Ex-Das Racist und Swet Shop Boy Mitglied Heems hat letzten Monat ein fantastisches Album releast: Eat.Pray.Thug. Mit Hilfe von Harry Fraud, Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange) und Rafiq Bhatia. Das Rassenthema ist bei Heems schon immer ein Tragendes gewesen. So auch auf seinem neuen Album. Das Video zum ersten Track des Albums beinhaltet seine Kollegen Hannibal Buress und Eric Andre. Heems selbst sagt über den Song: “Sometimes” is about dualities, identity and the space between spaces. Like so many other people, as a first generation South Asian in the U.S. I often felt like I lived two lives, an Indian one and an American one. I lived, at once, in and between two spaces and outside them as well. On another level, I also often felt like in America I lived in the space between black and white. Dualities are normal though. As fun as rap is, I can’t always feel happy. Sometimes I feel sad too. It also pays homage to hip-hop before me with cadences referencing both Nice and Smooth and Busta Rhymes.“
Hier geht es zum ON TO THE NEXT ONE Artikel zu Heems‘ Swet Shop Boys.
Sometimes I got game
Sometimes I’m mad shy
Sometimes I’m mad lame
Sometimes I’m mad fly
Sometimes I’m so fly in the bay I’m hella fly
Sometimes I’ll get fried and it’ll be televised
Damn cuz everybody love you when your jam bust
Hit you on the phone, they be like, „let’s jam, bruv“
Yayo on the black tee, homie, no dandruff
Two weeks later, you broke and taking the damn bus
