Cool-Aid as neo-soul | | but it wouldn't exactly be right, either. The duo's work has all | | the warmth and feel of the Soulquarians, but their spin on it is | | decidedly more rugged and rap-centric. Long Beach, CA producer Ahwlee | | favors the sound of Dilla's solo productions rather than his work | | with that collective And Pink Siifu, the musical polymath from | | Cincinnati, Ohio, moves between rapping and singing so subtly that | | the distinction between the two is often negligible. In short, | | B. Cool-Aid situate themselves comfortably at the intersection of | | neo-soul and indie rap. | | | | Syrup, the group's new seven-track EP, is their best offering yet, a | | cohesive record that manages to feel expansive despite its brief | | runtime. That expansiveness is due largely to Ahwlee's beats, which | | are downtempo, loose, and open. Then, of course, there are Siifu's | | lax staccato rhymes and his honeyed, raspy singing, both of which | | warrant favorable comparisons to Anderson .Paak. | | | | In addition to being more soulful than the group's 2017 debut, BRWN, | | which skewed closer to R&B, Syrup is heavier thematically. While the | | sun-dappled "me&u" is a brilliant and nostalgic love song, it's the | | only one. Siifu primarily uses Ahwlee's suites to reflect on the more | | harrowing aspects of the black experience. On "syruphands," for | | instance, where Ahwlee loops ballad-turned-lowriding-staple "Sitting | | in the Park," Siifu laments the deaths of black people in | | neighborhood parks around the world. It's as though Ahwlee's beats | | are an analgesic for the pain Siifu explores. In this respect and | | others, Syrup offers relief as much as it inspires deep thinking. | | | | | | Produced by Ahwlee. | | Lyrics by Pink Siifu. | | Mixed & Mastered by Swarvy. | | | | A&R, Project Coordination by Ace. | | Photography by Barrington Darius. | | Design & Layout by Maks. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2019-=----------------------/__\--'
