Larry June reminds me of that one cool uncle you only see at cookouts. You’ll never catch him without a plus-one or a fresh coat of wax on his car. He’ll teach you everything you need to know to live a life as serene as his, like the perfect angle to lean your car seat back or how to drink D’usse straight from the bottle without feeling your chest heat up. “Now we back to the crib, she wanna Netflix and chill/Lookin’ at her pretty face, make me wanna—”he raps, interrupting himself with an “ay, ay, ayy” before he says anything too much. Larry June’s tranquil lifestyle raps always feel luxurious, even when he’s rapping about grabbing green tea and calamari from the next town over.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
