The grimy “Black Pancakes” is the latest release from Irish rapper Reijie Snow. The follow-up track to Snow’s recent Rejovich mixtape, “Black Pancakes” school of Madlib instrumental does well to complement and support the Dublin rapper’s menacing but also oddly anodyne soothing flow and diction.

Metabeats collab w/ Action Bronson from last year “Hookers”, gets a “cocaine on the marble floors” 80’s-leaning “VIP” remix from one Metabeats himself. Too cool.

The cast (MED, Blu, Madlib & Mayer) should be all you need to know w/ this latest “The Buzz” joint from Stones Throw. Madlib’s no stress orchestra-loop led production and Mayer’s silky falsetto are (no surprise) a velvet glove fit for MED and Blu’s west coast flowin’.
