Rewind continues to open the doors to all the good stuff we left behind, and this week we pick up Das Racist and their second mixtape. The guest-list for starters is more than impressive – from Jay-Z, over to Diplo, take in a bit of Teengirl Fantasy, check in on Chairlift, work with el-p and go for a joint effort with Roc Marciano. And that’s just a quick Bowlegs’ skim over a few of those involved – a clear signal of the band’s eclectic taste.
With such an impressive roster of producers and guest performers the songs remain cohesive, thanks to the over-flowing personality that is Das Racist – these guys can make a rap out of most things. Check ‘hahahaha jk?’ , listing chips over some looping strings and a kicking around breakbeat. The European styled electronics on the Chairlift produced (and featuring) ‘Fashion Party’ is another world, the guests singing between the bass-sliding, funked-up verses. Big claps on the Diplo ‘You Can Sell Anything’, chopped up samples switch and swap in ‘Return to Innocence’ – with an Enigma styled riff wavering throughout.
The New York based trio have set it out on their second release – and guess what , you can have it for free right now – just head here: Das Racist
