Tearing it up recently all along the northeast with his Planet Cognac compadres Space Jesus and Esseks, M!NT is making himself a force to be reckoned with through a unique fusion of bass and hip-hop. Not to be confused with cheesy festival trap, the Brooklyn native seems to have a knack for the minimal, beautiful side of the genre.
Collaborating with high school bud PWEST, you can sense the synergy between the two on this one; the beats are never too forced, and the lyricism is never too in-your-face. Once you click play, a well drawn out intro leads up to a certified mean muggin’ beat dropped at the 1:10 mark. Rewind a few months and you’ll remember M!NT’s coming out party at Burning Man, laying down a set touching from the smoothest of hip-hop to the funkiest of bass.
You can be sure this won’t be the last collab we’ll hear from these two buds so keep your eyes peeled. For all of you in the tri-state area, it’s your duty as a fan of good music to go to Webster Hall on 11/28 (Black Friday), because in the basement will be WRR favorites #$, Esseks, and the man M!NT. Take a listen below and if you like what you hear go out and support the artist next Friday.
