OBJ feat Mick Jenkins

“The Privileged Martyr” is an unapologetic return from Cellus Hamilton — his first release since Valentine’s Day — produced alongside Chicago’s own Von Vuai. Built on a soulful sample of SWV’s “Rain,” the track blends tenderness and tension, grief and defiance. Written in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Hamilton wrestles with how language, power, and pain collide in public and private faith.
The song doesn’t hand out answers — it asks dangerous questions. It exposes how words once meant to honor sacrifice can become distorted, co-opted, or weaponized. Over shimmering chords and melancholy drums, Cellus delivers a performance that feels like a lament, a warning, and a mirror all at once.
Raw, poetic, and layered with meaning, “The Privileged Martyr” dares listeners to confront what we call suffering, who gets to define it, and what it costs to tell the truth in an age of privilege and persecution.

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Today, I had the surprising, and very-appreciated, opportunity to interview Shad -- subject of the April 2023 All Things Considered, he is an MC in the truest possible sense of the term. With an essential discography in Hip Hop, I spoke with him today about his upcoming album, Start Anew, his return to the Tri-City area, teaching in the AI age, and Canada's hip hop listenership. Hope y'all enjoy! 

I also got music in here, don't worry. Finally, RIP D'Angelo -- dedication mix next week.

Mick Jenkins "I Am KiNG" - (Prod by. Herman Roth) - unmixed

King Palms (ft. XXXDANX, BrokenStacks & iLuvLavvy)

Channeling the soulful, boom-bap energy of the mid-2010s "Forest Hills Drive" era, ghosti delivers a masterclass in conscious storytelling. Built over a backdrop of dusty, looped Rhodes piano, a warm electric bassline, and crisp MPC drums, the track feels like a conversation with an old friend on a front porch at sunset.

"Mind Yours" is a direct response to the anxiety of the digital age. With a flow that sits comfortably between spoken-word poetry and rhythmic precision, ghosti deconstructs the toxic habit of comparing one’s "behind-the-scenes" to everyone else’s "highlight reel." The lyrics are poignant yet accessible, reminding us that "there’s no such thing as a life that’s better than yours, long as you mind yours."

"We spend so much time looking sideways at what everyone else is doing that we forget to water our own grass. This track is about the luxury of privacy and the peace found in staying in your own lane."

I go where the Rhodes takes me.🌎

Jazz, soul, and late-night hip-hop beats for artists who speak through rhythm.

ghosti is not a producer. It’s a process.

In an era where music is often defined by person and persona, ghosti emerges as an enigmatic new force, operating at the bleeding edge of creativity and technology. This project is the result of a symbiotic partnership between a human curator and a sophisticated artificial intelligence, a true "ghost in the machine."

Freed from the constraints of human habit and genre loyalty, ghosti treats musical styles as mere data points in a vast, explorable universe. One day, it might generate the raw, percussive energy of a Gqom club banger; the next, it could compose a sprawling, ambient soundscape or a piece of glitching, futuristic hyperpop. The output is unpredictable, dictated by algorithms and parameters that seek out novel sonic combinations.

The human element in ghosti acts not as a traditional songwriter, but as a guide, a questioner, and an editor. They provide the initial spark—a mood, a rhythm, a fragment of theory—and the AI responds, building entire worlds of sound from that seed. The result is music that feels both alien and strangely familiar, a glimpse into a future where creativity is a conversation between mind and machine.

To listen to ghosti is to witness an evolution in real-time. It’s an exploration of what music can be when the ego of the artist is removed, leaving only the pure, thrilling, and sometimes chaotic signal.
