Bullion - Say Goodbye To What

If you’ve never heard of Bullion, allow me to recommend you start where the rest of us started: his homage to the late J Dilla in the form of a Beach Boys remix album/mixtape, Pet Sounds: Songs in the Key of Dee. It’s not as if you’d be missing anything contextually by listening to his later original tracks first, it’s just that “Pet Sounds” is fucking brilliant, and having read this far you’d be doing yourself a disservice to not give it a listen.
Next try the Young Heartache EP on for size; at this point it should start to become apparent that this kid — and he is a kid, babyfaced little British chap who looks nothing like the hip hop mastermind he’s becoming — has a level of control over his samples rivaled by few, and an ability to marry genres in a way that’s just dumbfounding.
And if you already knew all those things, here’s another song of his to obsess over.
