NetFlix has changed the way we watch television for the better. The streaming video pioneer is much more than just an entertainment giant for the 21st century — it’s also a pioneer when it comes to using machine learning. While Justin Basilico, a research director with NetFlix, can’t share all the spoilers, he knows better than anyone how entertainment and machine learning intersect.

Ellis D Presents Boom Boom - Work This Pussy (Hurt Me Mix)

produced by Licki
featuring Ill Chill & Ashkon

Every night before bed for a year I watched military history documentaries to fall asleep. Episode 3 of Oliver Stone's "The Untold History of the United States" focuses on WWII terror bombing and the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan. I could not shake the language and the images from my mind... This song started with the sound of a taiko drum -- a resounding representation of our military industrial complex. "Demon LeMay" was born of my obsession with our society's obsession with destruction.


Licki's verse:

"i go i grow i suppose in the throes of explosions
i'm owing all woes to this dose of propulsion 
rocked asleep by rockets we mosh in seas of toxins
the Emperor's got no clothes but tell me: WHO WILL STOP HIM?

if you are God's soldier 
then your God is a stranger
that village you burning
He already pillaged and raped her

Mother Nature meets her maker
and then I share her fate, sirs:
a woman torn apart by men
and trying not to hate them

build a wall? that's rich. let's all admit
we didn't hit or throw a fit now shit
we're all complicit in it
drop bombs (when cost permits)
a race of frauds and hypocrites
we covet calm but it's a myth
long as napalm exists

claim the others are lepers
i'll tell you who's infected

vow the Lord is your shepherd
but i know about misdirection

release your voting record (and)
it's clear who made this wreckage

swear it's all to get to heaven
but i know... you'll regret it"

Often ratchet, sometimes rapturous, always raw: Licki (FKA Licki Ucroj) juxtaposes the swagger and wit of contemporary rap with riveting, chaotic, and wholly unexpected production elements to cultivate a sound best described as "gift rap." Think Nicki Minaj's lyricism + Lizzo's performative prowess, raised to the power of an early-aughts indie rock band.
