Groove to Rapper Loose Bills’ Latest Intoxicating Album “Supa Cold Daydreams” Offering Multiple Impressive Moments Throughout

This year appears to be reshaping the essence of mainstream hip hop, with artistry and lyrical objectives that inspire and engage. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Loose Bills’ album “Supa Cold Daydreams.”

Featuring a sultry voice timbre and melody-rap fusion, but also weaving in soulful soundscapes and superbly thoughtful, intriguing, and uplifting lyricism, the project demonstrates an artist who has a genuine connection to the music, the words he raps, and the stories he recounts. “Intro” is the opener and is everything of this and more; a lingering highlight from the release as he features his parents talking about his character and the person he truly is.

Following that, “Drop Top Babies” builds on the contagious energy of the opener, combining the traits mentioned above in an immensely catchy progression that begs you to listen more than once to take on every bar. Weave in a light and breezy background for another fresh twist of originality, and this one closes the deal for one of the year’s hip hop albums.

Every now and again, we come across a cooperative effort that is absolutely creative and cutting-edge. This is one of those rare occasions. “Different Cloth,” by Lefty Gunz and Loose Bills, is a notable collaboration that pushes the frontiers of innovation while still embracing those very important musical perspectives that have made Hip Hop the developing genre that it is today. It’s a track that dares to be unique but actually finds how to mix novelty and familiarity in a style that will effortlessly delight any Hip Hop fan and even attract some new fans who may (or may not) have indeed been accustomed to the genre’s diverse world.

Versatility is essential these days, but it must be combined with a strong sense of individuality, which Loose Bills possess. Consider “Ridah’s” reflective story-telling and depths, which are evocative and compelling in a subtle, genuinely human way, seeming like a mid-album giving of genuine connection; nothing showy or artificial, just the bars and the soft soul of the music. Beautifully made, this is a personal favorite because of its subtle weight and intriguing, real overtones.

“Mr. Taylor” is an obvious standout, smooth and humble in tone, classically appealing in its old school textures and innate nostalgia, as well as the lyrics’ honesty and optimism. An uplifting track, ambient and easy to get lost in contemplation and ambition when listening to.

Everything about this album has a poetic aura. The title, the album cover, the concept of “Supa Cold Daydreams,” it all resonates true. Loose Bills commits to the present moment, providing experiences, brilliant wordplay, intimacy from tracks like “Conversation,” ambiguity, and angst all at the same time. However, the closer you look, the deeper those layers appear to be. The closing tune, “Warning,” embodies this, nicely closes things up, and shows incredibly honest, personalized yet approachable in its telling of life events and all he had to go through to get to where he is.
