Black and Brown

If any of you are regulars here at still.grimey you'll know that we're major Danny Brown fans. After a strong 2010 with his first album The Hybrid Brown and his record earned accolades and was considered a rising star in the Detroit and underground rap game.The Danny Brown hype train continued to rise in 2011 with offers from G-Unit(that he ultimately turned down) and various features and leaks for his second album, XXX, left fans salivating.

AOTW: Get Busy Committee

A couple weeks back ya boy Greezy posted a dope song from King Fantastic titled 'Why? Where? What?'. After listening to that track I was optimistic about how his mixtape wold turn out, but after listening to the rest of the mixtape I was pretty disappointed expecting more of the same. aftersome time I finally realized that 'Why? Where? What?' reminded me of Get Busy Committee's 2009 album Uzi Does it. Which is good news cause Uzi Does it was kind of where I was expecting King Fantastic to go.

AOTW: Childish Gambino

Donald Glover is a multi-talented individual that you might recognize for his role as Troy Barnes on the NBC show "Community" (if you aren't watching it already, start cause it's pretty damn funny) or maybe you've caught some of his stand-up act, or maybe you're a fan of his work on 30 Rock as a writer and actor. It's no doubt that Glover is talented, and he's gained a lot of respect and accolades for his work on TV, but it's his work as rapper Childish Gambino that has got my interest piqued.

AOTW: Blackbird Blackbird and Star Slinger

So I'm a little late with this weeks AOTW, but there is good reason for that. As I mentioned in my previous post I had an interview in Seattle, The good news is that I got the job. The bad news is that I've had almost no time to write anything because I've had a pretty hectic week due to Thanksgiving and moving. But I've finally gotten myself settled in and now I present to you not one, but two artists for my AOTW to make up for it! I'm also because neither of these artists have released any substantial amount of work that warrants them a full post, so I’ve combined them because I think that they're work is worth checking out.

AOTW: OFWGKTA

For this week's AOTW I’ll be taking a look at some cats from OFWGKTA, which stands for Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, who are some kids coming straight out of the LA area. This crew of skateboarding ruffians are probably one of the rawest collective of rappers that I've heard of in a long while. These guys have lots of talent and can sound like Three 6 Mafia (because of the topics they cover) on one track or have a crazy DOOM like flow (albeit WAY more coherent) on another track. Thee are of 5-6 guys talented guys in the group that do everything: rapping, producing, skateboarding, art, and general mayhem, but the two stand out members of the crew have to be Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler the Creator. Tyler the Creator sounds like he smokes 30 packs a day while staying up all night producing chopped and screwed dystopian beats and Earl is just smooth when he spits bars and is a great counter to Tyler's gritty delivery. These dudes are just straight up gully. Don't believe me? Just take a look at this video of Earl Sweatshirt's video for the single “Earl”.

See what I'm saying, GULLY.
