Himanshu - Nehru Jackets
Nehru Jackets is the new mixtape from Himanshu Suri (formerly Heems, but now says that name is reserved only for people he went to school with). Das Racist cohort Kool A.D. released his Palm Wine Drinkard earlier this month, and now it’s Himanshu’s turn to release something maybe a little more cohesive. I have been looking forward to this tape for a whole. It features all the big names in the little hip hop world: Childish Gambino, Danny Brown, Despot, et al. It’s got a few songs we’ve heard before - “NYC Cops,” “Swate,” “Womyn” - but a bunch of new stuff.
Probably one of the more clever collections of 25 songs you’ll hear this month.
