Kill Your Darlings<\/em>, the latest album from Hartford, Connecticut producer and rapper blckwndr, is a wild melange of hard-hitting beats, obscure movie samples, and heavy bars. At its best, it sounds like a Madlib album, and blckwndr can be as taciturn as MIKE or as absurd and goofy as Danny Brown. Standout \u201cLord and the Lightning\u201d takes its name from the lyrics of the song it samples: the 5th Dimension\u2019s cover of \u201cStoned Soul Picnic.\u201d Over a stuttered and slowed-down section of the song, blckwndr goes off: \u201cLife is short\/This shit pretend to be\/Take a moment rest in peace to all my enemies.\u201d After dispatching his challengers and proclaiming himself the best ever to do it, he hands the mic to Lord Juco, a Toronto rapper with links to the Griselda crew. Juco brings an earnest grit to his section, pummeling over the production with soulful asides and straight truth (\u201cFocus on others was my decline\u201d). Even when he\u2019s not rapping, you can hear blckwndr whooping along in the back. He knows what he\u2019s got here is good.<\/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
