IDEAL is Curtismith’s first compiled release of tracks under one theme, the mixtape is a collection of tracks from producers he has personally worked with and covers off of eats from music he’s been influenced by.

Included are tracks from CRWN, also part of his home collective LOGICLUB, a track from Beat Sampras, a producer based in Cape Town, South Africa. Also included are tracks he rapped on from 40, J. Dilla, Jazzual Suspects, Timbaland, Flamingosis, OHD, and Outkast.

Mito Fabie, AKA Curtismith, once caught a billboard of (as you may already have guessed) Anne Curtis—and plucked the surname of one of the country’s most recognizable faces and made it his moniker. And it’s the same clever, somewhat ironic referencing that he applies to his first mixtape release, out Sep 4.

IDEAL, an optimistic and introspective debut, explores the tension, anxiety, and ambition of  the rapper who is often see-sawing between confidence and doubt. Many of the tracks sound like a succession of interrogations, addressed to himself—with questions like “am I good enough?” on “Currently”—it’s almost like watching Curtismith perform a monologue in front of a mirror. With a narrative refined by samples culled from movies like Goodfellas and The Great Dictator, and a host of collaborators like CRWN, Sampras, and Similarobjects—the verses flow, consistent in its storytelling, and curious all throughout. 

“I’ve got all these dreams”, he coos in “For The Love”, but IDEAL peaks at “philo(watts)”, which features a vibrant horn section. It’s the kind of mixtape that swells, from one’s bedroom to a corner in the crowd. “I got this, I promise”, he affirms on his first track. He could very well be right.

As we get ready for a busy summer, of spreading the sound of tomorrow across the globe, we can't help but take a step back and bring you all the feel good, forward thinking music you know and love from Soulection. This installment of our White Label series comes from 18 year old London composer, songwriter, guitarist, singer & violinist, Tom Misch. We felt the need to list all of this in the description, because each track is such an audio masterpiece. This one is for everyone, but true fans of Dilla, and smooth, mellow, R&B inspired hip-hop beats, will definitely enjoy this release.

"Basically this EP is me attempting to make instrumentals that will effect people moods in a positive way but also make people think, all produced and recorded by myself in my bedroom. I've used a combination of obscure jazz samples but mostly live instrumentation that I've recorded, so I recored guitar, violin, bit of vocals and sound effects etc." -Tom Misch

Old Ye right here
Junoflo

Turn it up turn it up, ya systems
And say “ooh lawd” like ya grandma Christian
Everybody gather when I spit that wisdom
But I don’t call em beats, only my next victim
And then I go in, I bless ‘em on the track
I talk up in a rhythm, I call that shit a rap
Defeat foes in beast mode
I speak flows and I’m reppin California to the far East Coast

Infinite styles yall could never box me
I just cop to rock, no suckas get a proxy
I’ma call you Kinko cuz all you do is copy
Our generation hear a song and wonder where the drop be
Fuck a drop, fuck a cop, this is hip hop
If you ain’t with it, take a number and just kick rocks
So you can get lost at the next pit stop
Intelligence and elegance is partly why I get props
So turn it up, turn it up
One time, two time
They say that three a charm
Say wassup, say wassup
To your pops and your moms
Let ‘em know I spit napalm bombs
Tell a friend, tell a foe
In this summer heat Junoflo hella cold
That’s a nice mixture, thinking out the frame in this picture
Wolf blow your house down, now tell me who the victor, ME

Turn it up turn it up, ya systems
And say “ooh Lawd” like ya grandma Christian
Everybody gather when I spit that wisdom
But I don’t call em beats, only my next victim
And then I go in, I bless ‘em on the track
I talk up in a rhythm, I call that shit a rap
Defeat foes in beast mode
I speak flows and I’m reppin California to the far East Coast

These dumb rappers need schooling
Who you think you fooling fronting like the coolest
Acting double XL like a dime, kid
But you really medium like my prime rib
See the time slip, where the time go
Always stay ahead like I’m in another time zone
That homegrown got me spinning like a cyclone
25 to life when I'm letting all my rhymes flow
Like Nas I’m Nasty, I Kim Kardash past that ass
You’ll never catch me
Except on the camera
Hit me with parameters
Ain’t no man alive who could come up to my caliber
I’m the chosen one like Neo in the Matrix
Exposing fake shit while unveiling greatness
Who’da second guessed that Juno be so gracious
Lookin for the green so just show me where the papes is
Now c’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now
1 to the 2 to the 3 to the 4
Now c’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now
1 to the 2 to the 3 to the 4
Now c’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now
Born a warrior, so I never back down
C’mon c’mon show me where it’s at now

Junoflo - Infinite Styles

The Seems (RrsMX Extended) - Sam Gellaitry X Connor Pearson

I  DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO THIS BEAT

Let me
Take you to a place with the sand
Understand
I ain’t trippin I’m just tryna be your man
But I, I, I
I do a lot of heavy lifting
So you can see the scratches from the baggage that I’m bringing
I was feeling all alone
Getting stoned
In a zone where doing the same thing was getting old
So I, 
just
Listened to my soul
and I’m bringing you a flow where my story unfolds
so precisely
training to the top with my nikes
yeah I’m light skinned but please don’t take me lightly

I been fighting with my demons sometimes it gets frightening
But maybe this is life tryna keep my shit exciting
while Poseidon likes to laugh at me
On his throne with a trident tryna gash at me
Waves try to smash at me
Days getting fast
we tryna make it past
the obstacles of life, til we leave under our last breath 

I’m hindered by the past, yet
I been working, I been working on my assets 
Seeing life from different aspects
Fuck all of these classes I know what to do I’m working on my talents

So baby let me flow
Baby let me kiss you like a soldier on the phone
Coming home, right, now  
Girl I’m coming home, right, now

And baby that’s where my heart is
Can’t you see me struggle like an artist
Tryna make you proud can’t you see I work my hardest
When it hurts at least I’m being honest
Tryna plant the seeds of money so I can harvest

All these cash crops
Im 20, a matchbox is heavy from all the envy I gently get mad props
From all of these bad cops just tryna make a living
Live in the back drop so they tryna make a killing

In honor of Nujabes.

We're just dreamers/
nothing short of believers/
got this under control, no need to leave it to beaver/
don't be so eager, we still got so long to go/
hell nah we ain't hittin the steamers/
I'm the icing on cake, you can be the coffee I'll be the creamer/
never roll fake, ain't nobody realer/
my mission to succeed commissioned like car dealer/
my face on all of your Trix, cereal killer/
the music turn my brain on, sex appealer/
rhyme and flow, words graze over her curves, no need to feel her/
game of love, shuffle the cards, I'll be the dealer/
gift from above, every kick of the bass, now I can feel her/
hollow ears, let that riff be the filler/
dissect the rhythm, onion layered gotta peel her/
haven't met anyone yet that could be chiller/
kick back relax let the funk be the healer/
mental inspiration, God has delivered/
dental sanitation, verbal spit cleana than the Lena River/
don't need no ice to be cool, I'll make you shiver/
tower over my enemies as they shake and quiver/
musical flow cleanse my body, don't need a liver/
leather in black, hair greased back, nobody slicker/
ahead of the game, catch up need to be quicker/
i'll see you at the finishline where i'll be maxin out like ahh/

Take a step back and envision the world/
as it solely rotates 'round gold diamond and pearls/
these fluorescent adolescents screamin' "Free Earl!"/
'till they fall, kill 'em all like "F the free world"/
true beauty of a land with metaphorical music/
minds are levitated and with precision we use it/
floating through a sea of thoughtful similes/
out the speakers to the hearts the music's the remedy/
conquest the left chest maintain your liberty/
lips graze quotations, arming the weaponry/
only thing in rotation is the knowledge, see/
a compound so volatile, delicate chemistry/
tempted by society to eat the fruit of the tree/
my soul never dance with the devil that I guarantee/

LISTEN.
Now take a step forward and back into perspective/
mind body and soul infuse as a collective/
respecting the spectrum not rather selective/
doper than your dope so ya'll got to check this/
a panacea of tunes get you out the slump/
hanging on a thread so my flow is what you'll bump/
this Beat Laments The World, feelin light as a Feather/
out Counting Stars with you there's nothing better/
let's just spend A Day By Atmosphere Supreme/
get into my ozone layer know what I mean/
First In Last Out, you know that I'm a fiend/
rollin' through like the 112, peaches and cream/
wear the crown when you're around me my Lady Brown/
diggin' through dirt for quality that's underground/
learning to Think Different with ideas Substantial/
from Highs 2 Lows it's for the love, not financial/
cat with the savage flow call him Juno/
sicker than your Average Joe, I let it glow/
the Latitude I maintain reps my gratitude/
Light On The Land, shining positive attitude/
and you know we stay Blessing It/
beatrock we wreckin' it/
but ever since you've gone, the space you've been fittin' in/
seemed a little empty, I fill it up quick/
Nujabes rest in beats, i'm musically Luv Sic./

"The 'Holo' EP to me is a sonic representation of where my head is at the moment. I wanted to let the audience kind of journey through the things that I feel and imagine; at times very mellow and relaxed, and other times very chaotic and emotional. Which is why I named it 'Holo' (for Hologram). This EP in a way is a projection of part of my consciousness to my audience." -- https://soundcloud.com/dirtychocolate
