Simo Soo – Stoned In The Supermarket
After crafting one of the records of the damn year, the newly minted trio of Yon Yonson went and produced the beat for Simo Soo’s ‘Stoned In The Supermarket’ which features three separate MCs across it’s length, likely an attempt to maintain the every important producer / vocalist binary. Way to keep it future fellas. The beat is bouncier than a bag of popcorn incorrectly placed upsidedown in a microwave which also happens to be on the moon where there isn’t that much gravity. There are a few presumably lifted horn samples chopped into the chorus while sparkling synth sounds lift off a rolling bassline. The lyrical sections are seemingly nonsensical but only until you realise that the song is fundamentally based around the concept of – CORRECT – being Stoned In The Supermarket. Something about Taylor Henderson or Taylor Hanson and a Katy Perry necklace or something. The Marky Vaw verse is a little more abstract but by the time the Boobjob section comes back around we’re rolling into a stream of consciousness that makes about as much sense as it should considering the trajectory of the track. The song is lifted from Simo Soo’s fourth-ish EP Sootopia which is the most cohesive release I’ve heard from the the prolific son of a gun to date. There’s a couple of LP’s and remix records for you to get into too, for those that are really feeling this.

The album ‘art’ reminds me of Edgar Winter Group’s ‘They Only Come Out At Night’ album, though it’s decidedly less… artistically framed?
Good grief that is a perfect reference…
