Listening to Sideshow rap feels like flipping through an old and dusty photo album as he gives you a vivid anecdote to go with every picture. The Ethiopia-born rapper relocated when he was eight to D.C. and he makes extremely personal music; I feel like I know him a little bit better with every verse. Last year, his breakout moment came when he went toe-to-toe with Boldy James on the Alchemist\u2019s warm and fuzzy-sounding EP cut \u201cTV Dinners.\u201d He carries that momentum into his latest project Wegahta Tapes Vol. 1<\/em>. The one I\u2019ve replayed the most is \u201cHenrik Clarke Kent,\u201d where, over a familiar yet soothing Evidence beat, Sideshow mixes clear-eyed reflections with words of advice from his close circle: \u201cMy brother from the land where they talkin\u2019 in all clicks\/Told me \u2018Life hard don\u2019t trip over small shit\/And pick your words wise don\u2019t speak all that nonsense\u2019.\u201d The steady and lowkey register delivery he uses contributes to the intimate feel. It\u2019s a comforting slice-of-life portrait.<\/p>\n

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it\u2019s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all\u2014no matter how tapped in they are. That\u2019s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.<\/em><\/p>\n
