HOP BOX – "Missed Calls"
It was a pleasant surprise this week when I came across HOP BOX during my digging, a Baton Rouge native pushing for a “Glamourwave,” which in my opinion refers to pretty colorful ideas regarding trap-driven beats. These “Missed Calls,” however, aren’t quite as trappy as the rest of his tunes, and is actually a pretty fresh approach to Caribbean rhythms and a hint of South African house. Worth mentioning the free download available right now. –Adrián Méndez
