West Coast producer Silky Johnson and Texas' Western Tink have done it again. They previously kept it " Very Rare " and now they're on their party-ready, '80s-leaning tip. "Ain't No Future" is a highly addictive joint that stems from Johnson's forthcoming Debauched Legend mixtape. If you're looking for an early morning boost, let this be it. AIN'T NO FUTURE IN YOUR BOPPIN'!
If you caught Danny Brown and the Bruiser Brigade's appearance on Pitchfork's Selector , then the beat on Silky Johnson 's latest single, "Cloud Vibes", should sound familiar. If not, well, change that immediately and then give this track a listen immediately afterwards. Spanish-speaking MC High Kiks is a choice vocal counterpart to Johnson's banging production, which deserves a lot more attention. Seriously, every rapper reading this needs to work with dude. He's just that good.
For me, Ludacris has been a guilty listening pleasure for years. Even when I genuinely liked his music, I still couldn't take dude seriously enough to considering him a favorite or anything like that. He's an entertainer—and a talented one at that—and can make sexual absurdity listenable. Like on 2004 single "Splash Waterfalls", which Los Angeles producer Silky Johnson has turned into a pseudo-noise banger. His vision is one of harsh sounds, partially chopped vocals, and altogether madness. Check it out below. It's off Silky's upcoming Debauched Legend mixtape.

Todavía no los conozco en persona y Burnie Baker, Fat Snapz Lalib, Buttonwill McKill, y Silky Johnson ya me caen excelente. Siempre es relajante saber de gente que no se preocupa de más y que vive en la playa y tiene una tabla y surfea en las tardes y tiene el pelo largo y sucio y no importa mucho. En general, la música que hace este tipo de personas tampoco lleva preocupaciones a la cabeza, y aún más interesante es descubrir las mescolanzas por las que pasan día con día para crear sus distintos sonidos. En esta ocasión, los [...]

![WESTERN TINK – “Very Rare” P. Silky Johnson [Potholes Premiere]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4423850_lg.jpg)
As Austin's own WESTERN TINK tells it, he's very rare. So rare, in fact, that he made a song about it with producer Silky Johnson , who you might remember for his killer Hater of the Year album. His killer backdrop is a choice canvas for TINK, a sharp MC with some quotable punch lines and innate swagger. Not swag, swagger . There's a difference, and it shows in his video for "Very Rare" that finds him hanging out in various locales. Watch the "Very Rare" video and download the track [...]

Look, we'll probably never post another damn thing about Bronx coke-rapper French Montana, but that doesn't mean I'm about to gloss over this ill remix Silky Johnson put together for "Shot Caller". I have to admit, the best thing about the original version of the track is Harry Fraud's brassy production. But still, Johnson has found another way to make Montana's rhymes palatable, which is no easy feat. Stream the track here and download it below.
