Song of The Year-The Race is About To Begin by Black Midi
by Dan O I wasn’t ready for the album Hellfire by Black Midi. I was lucky to have Anysia Kym’s wise words on Call Out Culture’s sub-podcast Sabbath Bloody Sabbath to guide me. To paraphrase; she mentioned Black Midi as a band that gets tighter and more efficient as they play faster…making them a bit […]

Song of The Year-Ragnarok by Defcee x Boathouse featuring Kipp Stone
by Dan O Sleep on me now ,it’s fine, but you’ll be standing in line to buy my T-shirt in two years. I warned you. The Defcee x Boathouse album For All Debts Public and Private was my favorite album of 2022 for a while (so much has come out in such a short time). […]

Song of The Year-Do Em Filthē by IAMGAWD featuring Decay The Llama, Tone Liv, GreenSLLIME, SolarFive, and Defcee produced by Doc Da Mindbenda
By Dan-O https://gawdsgift.bandcamp.com/track/do-em-filth-ft-decay-the-llama-tone-liv-greensllime-solarfive-and-defcee The Filthē records contingent are such a fascinating group. This song comes off of the new IAMGAWD & Doc Da Mindbenda collaboration Hells Angels & Heaven’s Demons. IAMGAWD has a few characteristics I’ve fallen head over heels for. His multi-syllabic word choice and thought organization within his flow are amazing. On the song […]

Song of The Year-Heaven by Pink Sweat$
by Dan-O To my ears this song isn’t even R & B it’s just B. It’s off his newest album release Pink Planet. The way his voice stays high and stretches before fading into a conversational tone confidently delivering slick ish like “love you like the tide, pull you close at night…and I won’t let […]

Song of The Year-Tiger Song by Naeem
by Dan-O Some of my favorite books, songs, paintings, poems offended me the first time I took them in. I’ve realized that for a work to truly offend me it needs to be very well done. That is what makes it hurt the most. The Tiger Song ends a very warm brilliant album (Startisha) and […]

Song of The Year-Sins Of The Father by Ka featuring Roc Marciano produced by Roc Marciano
Song of The Year-Sins Of The Father by Ka featuring Roc Marciano produced by Roc Marciano by Dan-O An underrated value in hip hop is friendship. Watching El-P and Killer Mike laugh together like they fit perfectly or Freddie Gibbs give Madlib a deep hug that’s worth a thousand thank you’ s. It’s not just […]

Song of The Year-Hit My Phone by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Kehlani
Song of The Year-Hit My Phone by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Kehlani by Dan-O You just can’t beat the kind of collaboration that unites two fabulously interesting artists coming off their best work. In 2019, Kehlani dropped the elegant and well crafted While We Wait while Megan Thee Stallion was everywhere. She dropped her Fever project, dropped some killer […]

Song of The Year-The Pines by 070 Shake
Song of The Year-The Pines by 070 Shake by Dan-O Leadbelly would be pretty excited about the 2020 Cover of one of his favorite songs, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? It comes on 070 Shake’s new album Modus Vivendi. She makes it a completely modern experience with heavy autotune and synths, but Shake and her team(Mike […]

Song of The Year-Blue Trash by The Dead South
Song of The Year-Blue Trash by The Dead South by Dan-O The Dead South are Canadian Bluegrass. If you’ve ever listened to Bluegrass you know that the instrumentation is at the core of its success. Everything grows out of the rhythm and dexterity the banjo and the bass establish. The Dead South add gloriously to that […]

Song of The Year-Shake It by Charli XCX featuring Big Freedia, Cupcakke, Brooke Candy and Pabllo Vittar
Song of The Year-Shake It by Charli XCX featuring Big Freedia, Cupcakke, Brooke Candy and Pabllo Vittar by Dan-O Without question XCX is my favorite pop entity. She is as dedicated to what was considered tawdry or profane as she is dance pop. As a creator she greatly enjoys lulling you into a trance and […]
