Lil Wayne & Rich The Kid Link For Early Morning Skate Session

When it comes to hip-hop subcultures, skateboarding tends to feel slightly uncommon. Look no further than the beloved Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game series, where rap is wholly underrepresented on the soundtracks — though Del The Funkee Homosapien’s “If You Must” is a staple. That’s not to say that some rappers haven’t embraced the dexterous sport, with names like Tyler, The Creator, Lupe Fiasco, Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell Williams, Lil Wayne, and Rich The Kid coming to mind. In fact, the latter pair recently connected at a skate park in Miami, as Rich’s IG post reveals.

While it’s unclear as to whether Weezy and Rich actually partook in a lengthy early-morning skate session — or merely held it down for a photoshoot, it’s still cool to see both rappers highlighting one of their passions. “6 AM somewhere in Miami,” captions Rich, standing alongside his “End Of Discussion” collaborator with skateboard in hand. From the look of it, Weezy actually coordinated his outfit to match his deck, with his board and shoes sharing a similar color scheme.

Unfortunately, no video has been provided, interesting though it would have been to see both rappers showcasing their skills. Previous footage has revealed that Rich and Wayne can certainly hold it down, and one has to wonder whether they’d ever consider connecting for another proper skate video, like the one they did back in 2016. On that note, who do you think is the better boarder these days — Rich The Kid or Lil Weezy?

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
