Staff Picks: Best Songs of the Week May 23rd - May 29th
Bossman Dlow and Megan Thee Stallion deliver “Motion Party (Remix),” pairing Dlow’s cocky pursuit of an equal partner with Megan’s matching intensity. The remix keeps the production rooted in Khia’s 2002 “My Neck, My Back,” while Megan’s lyrics press for a partner with motion rather than stiffness. Gilla Band return after four years with “Giraffe,” starting from a commanding bassline that evolves into scratchy guitars and turbulent post-punk before turning into a dub-heavy dance-punk track. J Noa’s “ANTISISTEMA,” produced by Trooko, features rapid, fiery verses and early dominance, then shifts into a reggaeton detour before snapping back to the original momentum.
"BossMan Dlow is the definition of a cocky rapper, and his latest single, "Motion Party," sees the MC pursuing an equal partner for his escapades. Enter: Megan Thee Stallion. While she may not be his romantic counterpart, Megan matches BossMan Dlow's energy on the remix, which keeps the same production based on Khia's 2002 hit "My Neck, My Back." "You want a beggin' ass bitch or a rich one?" Megan demands. "You want a bitch with some motion, or a stiff one?" Well, Ms. Stallion, when you put it like that... - Kiana Fitzgerald"
"For the first time in 4 years, the Dublin-based Gilla Band have released new music. "Giraffe" begins with a commanding bassline blending into scratchy guitars and a turbulent post-punk arrangement makes a sharp turn into a throbbing, dub-heavy dance-punk track. While describing the lyrics of an Irish band as "Joycean" can feel like beating a dead horse, with an abundance of stream-of-consciousness lyrics like "Burping the beta-bet, little death, soft teeth, gappy little freak," it's difficult not to. - Kelly Darroch"
"The charismatic Dominican rapper J Noa is back with "ANTISISTEMA," a Trooko-produced banger that showcases her chameleonic abilities behind the mic. The verses find her rapping at a quick, fiery pace set against a swaggering mid-tempo beat, asserting her dominance early on and bringing plenty of drama. But then, right at the 2-minute mark, the track breaks down and Noa rises through with a spirited reggaeton detour - before we get too comfortable, though, she and Trooko switch us right back"
