Hearken to Tommy Continual’s “Hootology” [ft. al.divino, BoriRock, and Shaykh Hanif]: New Rap Music Immediately

Tommy Continual: “Hootology” [ft. al.divino, BoriRock, and Shaykh Hanif]

DJ Tommy Continual’s Loosies sequence affords a stable temperature verify for what’s happening within the Boston underground. On his third set up, he compiles all kinds of native rap to cut and screw, full with the entire scratches and syrupy vibes you’d count on. My private favourite is his model of “Hootology,” a three-man weave from prolific rapper and producer al.divino’s 2022 album Weapons&Butter (the opposite two spitters are BoriRock and Skaykh Hanif). His slow-mo edit is a cool twist; the mild soul loop turns psychedelic and added scratches and gunshots preserve the depth of the unique intact. It’s a reminder {that a} good chopped and screwed remix doesn’t merely simply decelerate the vocals however make an outdated track really feel new.

With artists releasing songs at a quick and livid tempo, it’s tough for the common hip-hop head to maintain observe of all of it—irrespective of how tapped in they’re. That’s why we created The Ones, a every day publish to focus on the track it’s good to hear.
