GoldieLocks - Wasteman
Props to Panda Toes for the hookup on a dope UK rapper I've never heard of: GoldieLocks. Shit is grimy, with clear garage influence. God, they are doing some nice shit on the other side of the pond; peep the overalls:
The kid Frisco can flow, too. Before signing on to this, though, a small caveat: I went bonkers over Lady Sovereign when her singles were dropping everywhere, but Public Warning was a lukewarm letdown. Ever since Dizzee Rascal's Boy in Da Corner I've been hungry for hot UK bangers, and admittedly have a tendency to over-hype the next hipster chick out of London.
That said, GoldieLocks is worth peeping. More tracks over on MySpace. I particularly recommend "Drug DeeLa." Also, check out the greatest play on a Jay-Z album title ever. What a flier.
Update: It has been pointed out to me that the word 'banger' is now retired from usage in rap blogs. Anything to say about this, Jessica?
Psh. If you'd read the post above that one, you'd know that "banger" is no longer an acceptable term to use.
But I agree: let's keep it alive.
Stripped from the lexicon, eh. We'll have to come up with a replacement.
I said the word banger today. And every day.
having read the retirement notice, i've become totally distracted from this episode of lost i'm trying to watch with my peeps and resolve to write a response when my computer is out of the shop. you haven't heard the last of me! or banger!
