Fall is my favorite season. The weather, the vibes, and most importantly the beautifully intense warm colors. This particular fall season has been a breathtakingly beautiful one. Our warm days are officially limited and we advise you to enjoy every last one of them. This photo gallery is a tribute to fall; an official farewell until 2016.
Fresh off of ” Nineteen : A Conversation,” The Texan MC returns with a 1:50 track titled “Joptle.” The song starts off with a sample from “Martin,” & transitions into a short preview of Vance’s rapping abilities. The sample – laden , 90s boom bap instrumental reminds us of Kanye West in his Late Registration era. The most interesting thing to note about this track is that the artwork consists of a Chipotle burrito bowl. Hip hop better watch out, because a new chef is in town & it ain’t Stephen Curry w/ the pot.
Aarun Simon is a Philadelphia based artist who is a part of LV4 productions – a Philadelphia based arts & media collective. Aarun just recently dropped a project called “Reflections.” Overall, we thought “Reflections” was an amazing project! Aarun Simon displays a mass of potential with his witty lyrics and fluid delivery, and we have a gut feeling that Poseidon isn’t done blessing the boy yet. He kind of reminds us of J.Cole back in “The Warm Up” days, pouring his soul onto a canvas like BAsquiat painting his own self-portrait of the man in the mirror. The ‘reflection’ (pun intended) that we show people on a daily basis needs to be properly checked and balanced, because we never know when it just might consume us. Simons does a great job at analyzing his own personal reflection within his own timeline, swan-diving head-on into a never-ending abyss of daily struggles, and emerging from the depths as a wiser man who is ready to take on the world. We’re excited to find out what else Aarun and the rest of LV4 has in-store for us in the near future.
