Poitier // Validity

Thanks to the awesome Pasta Primavera, my day took a sudden turn for the better. He introduced me to Poitier, and all of a sudden the world doesn’t look so crappy anymore. Poitier is first and foremost a hip-hop artist, but to leave it at that would be a heinous crime. There is so much more to him and listening to his music is just pure enjoyment. The diverse genres of music that he taps into make it clear that he is fully immersed in the current independent music scene (he even samples The xx’s “Intro” on his track “Catch 21”).

If you enjoy the pop-culture immersed, self-aware music of cats like Das Racist or Childish Gambino then you will no doubt enjoy Poitier’s mixtape Validity. You can download the whole thing for free on his tumblr page. I can’t recommend it enough. I am just really really enjoying it. So get on it.

…

for instance: “I’m Poppin”
