When you think of Florida, you generally think of messy, silly things and some dodgy retirees in golf buggies. Of course, there’s so much more to the area than simply being America’s wang. There’s good music down there. From Jacksonville, there’s SAILORR, who has a fair amount of buzz around them at the minute, thanks…

He’s one of the hardest lyricists on the planet, with almost unmatched wordplay for the most part, and with that, has come a legend cemented in the underground. He’s not likely to trouble a Top 40, but that’s not Aesop Rock’s M.O., so that’s fine. There’s a new track from a new album to listen…

Hey! Happy Monday to you. If you’ve been appreciating how summer is drawing nearer and the weather generally feels a bit warmer and nicer, then you’re probably going to like the new one from tuneful rapper Aminé.

IS JADE THIRWALL THE MOST INTERESTING POPSTAR WE HAVE?
