We are diving deep on Hot Mic Radio’s Latte Lounge with DJ Nola. We’re exploring an eclectic mix of tracks that have stamped their mark on the Jazz, Neo-soul, and Lo-fi scenes. Whether you need to focus, chill, or just appreciate the culture, we’ve got you covered.

This Week’s Top Picks

Abstract Orchestra – “Fancy Clown” (Album: Madvillain, Vol. 1) We’re setting the tone right with this one. “Fancy Clown” wraps you up in those gritty beats and profound lyricism we love. It captures that sweet spot where contemporary hip-hop meets traditional jazz. Honestly? This track hits different on a late-night drive when you’re just cruising through the city with your thoughts.

Kiefer – “What a Day” (Album: Happysad) Let’s switch lanes for a second. Kiefer’s “What a Day” brings that light-hearted, sunny energy we all need sometimes. It’s the perfect backdrop for a laid-back afternoon or a picnic in the park. It’s a smooth blend of jazz and lo-fi that you just can’t help but nod your head to.

Madlib – “The Mystery (Dilla’s Still Here)” We have to pay homage to the legends. This track is a soulful, reflective nod to the late, great J Dilla. It evokes some serious nostalgia, making it the perfect track for a slow Sunday morning at the crib.
