I’m a sucker for droning beats, dope bass and doo doo rhymes. I gotta say I feel like I’m watching a tricked out version of Michael Jackson’s BAD video mixed with hammer pants and a Arabian esthetic. NABIL ,who’s worked with talented artist such as Bon Iver, Frank Ocean and Seal, see’s the world through a slow motion lens. Usually black and white. His eye for simplicity is Vimeo worthy and easily a staff pick…whoops it is…surprise surprise. Alotta themes running through this one, most evident is the middle eastern vibe. Maybe Kanye’s taking a few pointers from Kim and going all Persian on a nigga. Whatever the case may be this single off of the Def Jam label is banging…which is the only reason your seeing Kanye’s face on this blog. The quartet delivers some soupy,stony rhymes in this club track and now I’m just waiting on some remixes. Enjoy!
