ScHoolboy Q & 2 Chainz Spazzed On “What They Want”

First and foremost, happy thirty-fourth birthday to ScHoolboy Q, a man who has brought us entertainment through his music and social media antics alike. And while the latter deserves ample celebration in its own right, it feels fitting to highlight a gem from one of his finest musical accomplishments — which is to say, the 2014 album Oxymoron. While there are plenty of standout cuts across the project, there’s something immediately accessible about the Mike WiLL Made-It produced “What They Want,” which finds Q connecting with Tity Boi over a hard-hitting banger.

Having amassed over twenty-six million views since its initial YouTube release, the single remains worthy of revisiting six-years down the line. “Might pull up in my bucket, This nine holds a good dozen,” warns Q, his cold-hearted cadence pairing effortlessly with Mike WiLL’s frigid synthesizers. “Might slide up in your cousin, just made a mil’ and still thuggin’.” Matching his energy is 2 Chainz, who catches a solid pocket and injects no shortage of character into his bars. “Yeah, this that four n**as in a Regal flow,” he raps. “Speeding through the yellow lights, treat my Versace belt like it’s a mistletoe.”

Be sure to check this one out for old time’s sake, and show some birthday love to the “Man Of The Year” in the comment section below. Is Oxymoron your favorite album from ScHoolboy Q?

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Got a hat say Figg’ on my gangsta tip
Don’t trust no ho, I might sock the bitch
I’m apocalypse to your politics
Might cop the Phantom, get ghost
I can pay your bills with this coat
Need an extra band for this smoke
I can see for miles with this scope, n**ga

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.
