Couldn't see a thread about this so started one. Instant banger with typically lovely lyrics! New album uknowhatimsayin¿ (executive produced by Q-Tip) coming later this autumn!

Amaaaaazing!

 

EDIT - I hope Radio 1 give this a chance.

Have R1 ever given him a chance? I nick most of my music from R1 so 25 Bucks must have come from somewhere, even if it was a classic C-C-C-OUT. Flipping love his song with Gorillaz and Kehlani too, best thing on that album. Glorious song, really puts the rather rubbish Now Now into perspective.

No, they've never playlisted him - 6Music have. I thought “Ain’t It Funny” might have been but sadly no and even that Rustie collab in 2014 just got rotation on Zane Lowe. : (

6 Music is bizarre, most of the time it's stuff a 1990s NME reader wouldn't switch off but every so often they back something R1 should be all over.

TUNE! That had such lovely family-friendly lyrics too!

 

I have it on at work - the occasional dud (I'm looking at you Iggy Pop) but overall a much more varied & interesting listen with loads of discoveries old & new !

In an age of Xanaxy downtempo mumble rap, he is much needed.

I do find 6 Music give too many free passes to indie veterans phoning it in. If it shared more indie/alternative music with R1, I'd be far more interested. It used to! Iggy Pop and Johnny Marr are prime examples of people trading on former glories and getting away with it, excuse the pun.

Yes, the Iggy Pop track - “James Bond” - is literally unlistenable and just gets a free pass because of his association with the station. See: Guy Garvey's solo stuff.

 

Infuriating but worth sticking with because of the great tracks that do get played.

Agreed! Not sure what happened to Rustie, seemed to be really prolific mid-2010s then sort of disappeared.

Yeah, there's so much music to get through and I do try to give a lot of 6 Music stuff a chance on streaming. Lols at Dexter and Sinister by Elbow, so pretentious and crap. You're not Talk Talk!

His one with AlunaGeorge was fire too, not sure where I nicked that one from, maybe it went C-C-C-OUT on R1 but I may have nicked it from Mr Lowe!

I don't really care much for this song but the features on his upcoming album are pretty exciting so am keeping an eye out for that ~ (Danny Brown is an artist I've never paid as much attention to as I probably should, '25 Bucks' was a great song though).
