010: ICEMAN / MAID OF HONOUR / HABIBTI | Greetings Earthworms

To anyone who got finessed by my clickbait Drake reactions, I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you by giving you this new episode of Greetings Earthworms in which Hester & I discuss all three of the new Iceman Aubrey albums. After a long discussion about Drizzy Drake the 6 God, I quickly recommend new releases from Vic Spencer, Stik Figa & Heather Grey, Isaiah Rashad, and Sage the 64th Wonder & pty. Afterward, Hester recommends new music from Sasco, and DJ Haram & Sha Ray. Then we talk about two upcoming films we are planning on seeing: Scary Movie 6 (not me tho that’s a solo mission for Hester), and the new film from Boots Riley, I Love Boosters. We finish the episode with a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Thank you to Height Keech & TLR for creating the new intro & outro respectively. Check this episode out and leave a comment if you have thoughts on anything in this discussion. ✌🏽

p.s. This show is also available on Apple Podcasts (unless you’re in Israel) & YouTube (probably the best place to listen tbh).

This was a hectic year for me, so obviously this is being published way later than it should have been. I was busy catching up on releases until late last night, so I didn’t feel like I had heard enough to put together this playlist. Anyway, shoutout to Kembe X & Hippie Sabotage for releasing my favorite album of the month with Sleep Paralysis. Kembe X is gearing up to release a follow-up EP on October 25th, so that’s really exciting. Sleep Paralysis is definitely one of my most played albums of the year. Particularly the songs Kill Everything in the Way & Baby I’m Up. I also go back to the Isaiah Rashad feature on Rolling Stoned a lot. The new project is called “it’s not that deep,” and there are already a few singles out, all of which are fire. I suggest starting with the Ab-Soul collaboration, Introverted, Extrovert. It’s boiling hot fire. Anyway, below are the Apple Music and Spotify versions of my March 2024 playlist. Throw it on shuffle and let me know what your favorite tracks are. Peace!
