No Trivia Presents Soul Food & Sushi 2.0

DOWNLOAD: Mania Music Group – Soul Food & Sushi 2.0

So, last year, Joseph and I put together a mix of our favorite songs from Baltimore’s Mania Music Group. It got some downloads and I knew we’d done something right when Al Shipley listed it on his “In My Stereo” list. In preparation for Welcome to the Audience, Mania’s debut album, which comes out next Tuesday, Joseph and I did a new version, adding some of the group’s work since last year, and a few songs featuring the group’s newest member, Milly July.

What I like about Mania is that they don’t really make a lot of sense. All four rappers come from pretty different backgrounds and rap in different styles, and the production from Headphones and Bealack can shoot in any number of directions: futuristic post-Neptunes swag synth-rap, hard-as-fuck boom-bap, snarling guitars and a minimal drum weirdness, it’s all over the place, which is how it should be. That’s hip-hop to me. This messy mixing of everything. The goal of Soul Food & Sushi was to make sense out of a group that doesn’t make sense. Enjoy. And look out for Welcome to the Audience next week.

  2. Hi Sean, I thought I might end up using R eventually, but wanted to give the Python Toolkit a try first. And yes, figuring the distance between keywords is another potentially time-intensive part of the process, and probably requires some trial-and-error experimentation. I would also guess that Google showing similar results for two keywords is an indicator of shorter distance. Thanks for your comments!
