@theneedledrop To quote the liner notes: "Think of it like a Curb Your Enthusiasm-style comedy of manners, with more banging beats and an acute awareness of the awkwardness of 'rap hands.'"

ESSENTIAL' is by far @thysenterprise's most personal album to date. He pays a heartfelt tribute to his late father. The artist revisits and rearranges melodies from iconic jazz records that formed a profound connection between the two of them.

Hello, this is your Midnight Marauder program...

Thijsenterprise is now Thysenterprise. We hope that makes it easier to pronounce his name, with new music to be announced next week. Stay tuned for more.

I've talked about AI in music recently with the recent event of Timbaland showing his ass. But AI in music is and has been a thing. So what do we do about the concept of "Fake Features".

"ONE OF THE BEST RAP TRACKS OF THE YEAR."

Big love for @STIK_FIGA & @itstheexpert's 'The Green Monster (ft. @SolemnBrigham)' on German online radio station @ByteFM, who even used the track as the namesake and cover inspiration for Saturday's show. 🦖
