Rookies Younger Posse have made a reputation for themselves with quirky hip-hop tracks and weird music movies with dangerous inexperienced display screen results. New single Ate That leans into each facets however stands as their greatest try but, embracing a full throated G-funk beat.

I’ve an enormous gentle spot for 90’s hip-hop, significantly when underlined by car-shaking grooves and funk-inspired synth. Ate That is clearly appropriative and appears to understand it, and that’s been a problematic side of Younger Posse’s music from the beginning. It requires some stage of cultural blinders from its listeners. Eradicating that side from the dialog, Younger Posse are at their greatest when performing goofy but concurrently taking the music itself fairly critically. Ate That strikes this steadiness, merging a foolish counted hook to a particularly credible instrumental that injects a way of enjoyable again into Okay-hip-hop.

I can’t stress sufficient how a lot I really like Ate That‘s manufacturing. In a market at the moment slowed down by subdued beats and two minute songs, it’s so refreshing to listen to a observe that feels prefer it’s actively attempting. The track itself doesn’t supply many killer punches, however that nearly doesn’t matter when the beat is so addicting and totally fleshed out. I’d love to listen to Younger Posse proceed down this route, mining one of the best concepts from the previous and injecting their very own fashionable contact.

(Sadly, the audio within the official music video add could be very distorted, so I’m additionally embedding the album model for comparability)
