The reverse delay on the keyboard loop on“$hooting The $hit” by Nomadic Odyssey gives a touch of the otherworldly to a song that bridges the gap between contemplating regular life and more cosmic concerns, normalizing mystical concepts by grounding them in everyday experiences. What makes it work well is the California accent of one of the rappers and the South UK accent of the other, especially when they come together in the last third of the song. Both rapping about similar concerns and interests with a striking unity of conceptualization and purpose. That is putting high concepts within reach of anyone willing to think and talk about universal connections and concepts without losing sight of your specific context and how there is no inherent barrier between either. The minimal drum pattern, percussive piano and sax sample lend a soulful backdrop to words that cover a lot of ground from the aforementioned big picture considerations and indulging in cannabis as part of that connection and shared experience of both vocalists.
