Wasiu x Thomas White x WYLN – No Tellin’ (Remix) [Stream]
Producers Thomas White and WYLN flipped the River Tibet sample on Drake’s “No Tellin’,” plus a few lines here and there, and laced Montreal rapper Wasiu with a woozy new sound to spit a few verses on. “My signature sound I’d say is emotional aerial, with pitched vocals, piano and the likes,” White told Complex. He recorded some of his own vocals and added them to the background to make a more ethereal sound. “For WYLN; banging drums, sliding 808s and he added real percs he records himself.” The three artists linked up in the studio one night to collaborate on flipping the entire track—and Wasiu says after repeating the words “No Tellin” over and over again, he formed a triple entendre with it. “There’s no tellin’ as in no snitching, and if there is snitching then there’s no tellin’ what I’ma do,” he told Complex. “The other meaning to this no tellin’ is how I’m gonna flow on it. I switched my flow a few times, so there’s no tellin, it’s unexpected what my flow is on here. Just like the sample says, ‘had to switch the flow up for you niggas shit was getting too predictable.’”

“My homie Dear Lola (co-founder of RAW Records with @thomas-white) sampled Kanye West & Jay Z’s ‘Gotta Have It’ and I immediately felt like they gotta have my music. My music is that 80’s crack shit, that classic shit, ‘I Got It’. The song is about having the hottest shit that everybody wants, but because the demand is so high, so is the price. Sometimes, you give suppliers consignment, and they don’t bring your money back, which is when you have to go and handle them with extreme measures. The weather is getting hot, this is my summertime anthem… Back in the kitchen, lets get to cooking, and turn these customers to fiends. This is that crack music.” – Wasiu
Read moreWasiu – Picture Imperfect [Stream]
Playing around with the very common phrase “picture perfect” and the ancient concept of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover,” ‘Picture Imperfect’ is a song about masking hardships with superficial smiles. The two main characters in this song are forced to smile for the camera while baring the weights of being in an abusive relationship for one, and battling addiction for the second. I know several people who have been in very similar situations so I know the importance of addressing such issues. But it’s much more than those specific situations for me. The overall theme of masking your pain in order to preserve face really hits home. Growing up in a divorced home it seemed like the number 1 goal was to make sure that everyone on the outside thought that everything was great on the inside, even if it killed us.

24-year-old Montreal rapper Wasiu worked with Kaytranada on his first single, and for his second, the 24 year-old Montrealer teams up with another Soulection alumni, Da-P dabeatX. Many Dreams is a neck-snapping single built around Tupac’s posthumous Biggie collab, Runnin’ (Dying To Live). “We all have dreams and aspirations,” Wasiu explains. “Some of them are altruistic in nature and others selfish and materialistic. This record focuses on the latter. With the overall theme of the album being a relatively dark and heavy depiction of our society, I wanted to include some lighter and fun moments. That being said, this song is simply about the material dreams of a broke rapper aspiring for more.” Press play and enjoy Wasiu’s sweet dreams….

This song is about that girl who you save in your contacts as “DO NOT ANSWER.” You name her that because she’s detrimental to your life. She’s like a bad drug. She interferes with the other aspects of your life, and you become obsessive over her. You’re not even in a relationship with her, but whenever she hits you up, you fall for that lust again, and put everything else on hold. Sometimes good pussy is “bad-for-you” pussy.
