Lushlife- Big Sur (from Plateau Vision, Western Vinyl, 2012)
While we don’t typically premiere tracks over here at Space Age Hustle, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be the first to share Philly rapper Lushlife’s new single, “Big Sur”, from his forthcoming album Plateau Vision, due April 17th off of Western Vinyl. We’ve been checking for dude since his head-turning track with SAH favorite Cities Aviv, “She’s A Buddhist, I’m a Cubist”, where dude spits some slick rhymes that juxtapose well with Cities’ baritone flow. “Big Sur” features some lush, psychedelic production from Botany that recalls Edan’s best tracks, as well as fellow Philly natives, the Roots, at their loosest. On the vocals, Lushlife spits hard again, referencing one of rap’s best one-off tracks ever, Smoothe da Hustler and Trigger tha Gambler’s “Broken Language”. Definitely will be checking for the album. Take a listen.
