When I first listened to Masego and Medasin’s ‘Shut Up and Groove’ I was elated. The combination of commanding vocals, jazzy feels, future bass and trappy percussion blended for a sound that left a smile plastered on my face. The track, which happens to be the opener of their collaborative Pink Polo EP, sets the tone perfectly for the remainder of the project. Pink Polo is one of the most unique releases of the year. A perfect hybrid of jazz scats, scattered raps, sax riffs and forward thinking production. Each track packs a taste of something unique while remaining cohesive and fluent. It’s a breathe of fresh air that challenges the norms both lyrically (“I don’t want to hear no more Drake raps”) and musically. Music is meant to make you feel something and I guarantee this’ll make you feel good, real good. Stream below and cop the project on Bandcamp.
