5 Play: Sean Falyon's '#IDSBIC,' and Lord Narf's 'Masterpiece'
Plus, new music from Wil May, Kelechi, and pacmanADV
Sean Falyon — #IDSBIC (EP)
Sean Falyon's known for being the omnipresent creative force on ATL's music, party, and entertainment scene, but often his skills on the mic are overlooked. On his latest project #IDSBIC (I Don't Speak Because I Can) the bearded wonder's rapping like a man possessed, with a few chips on his shoulder and list of lyrical grievances centered on the country's current social and economic climate.
Kelechi — "Pay Attention" Freestyle (Video)
The Nigerian ATLien known as Kelechi has a new EP out entitled, Loose Change(s). In celebration of the 5-track release, Kelechi dropped this visual for his "Pay Attention" freestyle. With the skyline in the background, the artist whose team describes him as a J. Cole, Kanye West, Country Grammar-era Nelly lovechild, showcases his ability for flipping cadences, and subject matter without blinking. Must listen: "Want."
pacmanADV — "Thunder Field"
pacmanADV's Infinite project is set for a Dec. 31 release, and to hold folks over he sent over this new cut. The shifting sound (the beats changes three times over the course of three-and-a-half minutes) is the producer/MC's "foretelling of the possible reaction to a unified human conscious, within a finite society." Translation: the song is worth a listen, and is a welcome pause for reflection.
Will May — "You Give Me Life"
Folks probably forget that the #COOL co-founder and party monster Wil May is a talented musician. This dance-heavy ode to the ladies that make fellas shed the fighter and embrace the lover within should be played on repeat on dance floors and in bedrooms.
Lord Narf — "Masterpiece" (Video)
Awful Records' resident femcee Lord Narf gets all sultry on her new cut and she's got the trippy, VHS-mashup of a video to boot. "Masterpiece" comes from Narf's EP, For the Funky. (Or the freaky; if you're nasty.)
