Stones Throw‘s latest addition, Chicago’s Julian Malone, continues to impress us with each track we hear off his hopefully soon-coming Diff.Rnt mixtape. This is especially true on a cut like “909”, which successfully re-purposes one of Clams Casino and A$AP Rocky‘s best collaborations, “Bass”. Rather than try to fit the track’s previous aesthetic, Malone makes the crunchy, booming instrumental his own. If you’re somehow sleepin’ on the kid, stop it. Immediately.
