We've all thought of Port Arthur, Texas's hip-hop scene as being dominated by Pimp C. Sadly his demise in 2007 left a vacuum of notable artists hailing from that area of the US. Now we're fortunate to see a few new talents on the horizon including today's subject: Lo Trillinger and his new track "U Remind Me (of my Slab). I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of the track and there are more than a few things to say about it.
First off, the beat - I'm really glad that the funk/soul aspects that were the sound of a generation (especially in the West Coast varieties) are still alive and well. The squealing synthesizer in the ether with thick laid-back chords gives for an ultimately sexy vibe. Lo Trillinger's voice is gruff and powerful, his lyrical chops on full display with rapid lyrics and passion permeating every bar of this track. It's more than worth a listen. I'm not sure if this track is out just yes - but luckily there is a thriving YouTube page here.
