Blending hip-hop components of the past and present, “Malonetime” is a gripping single from Malone the Chemist. The Mississauga-based artist builds off a dreamy piano-based pulsation, swelling from minimalist charm to expansive atmosphere. The one-minute mark sees atmospheric brass and deeply-pitched vocals build climactically to a consuming hook with hypnotic appeal. The trippy repeating vocals, guitar twangs, and heavy psych bass converge with replay-inducing enjoyment. “Malonetime” is a great showing from Malone the Chemist.
