Heems: 10 Songs I'm Listening To Right Now

Himanshu Suri is one of the most interesting people in hip-hop right now. Better known as Heems, the Queens native makes up one-third of the group formerly known as Das Racist. Apart from the whole rapper thing, he’s the founder of his own label, Greedhead Music, and sits on the board for SEVA NY. We caught up with him to see what he’s been listening to, and in typical Hima fashion, he shed light on some great music. Here are 10 songs in current rotation.

1.

2. French Montana - "I Ain't Worried Bout Nothing"

Heems says: "Hanhhhhhhh. I'm normally worried about so many different things. I'm normally worried about everything. When I hear this song I become slightly less worried."

3. The Dream ft. Fabolous - "Slow It Down"

Heems says: "This my favorite song on this album. Fab's verse isn't particularly amazing."

4. Danny Brown - "Dope Song"

Heems says: "This isn't out yet but it went hard live. Rustie is dope and Danny Brown is great."

5. Action Bronson - "Strictly 4 My Jeeps"

Heems says: "I do not have a jeep but I still play this while driving around and it's pretty cool."

6. J.Cole ft. Miguel - "Power Trip"

Heems says: "I sing along to this while driving. Miguel lifted part of this hook from cheap trick. On his first record he lifted part of No Doubt's 'Don't Speak.' Peace to my dude Tony Kanal from No Doubt."

7. Vampire Weekend - "Ya Hey"

Heems says: "I like when he sings: 'The motherland don't love you.'"

8. Le1f - "Spa Day"

Heems says: "Mazel Tov! #greedhead"

9. Lakutis - "2 Ill 4 The Law"

Heems says: "The Russian sensation returns with the first offering from his upcoming debut album Three Sea Shells. #greedhead"

10. Safe - "Normal Needs"

Heems says: "Strictly incense to this one, no candles. #greedhead"

11. Vedesh Sookoo, Rajneesh, Shyamoo, Munna - "Hunter"

Heems says: "It's summer time. That should serve as another excuse to play this soca jam in which one's penis is compared to a gun several times."
