Dropxlife

Another day, another producer shroud in a veil of image conscious secrecy. This week's great "mysterious" hope is part of The Weeknd's XO crew - even producing some of the tracks on his last mixtape.Tesfaye's fellow Canadian - known only to us as Dropxlife - makes music that's hard to place a precise label on. It's somewhere between the drugged out instrumental hip-hop that Clams Casino is producing and the more R&B-centric sound The Weeknd himself is purveying, his Eastern sounds even leading to Pitchfork comparing him to Wu-Tang legend RZA.Either way, you ought go grab a copy of his Furthur mixtape as a matter of urgency and enjoy yourself these chilled - if slightly uneasy - sounds he's purveying.
