In an age dominated by consumerism and the relentless pursuit of material wealth, “Sweet Potatoes” by The Unusuals featuring Wordsworth serves as a poignant reminder to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Xperience, one of the artists behind this thought-provoking track, encapsulates its essence with the words, “A soulful yet grimy take on the ups and downs of life, and wanting to return to the simple things that are good for the soul, sweet potatoes.”
The song, set to be a preview of their upcoming full-length album slated for release in early 2024, speaks to the tumultuous times we live in. Born during the lockdown of spring 2020, The Unusuals offer a musical narrative of spiritual transformation in the face of adversity.
Xperience and Ninjaface, with their extensive careers in the Pacific Northwest underground scene, bring a wealth of experience to the table. Their collaboration history includes projects like Oldominion, Grayskul, Step Cousins, Th3rdz, and more. Their unique sound, a blend of soulful R&B hooks and cerebral wordplay, defies geographical boundaries and draws from the golden age of hip-hop.
“Sweet Potatoes” is an experience. Ninjaface’s mesmerizing storytelling and intricate cadences transport listeners into a realm of vivid imagination, while XP’s lyrical prowess and golden voice propel them through time and space.
The Unusuals, with their equal and opposite forces of talent, have created a track that challenges the status quo of contemporary rap. In a world obsessed with material gains, “Sweet Potatoes” invites us to pause and savor the simple joys that feed our souls. It’s a testament to the enduring power of authentic, meaningful music that resonates with the heart and mind alike.
