     Heya gang! Remember that thing called fun? Trick question, it’s 2023, of course you don’t! Last time we collectively had fun the *UNSPECIFIED VIRUS FROM UNKNOWN ORIGINS* wasn’t sweeping the globe, the American dollar wasn’t on the verge of losing its world reserve status, and we weren’t approaching World War 3 at hypersonic speed! So, allow me to submit a tune to Tumblr that will allow you to experience fun once again in all its giddy glory! This would be the second week in a row that I’m posting hip hop from France, and anybody who’s been following me for more than two adjacent seconds knows that when I tell you to smash play on a tune its almost never anything mainstream. This is Playa Shit from the 2016 album Special Intervention, and these are beats brought to you by a deejay and producer by the moniker of Nxxxxxs. Now, I’d love to tell you something interesting about the artist featured this week. However, I spent two or three days trying to find ANY pertinent information on this guy, and all I found were pictures, his discography and a few tiny pieces that allude to his character and evolution as an artist here and there. But scant and short interviews are hardly going to be enough to let you know what this guy stands for, and he seems to prefer a low profile. So instead, I’d like to point out that it’s been years since I posted any vaporwave music to my page, and Nxxxxxs brilliantly executes vaportrap. For those of you who aren’t familiar with vaporwave as a genre, smash play. You hear that? It’s elevator music, folks. Elevator music with modern rap vocals pasted on with industrial strength glue. Look at the video’s thumbnail; it’s a reflection of Bart Simpson, representing old school and new school thoughts and aesthetic themes. These are the pillars of vaporwave. It’s a genre of music that almost makes fun of itself as it sounds commercial in style on the surface but is anything but commercial in substance underneath the surface. That about wraps it up for phonk entries from France, so enjoy. And join me next week because I’ve got a real, real dirty American banger queued up.

     Here's his Soundcloud, Twitter and Instagram handles. If you want any additional information on this fella, you’re going to have to extrapolate and gather it yourself as he seems to relish himself in anonymity. Image source: https://www.facebook.com/nfivexs/
