ProbCause feat. Lembo – Distractions [Audio]

“‘Distractions’! The title track from my new EP. This song came together after I met the homie Paul Provosty on tour a couple years ago. He started a group called Lembo with his homie Logan Sellers. They sent me this on a night I got yelled at by my girlfriend for always being distracted. I started thinking about how distracted I always am and how distracted everyone around me always is. If you’ve read this far your not very easily distracted. I released this song with no label support and no PR so if you have made it this far in the song description and like it I really hope you’ll share it with all your friends. I hope the cubs won last night – its 8-4 right now but by the time you read this it will be over. I love you. Thanks for rockin with me!” – ProbCause

ProbCause – I Feel U [Stream]

Announcing the August 4th release date for his “Drifters” EP, Chicago rapper ProbCause today shared the project’s first single, “I Feel U.” Debuted by Consequence of Sound, horns played by Will Miller scream atop glimmering keyboard taps, deep bass booms, and thumping percussion that lay the groundwork for the track that was co-produced by ProbCause and DRO. As for the rhymes, ProbCause is in his comfort zone with loose-lipped, carefree raps stating “if I concerned myself with all the nonsense and gossip I’d already be sleeping inside of a fuckin’ tomb” before making his way back into the song’s uncannily empathetic, boastfully dismissive chorus. “It’s about as Chi-Town as it comes, with every beat ringing like a testament to ProbCause and the scene’s history,” Consequence of Sound explained in their premiere post.
