“Moonshine,” a track from Basi & Mikos Da Gawd‘s album SuperNova, is a vibey hip-hop track that recreates the laidback rush of late-night rendezvous in dimly lit nightspots. The lyrics, delivered in Basi‘s easygoing flow, paint a picture of a man navigating the ins and outs of low-pressure romance, finding a balance between personal desires and the expectations of the woman he’s with. This is an ode to the thrill of the chase, as Basi raps about enjoying the finer things with even finer women – but doing so at his own pace.
The refrain “Moonlight sunshine / Two times one time,” repeated throughout the song, speaks to how fun and fleeting these nocturnal encounters can be, but doesn’t come across as a negative. Instead, it’s a celebration of the freedom that comes with everyone being on the same page and just having a good time. The song’s laid-back and chill atmosphere is heightened by Mikos Da Gawd‘s jazzy and soulful live instrumentation, featuring smooth sax lines, slinky basslines, and plush chords. The sax in particular adds an irresistible charm to the mix and recalls some of the best moments of the past when hip-hop and jazz music combined to create something truly special.
For those with an affinity for hip-hop and jazz, don’t let this gem slip by; treat your ears to the irresistible charm of “Moonshine” and experience the magic that unfolds when these two genres unite in perfect harmony.
