Ty Dolla $ign & Future - Darkside

Artists: Ty Dolla $ign & Future feat. Kiiara
Song: Darkside
Album: Bright: The Album
Genre: R&B
Language: Strong

One of the tracks on Bright's soundtrack that I also loved was Darkside.  While there was a cool Middle East style vibe to Crown, and a forlorn pain to World Gone Mad, Darkside brings it down with a heavy dose of loneliness.  Kiiara does a fantastic job at setting the mood right off the bat, then Ty comes in and keeps it rolling in a strong way with his verse.  I don't know what it is about the line "die for my respect" at 1:18, but it just resonates with me for whatever reason.

I saw a lot of comments talking about how they hate Ty and Future's verses for not rolling with the song, but I'd have to disagree heavily.  I get maybe people who aren't familiar with Future's style disliking his heavy use of autotune, but I think the harsh, heavily processed aspect of his voice really works well here.  And as I already said, Ty keeps the song rolling in a great way.

I honestly would be hard pressed to find a song on this album that I love more than this one I think, though Broken People is great for introducing me to Rag'n'Bone Man.

Ty Dolla $ign - Blasé

Artist:  Ty Dolla $ign feat. Future & Rae Sremmurd
Song:  Blasé
Album:  Free TC (2015)
Genre:  R&B, Hip Hop
Language:  Strong

A girl at school is on Tinder, and she connected with this dude named Blaze.  One of the other girls saw his name and dubbed him Blazé after this song.

That's about the only story I have to associate with the song honestly, but it's a really cool tune and worth listening to.

Fun fact about Ty Dolla $ign though.  Although most people consider him a rapper, he considers himself a singer.  I don't think he's resentful about it, but he does remind people from time to time.

Lil Wayne - Sucker for Pain

Band:  Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons, Logic, X Ambassadors, & Ty Dolla $ign
Genre:  Rap, Hip Hop
Language:  Strong

Ok, I think we can all agree that Suicide Squad was a little disappointing as a movie, but the music from it was pretty good, right?

I mean this song is straight up loaded with mountains of artists on it.  It would make more sense if this was an Imagine Dragons song featuring everybody else, but it's classified as Wayne's song everywhere I'm finding it so there's that.  The dude only has the one verse but for whatever reason they decided to credit him the song.

Heck, if memory serves this may have been one of his first releases since the whole Birdman fiasco.

It's a rather catchy tune though and is my attempt to manage to keep up with the times, ya know?
