es.cher and YT team up for this offbeat lofi infused experimental track titled “Yoshi.” The production is a mix of sublime and soothing textures peppered by sparse soft drums and samples from Yoshi the dragon. The dynamics of the beat is noticeable and as it progresses it gets a bit warped and the drum grooves change as well. YT performs a verse at the start too but the mix makes it feel like es.cher actually sampled the rapper’s vocals. It’s quite different and engaging to be honest.

This is just a warm up for me until I drop In the Loop We Trust, Vol. 1 next month. I’m just having fun with it right now.
Eclectic producer Karan Viegas shares this conceptual posse cut titled “Circus Freestyle” which details the story of a leopard who was captured in the Serengeti and placed in a circus. The track sees Viegas recruiting the help of Broadway singer Bongi Duma, and Indian rappers Smokey the Ghost, and Arshaq Malik to help bring it to life. Smokey the Ghost assumes the role of the leopard while Malik plays the poacher in this engaging track. The production is quite off-kilter and experimental for the most part as it takes elements from soul/jazz, African rhythms, and some hip-hop into the mix. Both rappers do deliver the goods as they share detailed imagery of the situation bringing listeners closer to the action as we listen to find out the fate of the leopard.
The animated visual is crafted by Argentinian artist German Jorge, whose unique pictorial style gives it an authentic and eye-catchy feel.
Karan Viegas is a Brooklyn-based instrumentalist/producer with Indian roots.
