Dali And Jay-Z
let your mind run as wild as a salvador dali painting with ana clara ribeiro
featuring artists like
The Carters, Toro y Moi, Gorillaz, Kendrick Lamar, Nori, Jurassic 5, Typical Cats, April + VISTA, BROCKHAMPTON
A soundtrack for an art gallery located in the ghetto streets.
Where graffiti and fine arts meet. After all, there should have never been a difference between them.
For jazz and hip hop lovers, free thinkers, dreamers, supporters of art in all its forms, for those who are open to see beauty and truth anywhere, without giving a fuck about the patterns of how art should look or sound like, we’ve got some fancy jams for you to chill and let your mind run as wild as a Salvador Dali painting.
If you’re that type that would buy both a Guernica replica for the walls of your house and a Biggie Smalls shirt for your wardrobe, this playlist is for you.
Minha Bossa É Treta – Yzalú
23 October 2018
When your whole existence is a fight for survival, it’s only natural that the fierceness shows even in the most delicate frames.
As a black woman, with physical disabilities, singer and songwriter Yzalú, from São Paulo, Brazil, surely has a lot of strength to add to her art,…
Third Eye – Big K.R.I.T
9 October 2018
Spirituality might be a very subjective thing; this song is a beautiful testimony of one’s experience with it through a romantic relationship…
Maybe One Day (feat. Black Spade) – Blu & Exile
29 August 2018
It’s so interesting getting to know the thoughts of the artists who “make it”. Some brag about it, some stress about it. As a listener, I feel like it’s all valid and I like to know and hear different point of views. Of course, when it is done along with great music, it’s way more fun; like in this track of Blu & Exile, “Maybe one day”…
Miragem (Sem razão) – Xênia França
22 August 2018
A lucid, confident woman with a powerful voice singing over soft jazzy instrumentals, about distinguishing blind infatuation from true, peaceful love… It can’t get any classier than this!!…
Reborn – Kids See Ghosts
14 August 2018
It’s funny that I have scheduled this song to be the track of this week; it is called “Reborn”, and “coincidentally” (I don’t believe in coincidences, hahahaha), we’ve just been through a solar eclipse (August 11th), and I also have a lot of personal & astrology stuff going on that means rebirth, new cycles etc etc etc…
Logos – King Krule
31 July 2018
I have no idea of how to describe the genre of this specific song neither the type of music King Krule makes; and apparently I’m not the only one. Seriously, I googled “King Krule genre” and I got: indie rock; jazz fusion; dark wave; punk jazz; post-punk; trip hop; and hip hop… That’s crazy and that’s awesome…
That’s What I am Talking About (feat. Rell) – Pete Rock
24 July 2018
It is possible that Music to Dali & Jay Z Lovers wouldn’t even exist without Pete Rock. He is one of the main guys who merged hip hop and jazz, so yeah, “that’s what I am talking about”.
Both solo or along with C L Smooth, Pete Rock is the mind, the voice & the beats behind dope tracks such as “They reminisce over you”, a must-listen for jazz rap fans and a true hip hop classic…
Julia – SZA
17 July 2018
This is easily one of the top songs I run to in order to escape the world and just close my eyes and breathe and let myself go with the flow. I still remember what I felt the first time I heard it.
LOVEHAPPY – The Carters
9 July 2018
There’s this slang/meme in Brazil in which we say: “Se juntos já causam, imagina juntos”, hahahahaha Brazilian humor is very particular, so it would be hard to translate; but let me try it: “if together they gather all the attention, just imagine how much attention they wouldn’t gather together”…
Hip 2 Da Game – Lord Finesse feat. Kid Capri
2 July 2018
Ahhh that delicious 90’s feeling! Listening to “Hip 2 da game” by Lord Finesse brings back such vibes.
The combination of R&B beats and jazzy horns is awesome already, and so chillin’, but don’t you think this track is all softness: Lord Finesse ain’t afraid to come as hard as possible with his lyrics, talking about his realness and how neither having fame or being broke would change who he is…
Roommates Only – Simon Dominic
27 June 2018
This is the type of track that I wish I could print or synthesize in an image and add it to a PowerPoint presentation about “Who said hip hop is just a bunch of mess and screams with no ability to be deep and elegant??”..
Wanderlust – Crush (크러쉬)
19 June 2018
One of the most interesting names in Korean R&B, Crush (in hangul: 크러쉬 )’s speciality is soft and groovy jams made even more irresistible by his silky voice. In “Wanderlust”, though, the vocals are minimalist and the real star of the song is the dreamy vibe of the instrumentals.
