Sidney’s Pick: The lo-fi nostalgia of 90sFlav

I don’t really know where 90sFlav is from or what their deal is, but I do know that they make some amazing lo-fi hip hop mixtapes that make me swoon.  As far as I know, they love ballet as much as they love music and photography — and they combine these things into their mixtapes and other videos. You can check out their stuff on YouTube here, though the videos generally consist of a stero playing their tapes. It might just be me but seeing the level needle move on the stereo is relaxing. It reminds me of lying in the living room and switching out tapes on my dad’s stereo. The nostalgia is nice, and the spacey music makes it even better, the lo-fi aesthetic charged with memories.

I’d recommend checking out their latest mixtape, Boom Bap x LofiBeats if you’re looking for the best way to keep your head clear. Seriously. There is nothing better then setting up in your space to work on something (art, essays, poetry, really anything at all) and putting on one of these mixtapes. Something about them is utterly enchanting and gives you the chillest vibes you can get.
As far as I can tell 90sFlav uses the same pseudonym for most sites and you can find them on Facebook, Instagram, soundcloud and YouTube delivering sick content. Go check em out, pick a mixtape and just enjoy the dreamy tunes to get you through the end of tail-end of the cold weather. You won’t regret it.
