Zebra Katz - Ima Read
Zebra katz - Ima Read from Mad Decent on Vimeo.
Now this ain’t what I usually post on this blog, but this song, combined with this badass video has got me obsessed for the last few days, ever since I first saw it.
What the hell is this? Rap about school and reading? There’s a lot of bitch this bitch that involved, but still, it all takes place in a school and there’s talk of going to college and getting some knowledge? And it’s so barren. There’s just a beat and a bass. And mantra-like MCing by Zebra and his side kick nJena Redd Foxx.
And this video! What a perfect match for a tune like this. So minimal, so eerie yet sexy. I can’t stop watching this. Why can’t I stop watching this dammit?
This here is no mistake. It looks and sounds simple, but that just makes the genius behind shine the brighter. Every single little touch is well thought of, even the stuff that looks casual, or sounds a bit like a little glitch.
Mad Decent, chapeau!
This comes part of a whole EP including another track and four remixes. Oh, and it’s a free download. Maaaan.
