The last time I was in Portland, I had nothing but Voodoo Donuts on my mind.
What a mistake.
My Rose City rendezvous should have included a session with Rare Treat, a trippy hip hop trio composed of Myke Bogan, The Last Artful, Dodgr and producer Neill Von Tally. Rare Treat's been making some serious noise since their self-titled EP dropped, and today they premiere some psychedelic, epilepsy-inducing visuals in the form of "Pop!"
Give yourself a much-needed midweek pick-me-up and peep out the colorful flick below. (You won't need 3D glasses for this one.)
The most hardcore pill I've popped is a Flintstone Vitamin, but I feel like Rare Treat's sound and visual aesthetic here encapsulate the feel of a late-night promethazine-fueled escapade. Tally's drowsy, bassy production is the perfect backdrop for Myke and Dodgr to bodybag the track; the latter's hook, especially, is an otherworldly kind of dope.
"Pop!" is off of the Rare Treat EP, which is available for purchase on iTunes and stream on Spotify. Be on the looky-look for more scintillating slaps from the Rare Treat gang in the coming months!
