Antwon “Lap of Luxury”

No this hasn’t anything to do with the Micky Rocks tape that just dropped, not fucking with that shit even if you say I’m sleeping. If you’ve ever spent anytime in the Northwest in the Summer you know we got it pretty luxurious for a few months. Not too hot, nor too humid and with crystal clear blue skies and lots of water for it to reflect off of and you to dive into you really can’t go wrong up in these parts. Of course we pay for it in grey skies the rest of the year. What does this have to do with Antwon? Not a damn thing.

Just found this guy via Dream Collabo and he has a classic vintage vibe to his rap that doesn’t piss me off like much of the new Nas album – I ain’t trapped in the 90s Mr. Jones and you haven’t been until now, so what gives? I realize praise is being lumped on top this album live nothing the guy has dropped since ’94 but shit, are y’all just jocking because he finally gave you something like Illmatic? Truth be told it’s no where close. Sonically, perhaps. But softer. Then again maybe I’m just hating cause everyone else is loving.

Enough venting, all I really wanted to do with this post was draw your attention to this individual Antwon who I know next to nothing about. He reps San Jose, which I couldn’t even pick out on a map. It sounds old and new at the same time. This particular track features a fun beat you won’t be mad at looping in the sun. He raps with authority, a booming voice commanding your ear. There are some horns in there too that aid in the grooviness.

As the title suggests, he is pretty much just bragging about how he finds his luxury in his life be it hanging with bad chicks or smoking better weed than you. Its a fun song that doesn’t ask to be taken seriously, just had fun to. Enjoy the weekend y’all!
