The Urban Retro Playlist

One of the ones I really liked was LOS at least before they split. They still work together anyway, but there was something about when they were a unit. They had infused the following genres in their music; R&B Rap, Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Pop among other genres. 

They were one of the actual diverse Nigerian new school sounds in my own opinion. Most of their songs were really progressive, more on the up beat side, dance-able and general enjoyable.

Though I've not kept tabs on then like I used to I still listen to their songs from time to time, from their group days and the ones they did or featured individually. So I decided to make a playlist with a couple of their songs and others they've been on, I hope you enjoy them.

Flash forward two years later I listened to the B4DA$$ (Before the cash, which is cleverly written to look like Bad Ass as well). The first track to be precise, then I hear the same verse it bright back so many memories (the album is also really lit by the way). 

The song sampled Azar Lawrence's Moving People which you hear audibly at several intervals. All through the track Joey Badass maintained this some what old school flow and his verses were fill with killer wordplay, diverse but congruous  rhyme patters and several entendres. The track had an aged tone to it and Joey was pretty laid back on it, maybe it's how it's voice sound but it's like the tempo was really slow it was just right. This tape revived the hip hop for me.
