I would like to see these artists get a lot more exposure.
TANTON QUARANTINO FULL
There are 13 full tracks on this release, and each one has it’s own distinct musical vibe and narrative theme. It has one of the best melodies on the album, and the performances are stellar. Other jams like Social Media Girl contain more straightforward singing (this somewhat humorous track is one of my personal favorites). On songs like Financially Stable the vocal delivery has a fluid, conversational feel. Snazzzy D and Quentin Quarantino prove themselves to be versatile and capable performers as well. The backing music in general on this album is rich with classic warmth and subtle tape hiss/noise. The bright and melodic Shark Tank sounds like something straight from the golden age of hip hop. Some tracks also have an old school analog, organic quality. While the songs mostly blend elements of soulful R&B and hip hop, there’s quite a lot of content here with plenty of variety in terms of samples and genre artifacts. This network is named after its creator, John Tanton, a retired Michigan ophthalmologist. In fact, “Quentin Quarantino” might be the best rapper alias to come out of 2020. The Tanton network is, as its name suggests, a criss-crossing mesh of politicians, lobbyists, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, pundits legitimized by op-eds in major newspapers, and billionaire money.

With names like those, you really can’t go wrong. When Worlds Collide is a new album from Sacramento-based artists, Quentin Quarantino and Snazzzy D.
