OGM x NFR Podcast | A Crossover Special: Rolling Loud LA, Kendrick Lamar, Playboi Carti & More! Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

#OGM #NFRPodcast #OurGenerationMusic

“It’s the best collab since Taco Bell and KFC.” Just like when Timmy Turner and Jimmy Neutron joined forces for their iconic “Timmy Jimmy Power Hour” in 2004, OGM and NFR are breeding community amongst both fan bases.

Our Generation Music’s Hakeem Rowe sat down with @NFRPodcast hosts Luca Guerini and Anthony D'Aliesio as they visited Los Angeles (for the very first time) to take in Rolling Loud California. The podcast — which covers a diverse range of evergreen topics in rap, music reviews, audio listicles, live listenings and more — has become a tastemaker’s earworm bred from the confines of Hip Hop Twitter.

The Montreal-based duo are hip-hop heads to their core, as all three hosts discuss everything from the influence of Playboi Carti, the originality of new wave stars like Yeat and Eem Triplin, artistic evolution, taste-making, most underrated/most anticipated albums of 2022-23, Kendrick Lamar and much more in this OGM x NFR crossover special.

King Princess: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 4 Streams • 4 years ago

Hazel Cills | November 2, 2022
There is a sly, casual sense of humor that permeates the music of Mikaela Mullaney Straus, who writes and performs as King Princess. Her songs mix the emotions of crushing love and lust with playful asides of self-deprecation, all of which make for a unique, self-assured style. And that self-assuredness is on full display in the indie pop singer's Tiny Desk concert, featuring King Princess performing three songs from her most recent album, Hold On Baby.

Lyrics like, "You look the same. Did you stop smoking weed? Or trying to please your dad?" from the opening "Cursed" — an ode to the difficulties of encountering an old, toxic friend — burn a little brighter in the naked, largely acoustic sound of King Princess' set. Partway through the next song, the loving "Winter is Hopeful," explicitly inspired by the artist's girlfriend, she takes a beat to laugh at a set of bar chimes being rung to perfection. "I love that," she says, before returning to sing, her voice vibrating with a soulful urgency.

"If you're feeling saucy today, you can join in with the band," King Princess says before her finale, "Let Us Die," a punchy, fuzzed-out pop-rock song on the record that transforms here into a guitar-strummed jam session. "If the only way to love you is to let us die," she sings, her lyrics pulling together images of a break-up that's like a car driven off a cliff, poison-drinking and fingers stuck in sockets, "I will if I have to." Is this girl for real? If the gut-punching confidence with which King Princess sings here is any indication, yes, she is.
