Been running this back lately because I completely forgot they dropped this year. Always love what they cook up. It’s always interesting and I get a few tunes that’ll get run back constantly.

I've been digging into the back catalog of the late, great Paten Locke the past week. This album is one of the standouts of a really stacked discography and found me right in time for the lovely spring weather we've been experiencing in Pittsburgh. The Smile Rays was a Jacksonville, FL group comprised of Paten Locke (fka DJ Therapy) on raps, Batsauce on beats, and Lady Daisey on sung vocals. This album is an absolute ray of sunshine. It's firmly hip-hop but with a sense of fun and play that feels very refreshing. Stylistically, it's somewhere along the lines of the first wave of DITC crew releases (like Showbiz & AG's Runaway Slave or Diamond D's Stunts, Blunts, and Hip-Hop) and 90s alternative sampledelica a la Deee-Lite, Towa Tei, Cibo Matto, & Cornelius. If you're looking for some top tier Summer music, this is it, look no further. It will be getting a lot of burn from me!

I’ve been listening to a lot of the same maybe ten tracks over the past few weeks, and then I found out about “Otha Fish” thru a @sleepingongems IG post (it had to do a Fantastic Four rap aside). Anyway, it’s a fun listen and I enjoyed the production and the full embrace of whimsy in this album. It’s one of those albums I wouldn’t have appreciated until I was older if I’m keeping it a stack but I found it at the right time

Don’t be that person. Mf got a banana and a Celsius, something is going down and they need to make a quick exit. You got mad vegetables anyway, let the cashier breathe a little before they struggle to remember how to ring up them green onions you copping.

I have no context at all but I love it. Feels like I’m missing out but that’s alright it’s just good to hear somebody having a big ol belly laugh and enjoying this shit while we’re breathing.

I just want to show love to the ELITE Bagel. Whoever was the freak that was like “hear me out let’s put blueberry’s in the dough”, I know they were looking at you crazy but you knew you had a hit on your hands.
