Head Nod Sesh (The Rendezvous Submission)

Tipper ~ outsideinsideout

Gesha

A fierce instrumental fusion of West African tradition and trap power.
“Tribal Mode” turns ancient rhythms into modern fire — kora strings shimmer like lightning, balafon strikes with metallic sharpness, and 808s rumble like thunder through the desert.

No vocals — only drums, rhythm, and raw energy.
Every element breathes ancestry and dominance, from the pounding sabar and tama to the deep growl of the djembe.
It’s tribal, cinematic, and beast-driven — the sound of heritage colliding with power.

Perfect for cinematic edits, cultural trap playlists, or workout energy moments.
This isn’t just a beat — it’s a battlefield of rhythm and roots.

🎧 Genre: Trap / Afro Trap (Instrumental)
🌍 Mood: Tribal, fierce, powerful
🔥 For fans of: Hozho, 808 Mafia, Soolking, Burna Boy instrumentals

With sharper edges, elevated sound design and a new posse of collaborators, MALAKAI comes correct on his fourth EP, Odd Views. It’s been more than two years since the New York City-based producer first released with The Rust, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago.

On these four tracks it’s plain to hear that MALAKAI’s sound design and songwriting have improved and his intent has sharpened. The sonic material itself isn’t revolutionary, but the subtle ways he moves and shapes the sounds gives attitude to the songs. Strong as ever is MALAKAI’s ability to communicate a feeling with melody, harmony, and note choice. Only now, the feelings are different. He’s deviated ever so slightly from his usual earthy, acoustic, mystical motifs. The void that remains is filled with something grittier, more urban, more direct.

His friends have changed, too, It’s reflected in the posture of this EP, which features Thought Process, pheel., and cuts from Bogtrotter. These producers, who are heavily influenced by hip-hop, deliver great bounce and buoyancy on their features. It’s still MALAKAI’s signature sound - grazing along, moving forward with swing and without haste. Not quite glitch hop, not quite dub, not quite hip-hop, but a home brew with all these ingredients. The edges are again sharper, the movements more crisp. There’s less to think about and more to groove on.
