Slow Charmer from Westerman

September 1, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When you first press play on this new Westerman give it some time. You’ll likely be struck by the immediate power of voice, but as the song progresses, depth of layers are added, fleshing out the track into something quite stunning. Slowed beats, strings and strummed guitar reverberate around the voice…all leading towards the final moments. Just after the 2:11 mark, this number blasts off into euphoria, and you’ll find sure-fire joy echoing in your ears. He’ll be releasing his Call and Response EP on October 6th via Blue Flowers.

FTC: Dr. Octagon

Usually we don’t do a lot of write-ups on hip-hop, but that’s mostly because we don’t know too much about it, but we do know about this guy. Kool Keith has been all over the place for years, sometimes as KK, sometimes as Black Elvis, but his most prominent persona for me is Dr. Octagon. His rhmyes are odd, and quite vulgar, but not in a “I just want to cuss a lot way,” more in a disturbed MC sort of way. I used to listen to the first record, Dr. Octagonecolgyst (the best in my opinion), all the time in college. For some reason, I just felt like travleing down memory lane with this record today. Blue Flowers!
