In advance of their Locals Only show coming up this Saturday night at Neumos, Brothers From Another (featuring Mario Sweet crooning and Nima Skeemz and Elan Wright on production) present a synth-heavy, bouncy pop ditty, “Love Yourself.” A musical pat on the back in preparation for summer.
Seattle-based rapper Donte Peace built with Los Angeles-based director Kenneth Wynn for “God Body,” a joint from Peace’s recent Locals Only EP. Donte remains a refreshing and unpredictable MC, able to hold your attention with his lyrical movements that feel like stream-of-consciousness but also contain hidden complexities.
Seattle rap upstart Donte Peace dropped this new EP, Locals Only, last month. According to the artist, there are two sides to this album’s story: Side A is “relaxed” and “chill,” and Side B is full of “bangers.” You be the judge.
