Never Better

Optimist (We Are Not For Them) (Clean)

P.O.S was born in Minneapolis as Stefon Alexander, where everybody still calls him Stef. As a little kid, he developed a fascination with an older cousin's bass guitar. Stef was allowed to take it home and he banged on it happily for years before realizing that it was intended to be played through an amp. "I just thought it was supposed to be a quiet instrument." As a teenager, he fell hard for punk rock. Minor Threat, At the Drive-In, Refused, Kid Dynamite. He played in a series of hardcore bands, sometimes as a drummer, sometimes on guitar and vocals. From the start, he preferred basement shows to club gigs. Simultaneously, he pursued hip hop, rapping in the hallways and after school with classmates who would eventually found Doomtree Records. P.O.S released his first rap record, Ipecac Neat, on Doomtree in 2003. After signing with Rhymesayers shortly after, it was quickly released and widely distributed on Rhymesayers Entertainment. The album earned P.O.S a dedicated following of critics and underground fans. Two years later they devoured his melodic sophomore release Audition, which featured collaborations with heavyweights like Slug from Atmosphere; Craig Finn of The Hold Steady; and Greg Attonito of The Bouncing Souls. On the verge of his third release, with his trajectory unchecked, P.O.S still doesn't take himself too seriously. He doesn't sweat the musical trends. He locks himself in his bedroom studio until the early hours of the morning, emerges with a song, and couldn't care less how someone else would have gone about it.

Like many great rappers, P.O.S creates his own self-contained little microcosm-his characters become familial to us; we get in on his slang and inside jokes. His mother and his son Jacob emerge as familiar personalities. We know his politics too: P.O.S doesn't hesitate to call out the compounding absurdities of pop culture, either with a little friendly ribbing or with a Molotov cocktail. On Never Better he drops deft one-liners that cut to the quick of America's stuff-obsessed culture, Can't take it with them can they?

Amidst the swagger, the laughter and the wit, P.O.S also provides a portal to his personal life-a young man ferociously determined to succeed as a father, a musician, and a human being. He's earnest, sometimes frustrated, irresistibly likable, and he's goofy. With that kind of wingspan, he can rally almost any crowd-live he's like the Pied Piper of the underground. He can make a rap show feel like a revival, a mosh pit, or a reunion. He will stand on chair. He'll invent a dance. Then the beat drops, the hands go up, and you're converted.

OG decade old account.. 
Digital collection of what I love for others to stay as positive as I or more !! Raaawrrr muther lovers !!

Basically I Pro-bono promote artists I love.

In this case, various sorts of music 
I judge high quality; 90% electronic. 
From edm of all kinds to classic dubstep, diverse styles of psy-trance, DnB, Mid-tempo, house, even mambe. 
Some hype, others calm, light, heavy, mean, melancholic, peaceful. Vaguely 9% post-2000's RaP, heavy metal/progressive metal. 
Finally the last 1% is very few instrument classics without any electronics. 
I love this kind of music too (pre-2000's hip-hop/classic rock/jazz/blues/world/acoustic/piano/orchestras, etc.)
Buut that's all on records, CD's or data sticks for me not online..sowy.
So I hope you enjoy this side of my musical style :)

Following my ever-refining list of playlists, flying through the huge collection of albums, occasionally rading my new and old bursts of reposts or just getting absolutely lost in my last decade of likes now summing up over 4000+ . . . .

Reposts and playlists are more reasonable, needless to say more organized and HQ as well but probably still limited to 1000 tracks.

Anyways, much health and luck to all those who pass here ! 

One love to yall fellow Rascalians.
