This is an interesting point, southern artists have taken over control and the direction of commercial rap, even in New York.

Gravity Chase - Paul Thomson

This is the ambient version of Voice. The piece is created from a flute improvisation loaded in a QU-Bit nebulae buffer combined with a voice like electronic texture from the Moog Mother-32 and granular delay algorithm of the Erica Synth Pico DSP. The plucking sound is produced with the frequency modulation (FM) model of the Mutable Instruments Plaits module.

There is a companion video on YouTube:

5 Years - Tha Grinch

Catch me smoked out in the back of the room
Write these curses for you wack mcs to meet your doom
I ain't slept in days my brainwaves aligned with the shrooms
Ripped the petals off the flowers I'm just inhaling the fumes
I tried to peep yall shit but it proved tedious
Fact of the matter is yall raps is trash
Yall ride the wave for fashion
This clout has gotten to your heads
Recycled verses about hollow tips and leaving opps dead
Peanut butter
Lemonade
Dutchie smoke
Candy keef roach
Alternate approach
Fly like coach
Another toast
Rays of sunshine
Poke down through clouds
Roasted
Coasting
Amethyst all on my wrist
That light looks good
Hands on her hips
Tongue tied
Locked lips
Eyes like vice grips
Bloodstream flow caffeine
THC keep me laughing
Your smile gives me hope
At the end of my rope
Take time to move slow
Maintaining my glow

If there's a big tournament in Hartford, Matt Costa will be there. He'll also be here to tell you about his weekend playing Golgari Yawgmoth in both events. In the meantime, Dave might be putting down Indomitable Creativity for the time being. 

Another friend of the show, Adam Snook, took Grixis Death's Shadow into Sunday's Top 8 and he might have converted his friends. We talk all things Death's Shadow, but then Matt brain wormed us toward the end. RC Denver is next weekend and now we're all in danger.
