Our friend Lushlife has reworked Washed Out’s track “Feel It All Around” and made it available for free download for your listening pleasure. We are very excited that he will be joining us for our Favorite Gentlemen/Ticket Alternative party in Austin next week. Take a minute to read up about him and download the track. I think you will enjoy it.

Philadelphia’s Lushlife has always thrived on pushing listeners’ buttons when it comes to their perceptions of what hip-hop can be. Whether it’s building a boom-bap rap track out of hyper chopped samples of lo-fi indie songwriter Ariel Pink, incorporating instruments like mandolin and live horns into his stage show, or soliciting remixes from psychedelic pop artists, it’s clear that Lushlife has an all-encompassing view of hip-hop that he wants to impress on the world. With his latest leak, the emcee/producer repurposes a track from Georgia glo-fi outfit Washed Out, transporting the track’s beach side vibe to the street corner, & improbably conjuring images of Nas rapping over the 80′s synth heavy “Wild Style” soundtrack.
Don’t miss Lushlife’s performance at this year’s SXSW, performing as a part of Favorite Gentlemen’s eclectic showcase. Details & RVSP info below. The Cassette City album and Leisure Class / Stick Up Kids remix project are out now on Rapster.
Download and more info after the jump.
