?eƒS?und - Dance.In.OUR.Minds.
Artist: ?eƒS?und
Producer: James Blake
Album: oooooooh!Thee.Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
With late September’s Child’s Play ?eƒS?und abandoned his previous features’ alt-R&B trimmings to put his eccentric rhyme style front-and-center. If you dug that freewheeling punchline-fest, well, it’s your lucky day—street album standout Dance.In.OUR.Minds. finds the L.A. representative once again on his instrumentally minimal, free-associative ish. An ambient, reverb-drenched percussion groove borrowed from James Blake sets the mood as ?eƒ invites us to “Say no to no” in deadpan verses. Lyrically, he mostly keeps it witty and pop referential (dig the Joey Lawrence name-drop), occasionally approaching the shaggy-dog wordplay of fellow rap eccentrics Das Racist: “The James Blake of mixtapes / Now I don’t know what that means / But n*gga I’m like nine things at nine times / but times that bout five times / round that up to 19 / loss of mind, don’t mind me / Nobody on my timeline can find me.” So, readers, is this joint “so mm-hm, [you] can’t say no”? More is on its way; watch for ?eƒS?und’s oooooooh!Thee.Mixtape. to arrive on the artist’s Bandcamp page tomorrow, October 13.

I think ?eƒS?und created the word alternative. Well, probably not, but he at least had to inspire the creation of the word's shortening, "alt."
"Dance In Our Minds" isn't for everyone. As a matter of fact, its probably for a very small number of listeners. If you like left field, minimalistic production and loopy rhymes (inspired slightly by Kanye and Ye's "N*ggas In Paris"), however, enjoy!

I don't exactly know why...but I like this a lil bit. The minimal beat is good and its different. I like DefSound's flow on here. This is very different indeed, but it still sounds good together. Rotation.

Sounds like a slightly improved version of 50 Cent's attempt at a new single. Pretty bad imo.
