itself cuz it's like it shouldn't be odd, right?

And I think that actually that's great. I'm glad that we did that and then that Vince checked us on it because that's probably exactly what he wants to happen.

I mean, but that's—I just think like in terms of music, like that's how music should—this whole thing in terms of just like color and music, when music is free, music is flowing, like as long as you're respecting the art and you're respecting the craft, like, you know, rock out how you rock out, man.

And bottom line is also it sounded good. That's really what it comes down to is like, you know—

Dope ass song.

It was really well put together. I'm excited, man. I'm excited.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. That was Vince Staples with "Blackberry Marmalade" single. Next, I want to bring up the—I swear, Vezo and Rio da Young OG with "Pink Candy." Man, this beat, this hard ass vibe. I listened to this so many times this week. This is basically exactly what I'm looking for from this type of sound. This just gritty Detroit rap is just—I don't often do this, but I playlisted this the first time I heard it. I was just like, "Oh, immediately, what is this?" Yeah. And "Pink Candy" has been on—not on repeat cuz I'm not a weirdo like Matt and play the same song over and over again.

I definitely did that.

I did listen to it a lot this week.

Oh, burn a song, man. It's—

That's a repeat.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. 100%, 100%. And it'll be really random. There's just certain songs that itch a part of my brain. I'm not dissing her, but I don't listen to Billie Eilish much at all. But for some reason, the song "Birds of a Feather" was my—like I heard that song like a thousand times. I must have put on repeat for days on end. I don't know. I don't know what it is.

I could get like that, too. Like there's just something that you hear sonically that just resonates and you just want to hear it again. And what's the Wu record? I want to hear it again and again and again. Like—

Yeah, and like I looked into like music theory and the keys and everything, and yeah, like there are, especially in pop, there's a lot of pop formulas and keys that are made to be like really nice to hear over and over again. And so I was reading that like "Birds of a Feather" is like a very popular pop template that's applied on like a thousand songs for like replayability or whatever. I don't know, there's a formula behind it, but hey, if it works, it works.

That was—so that was going to be the question I was going to propose. Out of the releases we listen to this year, which song have you listened to the most?

Oh.

That's a great question actually.

Yeah, that is a great question.

Yeah, I'd say we should do questions like this more often.

I like this.

Who wants to go first?

"Empty Pages" by, um, Larry June. I don't know why, but I've listened to "Empty Pages" ever since that project has come out. Every week "Empty Pages" has come on, and it's funny, I still don't know Larry June's verse by heart. I know currently—he's Alchemist—but I still stumble on Larry's part. But that beat, man, the intro, how Alchemist chopped it like that, that shit's crazy. Got such a rapalong flow, I find, not in a bad way, it's just like, really has like verses that you can learn and follow along, you know, but in the best way possible.

Yeah, that smooth is just laid back, man.

Yeah. So, yeah, for me, "Empty Pages." I've been playing that thing—it's probably going to show up on my most played songs for my wrap-ups. I'm sure.

To me it was "Fetty" [expletive], right back to the first song off the Fetty album. That song has been on repeat every single day at least 30 minutes a day at least. I do not skip it. I use Spotify DJ, it comes on, I leave it on.

He let it fly through.

Just—oh man, everything about that beat, like, and especially, that was the first song on the Fetty album to come out the gate with something like that. Like it's such a good happy song. Oh man.

Yeah, that Xavier project was bad. Yeah.

I'm not mad at it.

I got to give it to "Helicopter" by ASAP Rocky.

Right? Yeah. That one, that's an addicting one.

It just got stuck in my head a lot and I would just like—a helicopter. I got to put that one on again now. Like every time—I've definitely repeated that one. There's a good like replayability to it.

A lot on that ASAP album. The first time I heard it, it was good, but there's a lot of songs now that I've like went back to quite a bit. There's a lot of replayability on that album.

Yeah, I agree with that for sure.

There's "Fleito Jodie." There's a few of them that just have that addicting kind of feel to it, which I'm happy with cuz ASAP Rocky is always—I'm always scared every time he announces an album cuz it's so like, you don't know which way it's going to go at all. Is it going to be fully experimental like, you know, Testing and there's some weird stuff on there, or is it going to be like LSD, like—

And there'll be some other weird stuff on there.

We'll see in four years with the next album.

I'm sure it'll be about four, five, six years.

Yeah. Unless the Drake issue comes out and then he has to come outside again. But no—

Iceman.

Oh yeah, Iceman comes out.

I kept seeing these like stupid memes of like there's like Drake coming out, Iceman, and then I saw this like obviously fake story of, well, Kendrick announced Fireman.

And then there was like just a bunch of them like, well, Kanye announced, you know, Grassman and Water. There was like this whole like lineup of just—

Did you see the leak track list? They had one where they—

Oh my god.

Yeah. Kendrick hurt me. Jay-Z hurt me. Pusha hurt me.

Oh man. I'm listening to Iceman. Yeah. I'mma listen to Iceman. I'mma listen to it. I'm pretty sure it's long enough that I'll listen to it at this point.

Yeah. I'mma check it out.

I'm—yeah, that and TDE and whatever affiliates this year. I feel like it's going to be such an active year on both camps. I mean, I don't know how much more OVO can drop. I don't think PARTYNEXTDOOR has another album in him, but that was a fun question. Uh yeah, we should do more stuff like that going forward.

Um, I did just want to give a quick shout out to two albums real quick. Young and So Sle and Boss Land Chris album. And then also there's the Warhol SS and B6 album. Both of those were like more hype albums that I enjoyed, but I just was more in the mood for like chill hip-hop boom bap [expletive] this week. So, I didn't listen to them enough to really have much to say besides check them out if you're looking for like trap drill party music from this week. The Young and So Sle and Boss Land Chris album and the Warhol SS and B6 albums were good for that. And uh, I think that's all of our picks for this week. Do you guys ready to get into plugs?

Um, yeah, let's do it.

That's our plugs jingle. For, uh, my plugs this week, uh, I'm just going to shout out a couple tracks that I mixed and mastered. One for an artist named K2 Real and another for an artist named A Snakeo that I work with often. And uh, that's all I had going on this week. You can always check me out at Frequency Overflow everywhere or check out our beats and loop kits at frequencyoverflow.com. What about you, Matt?

You can check out my artist Lucius B Thundercat. Uh, that's the artist I currently manage. And you can check out as well, uh, I have a beat store. Look up Matt Kerier. Yeah, got a couple beats on there. And then other than that, uh, you can look up Silk Velvet Records as well. Uh, so that's my tags across social medias and you'll find some more music, uh, by my artists on there as well.

Dope.

Nice.

What about you, Terry?

Yeah, follow me on Instagram, TikTok, uh, at Yo Terry V. Updating my website, officialkingindustry.com. Launching more beats on there, but this week I haven't been working on too much other than just sharpening the sword and things like that, man. Um, learning mixing and just working on mixing and stuff like that. So—

Dope releases coming up next week. We have Asake with Money, Kneecap with Fenian, Lil TJ with They Just Ain't You. And lastly, Isaiah Rashad. It's Been Awful. Really excited about that one.

Yeah, I think that's going to be the one for the week for me.
