Finally starting to learn music theory because as much as I love music I don't know shit about it in a technical sense and I want that to change

Song of the Day

Grown Up - Danny Brown [Danny Brown:] Whoever thought I'd be the greatest growing up Detroit rapper Danny Brown bops along over this carefree track - from 2012 - about his childhood experiences and how his life is so different now. Party Supplies production has a bit of a classic vibe to it that we don't hear Brown over often, and his delivery is much more chilled out and accessible compared to his typically more animated , aggressive style of rapping. This is a good morning track to put on as you're getting ready for the day. Music video below, but the fucking lyrics are fucking goddamn fucking censored fuck. Take that you censors .

Pull Up - Swift [Swift:] I'mma pull up just to hop out and stunt This is a jam to vibe to if I've ever heard one. Atlanta hip hop artist Swift rides over the starry production by Dreek Beatz with chill assurance. This is the type of song that you can smoke to, drink to, ride to, study to, hook up to, etc. The versatility is unarguable. While Swift's bars aren't anything to write home about (cookie-cutter lyrics and an uninspired rhyme scheme), he does sound damn fucking good over the beat, and the hook catches your every limb, injecting itself into your bloodstream, and enabling you to get on that same level as Swift. The confident aura he exudes will have you wanting to hop out and stunt right there with him . Video directed by: Gerard Victor

Sex n' Drugs (feat. Harrison Sands & Copper King) - Abhi the Nomad [Abhi the Nomad:] I need my sex n' drugs I need my money first This self-produced song from the young Indian hip hop artist  Abhi the Nomad is sliiiick, and I can't wait for him to blow up. Sex n' Drugs is guaranteed to put you in a good mood and have you singing along by the end.  Harrison Sands , who I know virtually nothing about, fits the vibe perfectly on the second verse. I can't find any information on Copper King, but I'm guessing he's probably the one on the horn. Video filmed by: Meridian Media & Olivier Buyse Edited by: Abhi the Nomad

Spar (feat. 6LACK & Kodak Black) - Dreezy [6LACK:] They disregarding us And if I go to D.C, I'm tryna spar with Trump Another political hip hop song proving once again that hip hop is the new punk challenging the system. Singer/Rapper 6LACK delivers a nice, short verse before Dreezy absolutely goes in and kills it. I'm not too familiar with her but after hearing this I'll have to check out more of her work. Kodak Black's verse is passable. Starts out with some poignant lyrics " Ain't old enough to hit the club to fill my cup with rum/But I can go die in the army or go to war for them/Ain't old enough for marijuana cigars, spark my blunt/But old enough to spend my life behind bars, that dumb. " But then he starts talking about the government controlling the weather? " These people got weather control/Where the hell you think Hurricane Harvey from? " Not sure if he's being symbolic or literal, but having listened to Kodak ...
