These long, cold Winter nights call for something akin to a musical fireplace, warming up the air with its crackles and bright aura. Come in Ishmael Raps, a New York emcee who’s newest track “Creole” is the remedy perfect for shaking off the frosty layer grappling hip-hop. Ishmael Raps has a super mellow delivery, but that doesn’t take away from his sharp skill whatsoever. The honey-thick horns drone on the beat and Ishmael Raps spits a straight verse for the entirety of the track (save the intro and outro skits). Keep an eye out for the rapper’s project due out this Spring, and stream “Creole” below in the meantime.
