They ain’t even Japanese, I just happen to be in ’em”
Remember that Seiji Oda breh from a couple of posts ago? His music has proper popped out with the Snagglepuss knock and made me drop my croissant, so I’ve made a playlist of his best songs. Sometimes he sounds like a Japanese Kap G who took it to the Bay; sometimes he sounds like a Slap-Tranquilo P-Lo; sometimes he sounds like Valee if his main artistic inspiration was Mac Dre’s Off The Rictor; and sometimes he sounds like an R&Based version of Japanese City-Pop. Somehow it all works and, more importantly, it all works together as this playlist proves. Shout out to the Cosmos, Seiji is beyond tho.

Surprised myself by how much I like his sangy Auto-Tune songs. The reason they work for me is that they’re very warm and fuzzy and are still distinctly Oakland. No Fillins, for instance, is dreamy R&B which interpolates Cupcake No Fillin by the Trunk Boiz. As I said in the previous post, Seiji has unexpected depth like a Japanese bathtub.
