Whereas it was straightforward to pigeonhole Younger Posse as a joke after they first emerged, final yr’s g-funk nodding Ate That discovered the right steadiness between humorous and superior. There’s an enormous hole out there for colourful hip-hop that doesn’t take itself too severely, and Younger Posse really feel uniquely geared up to fill it. Due to this, new single Chilly is a shocking sidestep into extra maudlin territory.
It’s awkward to go from dancing by way of a Grand Theft Auto impressed wonderland to the drama of Chilly, however that is Okay-pop and issues transfer quick. The group has introduced singer-songwriter 10CM into the fold, immediately giving the monitor indie cred. And although they rap sometimes on the verses, many of the music is sung in a mushy, melancholic means. This may as properly be a unique group totally. I’m unsure if that versatility is thrilling or confounding. I suppose it may be each directly.
As for the music, Chilly is stable sentimental fare. At occasions apparently it might be an OST, and the cinematic music video follows that path as properly. The craving refrain and atmospheric manufacturing attracts affect from indie hip-hop acts like Epik Excessive and this throwback fashion is suitably nostalgic. The monitor drags a bit for me, however the refrain is fairly and the women convincingly painting the emotion essential to make this work. I gained’t be speeding again to this the way in which I did for Ate That, however it fulfills its purpose in portray their musical palette with a unique hue.
