Smoke DZA And Flying Lotus Might Have An EP Of The Year Contender With “Flying Objects”

by

Smoke DZA and Flying Lotus are truly a match made in heaven. The duo has just released their first collaborative project together with their brand new EP. Flying Objects is one of the best, if not the best EPs of 2023 and we are about to break down why. Firstly though, let us give you the basic information and some background on it. Flying Objects is five tracks that equal a runtime of 14 minutes and 14 seconds. DZA brings on features from some heavy hitters in this quick effort. Conway the Machine, Black Thought, and Estelle appear in songs two, four, and five.

Furthermore, all of the production is handled by legendary Los Angeles producer, Flying Lotus. He brings elements of trap, cloud rap, boom-bap, and R&B. Finally, there were two singles for the promotion of this EP. “Drug Trade” with Black Thought and “Harlem World 97” with Estelle were both released in the past two months. Now, why is this EP so good? Well, both DZA and Lotus complement each other’s styles so well. The hazy, laid-back, and euphoric production along with the lyrics about dope, money, and being the man, is the perfect unison.

Perhaps the best song on the EP, “Drug Trade” featuring Black Thought, has it all. The woozy flow from DZA, the drums and whimsical synths from Lotus, and the lyrical talent from Thought form a truly special song. It is really sad that the duo does not have a full album together. But, we can continue to dream that will happen one day.

Blxst And Bino Rideaux Bring Their Seamless Chemistry On “Sixtape 3”

by

Los Angeles natives and now frequent collaborators Blxst and Bino Rideaux are back once again with more new music. Consistently over the past four years, the duo has released a new Sixtape every other year. The same remains true with Sixtape 3 now available on all streaming platforms. Both ultra-talented singers and rappers, Blxst and Bino have formed a pretty formidable duo in the West Coast scene. While they might not be the names you immediately mention, you cannot deny they are bringing a unique flavor.

The Sixtape series is known for its earworm hooks and effortless flows over trap and R&B beats. That trend continues here in the third installment. Blxst and Bino Rideaux make it look easy, especially on songs like “Doin Yo Stuff.” It is the ultimate love-making song with bouncy West Coast influence in its production and auto-tune-laced vocals. The melody that Blxst and Bino provide here is so smooth and effortless.

The R&B hits continue on the following track “Get Away.” It is another love cut but this one possesses more emotional weight that shows both artists missing their partners. Their love for them is so strong that it is hard to function when they are not around. Blxst sings in the chorus, “Ain’t no question, you should send that my way (My way) / I’m so reckless, I’ve been pressin’ all day (All day) / What do it take for us to get away? (Get away).” Overall, it should please their fanbases with the familiar vibes Sixtape 3 displays. Both artists continue to impress with their seamless connection on every track they hop on.

Dreamville’s Collaboration With Daily Paper Has Dropped

by

Dreamville Records has launched a new project in collaboration with Amsterdam-based fashion label Daily Paper. The resulting capsule, referred to as Dream Daily, is a seven-piece collection of university-style wear. Raeana Anaïs, the design director of Dreamville, describes the mission of this project to be “Dream Daily, and then put a plan into action to make those dreams come true.”

The record label, founded by J. Cole, has initiated another step into the fashion world with this collection. Reflecting on this new endeavor with Daily Paper, Dreamville partner Adam Roy stated, “we tell stories through music and equally they, with fashion. We’re excited about the opportunity to build something special with one of today’s foremost fashion collectives.” Daily Paper, which was created in 2008 by Abderrahmane Trabsini, Hussein Suleiman, and Jefferson Osei, is heavily inspired by the African heritage of the founders.

Dreamville X Daily Paper Pulls Inspo From The Classroom

For the release, photographer Olya Oleinic shot a yearbook-themed campaign starring “alumni” members of both Dreamville and the Daily Paper. Dream Daily is also heavily inspired by the University of Sankore, which is regarded as one of the world’s oldest educational institutions. The creative direction for Dream Daily is explained in a statement released on the fashion brand’s website: “With both brands starting their respective labels during their university years, we reimagine what a Daily Paper x Dreamville University would look like.” The brand also features a similarly styled video campaign, which also features the behind-the-scenes of the creation of Dream Daily.

Needless to say, the concept of Dream Daily emphasizes education. One of the more notable pieces from the capsule is the maroon and sandy-colored University Jacket. Featured on the jacked is an assortment of branded patches and a graphic depicting the Great Mosque of Djenné, which has both religious and cultural significance for the people of Mali. The collection also features a polo dress, a polo sweater, a coach jacket, sweatpants, a hoodie, and a t-shirt. Today (February 24th) marks the first day of Dreamville’s pop-up in NYC, located inside of the Daily Paper’s flagship store.
