Das Racist and Talib Kweli connect on this track off the Mosholu mixtape from Eastern District and bring all the moody beats, convoluted flows and street-level phenomenology you would expect from a track called “The Actual.” And in DR’s case manage to do it without ever losing their trademark goofball charisma, those throwaway, I’m-smarter-than-you-even when-I’m-half-awake type rhymes. See the opening bars–”Game supernatural; ouiji / the kid to clean; squeaky / windshield : squeegee…see me?”–for a prime example. Stream below and get the full mixtape here.
