This week’s Hump Day Bump Day is slightly abbreviated, but here’s a set of Halloween tunes for the weekend. Happy Halloweening!
Yae – SteezD Out: Nose Candy
Professors like to team up and figure out the best way to have the weeks around Halloween full of Library visits instead of costume planning. In honor of professors, Hump Day isn’t as banging as usual. Today we have a Baltimore rapper Yae and his October 22nd released mixtape SteezD Out: Nose Candy. The drug references go past the cocaine suggestions in the artist’s and mixtape’s name. Despite the name, the mixtape is largely devoted to a greener leaf. “Nurse Mary” is a clever reference to the herbal remedy powers of marijuana disguised as a nurse that is checking out the patient. Yae is one of the first rappers to take on Flying Lotus, an electronic producer known for eclectic and unsystematic beats. He does a mighty fine job on “Show Bars,” switching up his flow as Flying Lotus does, an impressive progression through the song. “Choppa Style” is a remix of Notorious B.I.G.’s “Big Poppa.” It doesn’t sample the song but the rhythms mirror the song, and the lyrics are similar to the 90s classic. Overall this is a solid product from a relatively unknown rapper. His on-beat flows and off-beat instrumentals combine on SteezD Out: Nose Candy to produce a high that leaves you addicted.
