<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Dallas rapper Soulzay and Houston rapper Slim Guerilla are Southern hip-hop revivalists. Soulzay seems to drop a UGK-inspired track every few weeks, and Slim Guerilla\u2019s past few mixtapes have their genesis in a blown-out version of 1990s Texan rap. So it\u2019s no surprise that their latest collaboration uses a remix of Kid Frost\u2019s 1995 G-funk classic \u201cEast Side Rendezvous\u201d as the basis for its production. Over this smooth, guitar-infused beat, Soulzay and Slim Guerilla deliver self-motivated lines in their respective flows. Soulzay sounds a bit like Paul Wall, but more laid back. He seems to rap more for tone than content, peppering his lines with comforting little details. Slim Guerilla is more active, starting his section with, \u201cSG Bruce Lee\/Watch me make this track flip.\u201d Guerilla\u2019s lines are head-nodders made for immediate consumption; he jokes about being a Houston Rocket chilling with the Dallas Mavericks and mocks people who ask him where his bars are. It\u2019s rap revivalism delivered with grace.<\/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
