raekwon: "house of flying daggers"
(feat. Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, and Method Man)
Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Linx still sits on my Amazon Wish List, but, this track gets me cocked and ready for Raekwon's upcoming Part II. I am a rap novice extraordinare, so I won't pretend to know what I am talking about, but, I can say that this Jay Dilla produced track creates a mob-like-mood for some vengeful flows from Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, and of course Method Man. This album is starting to sound like a true second part because as I listen to "House of Flying Daggers" I want to hear the "more" from where it came from.
truman peyote: "new wife new life"
Truman Peyote is more than a clever psyche band name. As pointed out on the Forkast, their new jam "New Wife New Life" sounds like a derivative of Animal Collective's more rootsy Stawberry Jam. While I agree, I also think this track shows more direction than most tracks on Strawberry Jam and as a result is more palatable. The stomp beat mixed with twinkling, not frilly, guitar is a great build up to a too common realization: "she's not the one for me." Or in other words, just because you have a new wife, doesn't necessarily make it a new life. Running themes in multiple story lines currently unfolding in my world.
