Texts From Last Night
Last night was the first night of Rosh Hashana. I decided on Sunday that it would be a nice night to go visit my relatives in the suburbs of Chicago. It turned out to be a horrible decision.

10. Gucci Mane ft. Wiz Khalifa - 2 Timez
Drumma Boy doing seductive bedroom funk is pretty cool. Much cooler is Gucci’s Escher drawing of a verse, wherein he folds his rhyme scheme in on itself in a calm, yet dizzying fashion. Months in and I’m still rewinding back in a...
