Jamila Woods (Ft. Chance The Rapper) • "LSD"
What a time it is to be a music lover in Chicago. Releases everywhere, live performances abound, the sun doesn't set, and the heat keeps people moving. Jamila Woods has been a huge piece of this, with a concert last week celebrating the near - release of her Heavn project and an appearance yesterday at Chance's first Chicago performance of (parts of) Coloring Book.
Now we've got "LSD", a track on Jamila Wood's Heavn, and featuring a heater of a Chance verse. Of course, Chance receives plenty of attention nowadays so let's focus on Jamila, who's star couldn't be more deservedly rising. Her voice, her charisma, it's all top notch. But speaking as a writer, it's her truly gifted words that set her apart, telling a story in the most personal terms. Through the blessing of her wordplay, you'll come to understand a little more what it means to be a Chicagoan. The production comes from Odd Couple, giving a mellow backdrop for Jamila Woods to impart her wisdom. Take a trip down "LSD" immediately, and look forward to the rapidly approaching Heavn project.
