Flwrpt & The Casual / Relationship Raps

words by: Devin “PAN” Barrett of “The Casual”

Many a relationship has been lost to the temptations of summertime. With the coming of this season and its sun rays, clothing becomes optional, sexuality is in abundance, and extended daylight leads to balmy nightlife, often at the expense of a long-term love. On the flipside, summertime is also when love connections are made. Nothing says summer like a humid day, and locking eyes with your dewy skinned soulmate for the first time, even if it only lasts for a season…or a night.

With this theme in mind, and with summertime officially upon us, Flwrpt & The Casual presents…RELATIONSHIP RAPS. This mix is a collection of ’90s hip-hop tracks, some obscure some familiar, all dealing in some way with the relationships between women and men. With each song, we tried to capture a distinct ’90s sound and essence, that somehow never crossed into mainstream consciousness, but played a large role in crafting the energy of the era.

We hope you enjoy…and stay tuned for further collaborations from Flwrpt and The Casual…

This mix is a collaboration between me and a good friend of mine, Lemu. We both decided that it was time to work together on a mix of sounds, in celebration of the highly sought-after “Brooklyn” summer. For those that live in Brooklyn, one can understand the MAJOR effects of the change in scenery, the vibes, and in the “birds” lol. So much to be inspired by…but not to be mistaken, this mix is for EVERYBODY!

We hope that you’ll enjoy these blends of deep house and r&b/soul tracks. Peace…
