![]() But it’s tracks like “TanGerine” and “Dangerous” that are the best synthesis of the West Coast sound and the Inglish aesthetic “Drops” is a solid title track, with bass as big and menacing as Deebo and slithering synths. It (the latter half) is a G-Funk infused Inglish. While the front half of the tape (# 1-4) sounds like a more mature version of the sound you know Chuck and the Cool Kids for, the latter (#6-9) seems as if Chuck has really started to expand his sound. Chuck is smooth and in the pocket each time out, and his features, most of whom I haven’t heard of-Who is Kashflow da God?-do their part in terms of offering a break from Chuck. The rapping, while not introspective or all that emotive-it’s not supposed to be-covers all the bases in terms bars written to accompany bass-rattling beats-clothes, women, weed, drops, etc. Ostensibly inspired by ” a night spent in a droptop Bonneville while in Austin, TX during SXSW” and “the summer vibes of LA,” it’s the record you’d expect from a Midwesterner who probably spent his youth listening to Premier, Pete Rock, and Dre, one who probably hoped to drop the prefix and ride his “ Black Mags” in the Cali sunshine.įrom intro (“Transmission) to closer (“Dangerous”) the tape is heads above most other material released gratis this year (Gates, almost anything Bronson, IamSu, and a few others are the exceptions). Maybe that’s why Droptops, the free (via Karmaloop) record from Chuck Inglish-producer/rapper responsible for the half-head nodding, half-winking (read: self-aware) contemporary boom-bap sound of The Cool Kids-makes as much sense as a cherry red 64 gliding down PCH leaving trails of THC.ĭroptops is Chuck’s short love letter to LA and LA hip-hop. And, honestly, the name’s always sounded like that of rapper who hails from Compton rather than Mount Clemens (Michigan). It sounds like the name of a man affiliated with O.E., a man who might drop some good rhymes in, well, English (On the block with a Robert Horry jersey from the Rockets/Poetic with my sonnets” – “Drops”).
