TG* TV S2 Episode 8: Practice

Not quoting Allen Iverson here but yes, I am talkin' 'bout practice. I wanted to acknowledge that I haven't done enough of it in between these monthly TG* TV drops. So I took on "Practice" from Freddie Gibbs' & Madlib's second collaborative album- 2019's Bandana- to rectify that. Also I found out Gibbs dropped $oul [...]

TG* TV S2 Episode 7: XO (Sold Out)

With the theme of collaboration in this season of TG* TV, I looked to one of my current favorites in pulses. (please include the period) out of Virginia. The band joins forces with pop artist Zach Benson for its latest single "XO (Sold Out)". Here's my take on the track. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ch8CYDog9JA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

TG* TV S2 Episode 5: R U Ready

That's the name of this un(officialy)released track by EDM duo TNGHT. I remember the waves Hudson Mohawke and Lunice made when they joined forces in 2011-2012. This track even landed HudMo production credits on Kanye West's Yeezus album. This was the appropriate track to announce I will be releasing my first new song since the [...]

TG* TV S2 Episode 4: Fly As Me

Silk Sonic was one of the groups I had in mind when coming up with inspiration for the second "season" of TG* TV. The concept of two established artists coming together for a project fit my theme of highlighting collaborations well. Here's my take on "Fly As Me" off their 2021 album An Evening with [...]

TG* TV S2 Episode 3: Let You Down

TG* TV S2 Episode 2: 20/2(2) Vision

For this month's installment of TG* TV, I went back to my roots. The Cool Kids helped shape my identity as Token Genius, from doing early impressions of Chuck Inglish beats to reciting "A Little Bit Cooler" as a mantra for embracing individuality. They recently announced the upcoming release of their first album in nearly [...]

TG* TV Season 2 Concept/Episode 1

As previously stated, I am bringing back TG* TV, a series on Instagram's IGTV (for video >1 min) where I put a verse to a song I enjoy. When I started this series at the beginning of the coronavirus shutdown I didn't have a theme and had just started writing for Twentywanting. It evolved into [...]
