Magnetic the Shaman & Brainorchestra - "Hand Over Fist" ft. DøøF, Lungs​/​/​LoneSword & phiik

Brain fog bullet point dispensation:
• Magnetic the Shaman is why Philly remains my second favorite city
• His 2023 album with Brainorchestra, Can't Wait for Patience = 🔥🚒🔥
• That's a firetruck on fire
• DøøF reps Virginia but I heard from around the way he used to stay in Merrick
• Me when Lungs says "Hakuna ... Matata": 💀
• For my money this is the best Phiik has ever sounded
• Seven "Days of Madness" until Planet X
• Me with "Hakuna ... Matata" stuck in my head: 🦁

Cashmere P & Ray Robinson connect like the GWB

Sixth-borough ties between Long Island and New Jersey go back generations, from Redman dropping acid on Erick Sermon's couch to Hammond organ rascals rocking the Austin Boulevard pothole tract. Into this tradition comes the collaboration of Jersey City rapper Cashmere P and Deer Park-by-way-of-Roosevelt producer Ray Robinson. Their latest Seven Bakin arrives in the wake of 2022's Skyberry. Those and more dwell below like boardwalk miscreants. And it's all marvelously deadly as the '90s comics that today's comic nerds now pretend to hate even though their entire mental aesthetic is based off of that shit.
