Spark Master Tape - Schikken (Featuring Flmmboiint Frdii)

If this is your first experience with Spark Master Tape, don’t worry - it’s mine too. I’ve been away from the electronic music game for a while (I associate it, especially the trap sub-genre, with many of the things I don’t do at the moment), and I’m real glad to have stumbled across something that brings my curiosity back. My first surprise was finding he does something almost unheard of in music: rapping over his own chopped and screwed, trap beats. Trap music loves hip-hop, often taking to the genre through samples, so it’s pretty lit to hear him bring some original raps to these amazing bass-filled beats. I hear “trap music” and immediately think party. But that’s not the case with SMT’s latest EP, The Lost Grapes, a dark, drugged out, slowed down creation tame enough to compliment the Shlomo in your playlists. As one of the funkier tracks on the tape, “Schikken” takes on a dancefloor beat and brings more fun to the table with more beat play than the remaining songs on that release. Flmmboiint Frdii initiates most of that funk feel with strong verses to compliment fire production by Paper Platoon. Forget figuring out what “schikken” means, and let this track take your eardrums on a ride.
