Well, Monday morning is still far away, and maybe you want a relaxing herbal denouement to another wild weekend. This week, in honor of 4/20, the BZNZmen will share with you their favorite...joints. All weed, all week. Tracks inspired by or prominently featuring reefer count, as well as songs that enhance that illicit indulgence.
So to get started, here's a quick tip on a maryjane mixtape out of Atlanta. I'll post some tracks in the coming days.
It was no sooner than I gave Wiz Khalifa's Rolling Papers some excessive praise in this space last week, that I discovered the superior DJ Burn One mixtape Joints. The tape has this great combination of slow, hazy, 80s-influenced production (think Paper Route Gangstaz?) and a wide roster of rappers coming up, including the much-hyped Freddie Gibbs. Pleasantly surprising are the two jams by Rittz, this white dude with huge hair who raps at Twista speeds. "Blue Dream" might as well be a classic rock song, with a crooning hook about a hookah lounge where it's cool to blaze. The mixtape ends with this great instrumental jam "Exotica" which combines southern style snares with a fuzzed out synth loop, and could really pass for some RJD2 or DJ Shadow-caliber ish. Great stuff, better than Wiz in both verse and beats, and you can stream or download it free over at DJbooth.net.
