OK, take a deep breath. Please. Just…relax. I know. Soulja Boy? On Potholes? Yeah, this shit is happening. The homie Lushlife shot me over a remix to one of the most absurdly insipid tracks of the past year. And yes, I was skeptical at first considering the original track in question. I mean, “Pretty Boy Swag”? Why, Lushlife, why?! But it turns out this joint is pretty goddamn fresh … OK, maybe not fresh, but still listenable and enjoyable when given a proper beat and music to accompany Soulja Boy’s idiotic “rapping.” I kind of wish Lushlife had rapped on here, instead, but hey, I dig this either way. Rant over. I need my coffee.

Read this with a Jerry Seinfeld tone, please: What’s the deal with all these rappers tackling indie rock songs? After we showed you a glimpse of Intuition’s upcoming mixtape earlier this week, we now bring Lushlife’s take on Washed Out’s “Feel It All Around”. Like Intuition, Lushlife’s version retains all the elements of the original track. So, in a sense, it’s like a mash-up of Lush’s gruff new verses and Washed Out shimmery instrumental and hook. If you can’t tell from my write-up, I’m definitely feeling this and wish I could make it down to SXSW to see him perform. Ah well, at least I have this and his two albums to keep me company.
