These days, there is something inherently evocative about the pairing of sample-based instruments and pure, apologetic stems. Often associated with the golden age of coming and going, there are many who still adhere to the classical sonic aesthetics, and you should not name them “old souls”. For one, Saba and Pivot Gang are not at all. A group of adaptive lyricists in the purest form, as evidenced by the modest but solid You Can’t Sit With Us, eight collective rappers have decided to give various alcoholic drinks through the Two-Piece Tour Package.
Coming out of the bat, Saba kicked with a few changes to his signature, spitting “have a plan, take the pot from my west – take the band, boyfriend, he’s sticky like an amphibian.” Imagery at point. Mfn Melo, CITY of The Friend, and Frsh Waters arrested him with one stanza, rounding off Freestyle with competitive energy posse of posse. Between this and Boogie & J.I.D’s “SoHo,” one must wonder whether South Hollywood has been a low inspiration for lyricists going up today.
