Sonic Landscapes

This week’s mix was born at the mean intersection between Bedford and Syracuse, and brought to you by none other than Brother / Comrade / Saint Simon, also known as $lime .

Simon has a taste for doomy beats, ruthless sampling, and cutthroat lyrics from emcees such as A$AP Rocky and Joey Bada$$ and other artists whose quest for currency and respect lives up to their bold monikers.

Simon writes of this mix:

“Going to Syracuse University it is important to have three things:

I. A good ability to judge character and direction

II. A good ability to understand and decode the latest slang

III. The ability to stay on top of your game, specifically clothing and music.

Although I cant help you with the first two things, I hope that this playlist can help you stay hip to some current tracks. I tried to vary between up-and-coming artists, some underground rappers, and some new dope tracks by well established artists such as Jay Z and Tyga.

This playlist also ranges from flow-of-mind wordsmiths such as Action Bronson, to turn-up, fast talking artists like Tyga, unknown 19 year olds from Chi-Town like Kembe-X, and back again to househood names like 2 Chainz.

I hope that you can enjoy this mix as much as I do. Let me know what you think by posting in the Sonic Landscapes Facebook page or by sharing this mix with your hood rats and ratchets. Be easy.”

Simon also created the epic graphic [seen above] for the show. Throw this mix on your Nokia, kick back, and take a deep breath of fresh air as you count your $$$…
