ZelooperZ’s new tape Get WeT.Radio is inspired by a Spotify playlist left by his father, to whom the album is dedicated. It sounds like the Bruiser Brigade rapper’s spin on the type of soulful records you’d hear on your local throwback radio station—the fourth track even opens with a clip from Detroit’s V98.7 smooth jazz channel. Over a Dilip instrumental, which sounds like Kenny G punched up by thumping percussion, ZelooperZ uses his distinctive murmuring flow to reminisce on relationship struggles and blurry hardships. My favorite part though is Apropos’ slick hook, which has the feel of Mr. Serv-On’s sensitive goon chorus’ from late ’90s No Limit tapes.
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.
Check out previous Ones, and listen to new rap from ZelooperZ and more on our Spotify playlist.
