Red Bull is in the midst of their "20 Before 16" series – 20 days, 20 artists, 20 exclusive tracks to take you into 2016. The series most recent release is a collaboration between British rapper Little Simz and Toronto jazz trio/hip hop production outfit BadBadNotGood called "Our Conversations."
BadBadNotGood's next-level musical chops informed the diverse production on Soul Soul, their joint 2015 album with Ghostface Killah. Here, they paint a meditative soundscape comprised of whirling flutes, strings, sax and slick bass lines. As always, Simz shows a lyrical sensibility beyond her years.
After you're done with "Our Conversations," revisit two more excellent Red Bull-sponsored tunes -- G Herbo & Lil Bibby's "Get 2 Bussin" & "Lord Knows."
Quotable Lyrics
Conversations with Mother Earth,
Father he left with no warning I'm so disturbed
Shit that you're feeling me man I'm sure that I've stomached worse
Trying to open my eyes knowing my vision's blurred
