Meant to post this Father John Misty cut a while ago, I’ve been listening to it steadily for the past month. Please pardon me, and enjoy…
Late Pass
OOOUUU
Late Pass, Music, VideosHeard this song on Hot 97 and then Power 105 at the same time the other day coming home from work. Nice to hear new New York rap shit on the radio, song is tough. Props to Young M.A she’s nice with it.
Sampha Soul
Late Pass, Music, VideosSampha—the UK singer/songwriter with the super ill voice that is best known for his appearance Drake’s heartfelt Nothing Was The Same song “Too Much”—is gearing up to release a new project this year. Check out an exclusive, piano-only peak at his latest song “Plastic 100°C” above, and peep performances of his single “Timmy’s Prayer” and a cover of Air’s “All I Need” live on BBC Radio 1 below, also piano-only. Everything is excellent.
The studio version of “Timmy’s Prayer” is fire, too.
Stay tuned for more Sampha.
Vibin In This Bih
Late Pass, MusicIf you read Westcheddar on the reg, you know this isn’t exactly my lane. But a dope rap song is a dope rap song, and that’s exactly what this is.
I’ve been hearing a lot about Kodak Black for the past few months, so I checked his new tape out last week and this song immediately caught me. He sounds like a young Lil Wayne, or a least a kid who was heavily influenced by him. Kodak’s saying some slick shit in his verse, and his flow is nasty over this beat. Plus Southern living legend Gucci Mane makes a feature fresh out of prison, and he’s got a couple fun quotables as well. Give it a go—this is what the kids are listening to and I’m not mad at it.
The Program
Late Pass, Music
I’m getting a little antsy waiting on Action Bronson’s new tape Blue Chips 7000, so I decided to dive deep into his archives and check out the first tape he ever released—The Program produced by Don Producci. Not sure why I’ve never listened to this considering Bam Bam’s my favorite rapper ever—I always considered Dr. Lecter to be his true debut—but there’s some dope shit on here! “Amuse Bouche” is my early favorite, and there are others with that same Dr. Lecter-era Bronson feel too.

The Odd Tape
Late Pass, Music, My Dudes
It’s That Talk Again
Late Pass, MusicJust stumbled upon a Broken Bells loosie released last year that I’d never heard before. How did I miss this? Oh well, shit’s super dope so I’m posting now. Thank you Spotify Discover tab!
Repeat After Me
Late Pass, Music, The Good Old DaysI saw Dante Ross tweet this out last week, pardon me for just getting around to posting it. But those familiar with Main Source’s “Vamos A Rapiar” will recognize the sample taken from this The Three Sounds “Repeat After Me” record. But Dante, you are mistaken in giving props to Large Pro for the sample! The man is a genius, but it was actually his fellow crate-digging buddy Pete Rock who gave it to him. Read the back story HERE.
Aren’t You Embarrassed?
Comedy, Late Pass, VideosI know I’m late but this dude Sebastian Maniscalco is off the hook. I haven’t laughed this hard watching a stand-up comedian in years. He’s extremely observant and says hilarious shit, but his grills and physical movements are just as funny. Check out his bit above about Chipotle from his 2014 special Aren’t You Embarrassed? and then one below that’s near and dear to my heart about Passover.
Watch the full special HERE.
Red Clay
Late Pass, Music, The Good Old DaysYo! My boy Gippamaldi just sent me this Jack Wilkins gem, which you’ll quickly notice is the sample from A Tribe Called Quest’s “Sucka Nigga.” He had never heard it until today, and neither had I! Shit is flames, for real. Gotta see what else this guy’s got, I’ve been sleeping.
