Can I make it work to have distortion heavy, guitar led tracks in a playlist with Gucci? That was the jump off point for this playlist. I think I made it work, personally. Opinions are welcome. Share them in the comments. As much as a themed playlist can be fun, I enjoy a smattering of genres in one playlist more, I think. I’m a fan of random interludes - a 30s jazz track you never saw coming between Cardi B and Death From Above 1979. It keeps things fresh feeling imo. There are myriad ways to approach playlist creation. I find them all appropriate at different times. The impossible pairings keep me on my toes tho.
This playlist gives you ATL flavor with Mattiel, Young Baby Tate and Gucci. You get some female led rock with Mattiel and Charlotte Gainsbourg. International music from Flavia Coelho and DAM serve as an awesome energetical bridge between the beginning of the playlist and middle where we transition to a more hip hop vibe. DAM is of particular interest to me as they strike a global social justice chord with this song and their m.o. The refrain of Milliardat translates to “billions of dollars just to keep us separated.” I highly recommend a dive into this group and what they represent on the global stage. I heavily fuck with Pooh Shiesty, YBT and love this song by Amber Mark. I don’t think I have a favorite song on this playlist tbh. It’s good all the way to the end when the energy starts to simmer - after Killgxxd’s Y.I.M.B. Give it a listen and leave your comments below!
