Ivan Ave – Obedience

This hip-hop artist from Norway sets the tone for this mini playlist. Produced by MNDSGN and released through Jakarta Records, the soulfulness of this track keeps you warm while still having a reminiscent aura of winter feels.

Anderson .Paak – The Bird

The Bird is the opening track to Malibu, which is his second album under the moniker Anderson .Paak. The beginning riff immediately sucks you in, his voice enters, and then next thing you know, you’re five songs deep.  If you like genre benders, this is for you.

Jordan Rakei – A Tribe Called Government

Who knew Australia had soul like this? The title of this album is Groove Curse, if that’s any indication for expectations. It’s so smooth you could probably melt butter with it. All written and produced by Rakei himself.

MED, Madlib, Blu – Burgundy Whip

Go ahead, try and name a better trio of rappers on a track… I’ll be waiting. That’s all I have to say about that.

Kaytranada – Bus Ride ft. Karriem Riggins and River Tiber

Right off of Kaytranada’s first full length album 99.9%. No other producer pulls off collaborations like this Haitian Montreal native does. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your dreams or when you’re feeling some type of way.
