It is now the fourth week of winter break, and I have completely run out of things to do. BOOM I come across this video, and I remember Theophilus London, one of those artists who has been around the edges of my musical radar screen for a while. Finally motivated by "Humdrum Town," I gave This Charming Mixtape a listen.
London's varied musical interests are on full display as he puts his flexible flow over a wide array of beats. Most have a heavy electro sound, but songs like "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Crazy Cousins" show that London has been inspired by a truly diverse range of music. He's definitely an artist I'll be watching now.
