Mikos Da Gawd has been bubbling on my SoundCloud for sometime. With the release of his collaborative EP with Tele Fresco he has fully captivated my attention. ‘Raviloi Waterslide’ is a clear standout. From the odd title, to the bent, almost unrecognizable R. Kelly vocal samples, to the hard hitting bass with snapping snares, this track is incredible. It’s refreshing that they give listeners a longer taste of ‘I’m A Flirt’ at the end to give insight into what they chopped and sampled. ‘Your Buttered Thighs’ takes a different direction opening with smooth soulful vocals that lead into a hazy vibe. As they drop in Cam’ron the melody and vibe change leading into a trapped out feel. ‘How to Survive’ is futuristic beating down the block anthem, complete with haunting vocals that are like a distant memory playing in your conscious. Closing things out is ‘The Wench’s Escapade’. It’s smooth, upbeat and triumphant. Stream below and cop the EP on BandCamp.
