Pitchfork | 6.1/10[1] |
Black Pleasure is the second mixtape by American hip hop musician Cities Aviv. It was released through streetwear company and record label Mishka NYC on November 13, 2012.[3][2]
Musical style and Production
Something something. "Heavily reverbed vocals, manic sample flippage, and in the red with scuzzy noise, Cities Aviv is out to please his interests first and foremost. Should they align with your own is merely luck of the draw."[4] This mixtape shows a major stylistic change for Cities Aviv. As written on Vice, "It's mostly self-produced, and it shows a different side of Aviv than he showcased on his Digital Lovvs tape that introduced him to many. Stream it below, and head on over to Mishka for the download."[5]
