Amine And Saba Puff Out Their Chests On Their Confident Collab, ‘Talk’
The song lands on Amine’s new ‘Limbo’ deluxe which adds seven new songs and appearances from Toosii, Valee, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. …
After an entire year away from the hip-hop game, Amine made his return this year with his Limbo album. The 14-track effort was an incredibly strong release from the Portland native, which served as a successor to his 2018 effort, OnePointFive. UPROXX named Limbo as the 27th-best album of the year and the ninth-best hip-hop album of the year. Looking to give the album one last push before the year ends, Amine returned with a deluxe re-issue of Limbo and one of its early highlights comes on a track with Saba.
Connecting for the first time in their careers, Amine and Saba flex some muscle on “Talk.” The track finds them both emphasizing their needs to back up their proclamation: talk the talk and walk the walk. For Amine this is a requirement because the last thing he wants is for the competition and other spectators to think he’s “out here for f*cking jokes.” After the “Compensating” rapper leads the way with bars of his own, Saba follows suit with a second dose of confidence and a reminder that he’s achieved so much while others struggle to do half as much as he has.
The Limbo deluxe comes with seven additional songs and guest appearances from Toosii, Valee, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
You can listen to “Talk” in the video above.
Limbo (Deluxe) is out now via Republic. Get it here.

Neurolapse opens up buried feelings into a rebellious release “Fvck These Feelings”
Neurolapse channel released feelings that had been held inside for too long with “Fvck These Feelings.” That emotional urgency also translates into the writing process itself, with some of the lyrics coming in the early hours of the morning and insisting on being put down. From there, it was developed into a track that turns personal emotional pressure into a collective experience for listeners.
What is interesting about the song is the tension between the emotional base it draws on and the freedom it seeks to create. The song is born of the difficulty of releasing painful feelings, but its effect is anything but restrained. The band wants the song to make listeners dance, shout along, and let go of the emotions they have been carrying. This gives “Fvck These Feelings” an intuitive quality, turning frustration and emotional exhaustion into an opportunity to let go.
Something is refreshing about the song’s directness. Instead of bottling up feelings and keeping them a secret, “Fvck These Feelings” celebrates the messy process of letting them out. It gives people a chance to identify what they’ve been holding on to, and a place to let it out. Neurolapse takes a tough internal experience and turns it into something energetic, expressive, and communal. This is a track designed not simply to be heard, but to be felt and released through movement.

KUILL unveils a testimony from the pain of memory on latest release “Last Night”
KUILL‘s latest release, “Last Night” is a very human approach to memory. It is about those moments we only realize were important after they are already gone. This song is not about a specific event, but about growing up, about time passing and about people and places we once assumed would always be there. Its emotional core is born of the painful realization that a final moment rarely announces itself as it unfolds.
“Last Night” is subtle yet cinematic, letting KUILL’s signature voice do the heavy lifting in telling the story. His restrained vocal delivery creates space for the listener to bring his own memories. Its shimmering world can be the last evening before leaving home, a family holiday, or a carefree summer with childhood friends. The result is intimate, yet it doesn’t constrain the listener’s interpretation.
The artwork accompanying the piece enhances that feeling with broken reflections of KUILL, placing him between past and present. It’s the essence of the song: memories tend to fade with time and become less about the details of what happened and more about how those times made us feel. “Last Night” takes that quiet sadness and lets you sit with it.
