Whereas it was simple to pigeonhole Younger Posse as a joke after they first emerged, final 12 months’s g-funk nodding Ate That discovered the proper 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 outfitted to fill it. Due to this, new single Chilly is a stunning sidestep into extra maudlin territory.
It’s awkward to go from dancing by means 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 observe indie cred. And although they rap sometimes on the verses, a lot of the tune is sung in a comfortable, melancholic manner. This would possibly as effectively be a unique group fully. I’m unsure if that versatility is thrilling or confounding. I suppose it may be each without delay.
As for the tune, Chilly is stable sentimental fare. At instances it seems that it might be an OST, and the cinematic music video follows that path as effectively. The craving refrain and atmospheric manufacturing attracts affect from indie hip-hop acts like Epik Excessive and this throwback type is suitably nostalgic. The observe 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 best way I did for Ate That, however it fulfills its goal in portray their musical palette with a unique hue.
