Aidonia & Tarrus Riley, “Di Trees” MP3
- story Peter Macia
A few weeks ago in his Ghetto Palms column, Stats rattled off five different versions of the new Go-Go Club Riddim but left out this fiery duet from two of FADER’s current unheralded favorites. Aidonia, the JOP leader, is fresh off his ’90s rap/bmore/dancehall smashing Bolt Action mixtape and comes with about ten different styles on this one while Riley favors the rougher side of his lover/fighter split. We would not be opposed to these two joining up for more jams—two great emoters demanding they be allowed to grow tons of weed. Who do we have to email to make this happen? The pot farms and the duets.

Exclusive Freeload: Heavy Manners’ Can’t Frighten Mixtape featuring Demarco
- story THE FADER
We are stumped as to what we should be for Halloween. “Zombie Susan Sontag” is a perennial fave. Other options include a Be Kind Rewind Ghostbuster, Sylar from Heroes (monobrow, unlimited powers) or Beard Papa. We will probably just end up squirting fake blood all over our face and, when asked, cryptically call ourselves “The Aftermath.” So maybe we shouldn’t wait until the last minute every year? At least we will have a dope soundtrack for the party thanks to Heavy Manners, who spotted us this hot all-dancehall mixtape featuring Demarco, who we featured in FADER 53. For real though, the Heavy Manners folx (and mixer Dasheye of Tribe of Kings) couldn’t have done a better job; this tracklist reads like our musical dream date, from Mavado to Serani to Los Bros Marley, Busy Signal and even Jamaican quiet storm Tarrus Riley. So maybe we should dress up as this mixtape? Tracklist down under.

Freeload: Tarrus Riley f. Sizzla, “Who’s Gonna Save Us?”

Sizzla doesn’t sing in crazy falsetto on this track (crazy falsetto Sizzla is our favorite kinda Sizzla*), but Tarrus Riley does reinforce why he’s one of the most popular reggae dudes in the running: his voice so softly evocative, his yearning and pain audible.
