Y'all have a personal favourite that doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of music? Here is mine. Cool underground hip hop hailing from France, but they be rappin' in English so y'all can understand shit for once (and the dude is French-English so he doesn't even have a shitty froggo accent). I don't think any album represents 2012 so well for me: finishing high school and entering uni, chilling with mates, drink and smoke, the infamous iTunes' animations. This was our soundtrack of that transitioning time. Quitting that sentimental bullshit, the EP is Chill Bump's best representation: keep it short (18 minutes), energetic (quick rapping and beats inspired by turntablism) and fun to shout along (I'M HIGH ON SEX AND MY BROAD IS A LIONNESS). Comparing this obscure 5 to yesterday's Clever Girl, this doesn't even have a secret cult following. It's not totally unknown, but they will for sure never make it big, and it's more than likely it will stay that way. At the very worse it will stay a personal favourite. s/o to my boy Bedex.
