Snakes x Rich Royce - Wrong Feels Right

Snakes - Wrong Feels Right

Artist: Snakes

Producer: Rich Royce

Album: The Sleepover EP

Label: Sunny Day Entertainment

At first blush, the idea of two sketch comics doubling as a rap crew is a little unusual. On further consideration, though, the twin fields pursued by Billy and Adam of Snakes share a lot in common: both depend on snappy delivery, both reward skillful improvisation and both (despite the common association of rap with monster egos) require an ability to clown on yourself every now and again. EP standout Wrong Feels Right finds the Harvard Sailing Club members peddling a brand of lyricism that’s both funny ”ha-ha” and a little peculiar, lacing Oceanside beatsmith Rich Royce‘s exotically unhinged sample work with tales of antisocial behavior (drunk bicycling, mixing Sprite with ginger ale…) and free-associated self-deprecation (“We’re so-so, we’re average, we’re cabbage, we’re baggage, we’re extra, we’re unnecessary…”). Joking or no, Snakes’ manifest skills make them an act well worth taking seriously. Agree with my assessment? There’s plenty more dopeness (and hilarity) where this came from on Snakes’ Sleepover EP, released last week and available for download from the crew’s Bandcamp page.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I am not sure how funny I found this record to be, but the production is super catchy and I was definitely bobbing my head to the beat. If you take it for what its worth - and not try to compare what the guys are doing to actual emcee work from veterans - you might just enjoy it. Follow @DJBooth
