If anything has changed, it seems to be the producer’s recognition of his own importance to the venture his beats in recent years have been bolder, with their own outsize personalities. Given the time that’s passed and in comparison to the Soundcloud offerings that have followed, the work on the new tape sounds more top-shelf, produced and engineered with a meticulousness that puts the new kids to shame. “Elastic Heart” is a remix of the Sia record of the same name “Stem/Long Stem” is a DJ Shadow remix. Three come from Staples’ Summertime ’06 and two others debuted as Ferg tracks. The 13 beats here-two of them original, the others culled from various projects-are, for the most part, in the mold that made Casino’s name with gaseous, disembodied vocal samples, deep pockets of negative space. To hear a full collection of his recent work, on Instrumental Mixtape 4, is to consider Clams Casino in a new light, as an architect contributing new designs in a city whose skyline he helped shape. He’s a veteran now, and instead of continuing to innovate, he’s chosen to step into the background and refine his sound, collaborating with favorites like Vince Staples and A$AP Ferg, contributing to a diverse array of pop albums, and furthering his own solo career with last year’s debut 32 Levels. But the intervening years have pushed the producer into a different lane.

Yep.Volpe’s contributions-his skittering layers of drums and bass thump, his oozing samples-have changed the genre for good. Why? Well, 'I'm The Devil' is his song ' I'm God', played backwards. I know maybe many of you end up here looking for the lyrics of the track, but actually. If that helps you out, here's some wiki.Ĭloud rap (also known as Trillwave) whose distinguishing features include ethereal, dreamlike beats (which often use wordless vocal samples, wherein singers harmonize or hold long notes, to produce a majestic effect) and abstracted, sometimes deliberately absurd, lyrics. I've seen the term before, but had never figured out what it means. So, Clams Casino or Michael Volpe is an American hip hop producer (he has worked with Lil B, Mac Miller and so on) has been doing something called cloud rap. The kind of thrill which always made me push this project further. As I said to the person responsible for this post, it's been a while since I felt so much peculiar joy of finding a new song. While this song has been released a while back, I've just discovered its pretty bizarre and really haunting effect on me.
