If you live in New York City, Theophilus London is one of those people you run into that remind why you moved here in the first place: he hustles, he stays out late, he’s talented and still on some level doesn’t seem to think any of it is that big of a deal. Maybe that’s where the humdrum bit comes from, who knows. The single, a re-recording of “Hum Drum” from London’s This Charming Mixtape, has a new verse and new instrumental courtesy of Mark Ronson and friends, so just pretend you’ve never heard it before because it still jams, and stay tuned for an accompanying FADER TV episode coming soon.
Maybe it’s just me, but it doesnt work?
London does it again… this kid is going to be it in 2010
TL needs to stop working with whoever is making these cheesy ass tracks and go back to what he had before.
This Charming Man EP is fire. Everything else i have heard after that is so contrived .
he certainly is humdrum…my god
Curious to see who London will work with on his album…. my bets are Atrak
Peter I was feeling a little homesick yesterday morning and listened to the cut. Completely made me remember what I am doing away from home and that I’m much better off now. Good call.
What the? has anyone not noticed that this is a futurecop song called nasa, he just rapping over???
Not everyone who lives in nyc “moved here” in the first place pete. Some people are actually native new yorkers and not transplants
