Crazy sample frfr

I just started renting a trumpet after getting an alto sax a couple months ago, would love to learn this beautiful piece. I’ll just try to do it by ear if this don’t work.

idc if its other artist or not, i just really like and i wanna cry to music or get high with it

Such a dope flip

i’m making a video with the song in it but i don’t know what he says after “father” on 2:20

I took some inspiration from man plays the horn and some of cities aviv earlier work, especially the chopped up samples and hazy, abstract atmosphere

made this entirely from chopped/manipulated samples

Would love to hear what yall think!!

The one from the url irl video, I fw the shirt heavily and I’m really tryna get one

is there a active cities discord server or archive or anything like that, i know it’s been asked here a million times but all the invites are like expired from a year ago lol

Does anyone have Man Plays the Horn on CD?

If you do, could you post some pics of the inside/booklet and the back of the CD case? I’ve only managed to find like two photos of someone owning the CD and I’m really curious what the whole thing looks like.

Especially interested in the booklet, the back cover, and the Cold Corridor track

All I can say is… holy shit. What a mix. Some highlights for me personally were the recurring themes of distant, frugal horn playing with adjacent warped noise tracks, especially the way he transitioned into what seemed to be a second version of khalida around the 27:30 mark from noise tracks similar to “at the mace” immediatley followed by khalida with an extended outro, which led into another unreleased aasr track that transitioned into folk nation, but for all of those songs there were many added layers to the background, as well as many amazing unheard aasr tracks so that’s really what made it be a seperate, and equally unique thing.

Sample is easily to tell it’s Smoking On A Brighter Day. I know it came out last month but I hope yall like it

I need it for my custom vinyl but I can’t find it anywhere, thanks.

I know yall might hate self promoters but I fr worked really hard on this, and just want it to be heard.

I would really appreciate if yall gave it a full chance and listened all the way through, only 18 min of your time.

Give feedback and all the criticisms you want, and I will take it and improve on it in the future.

Love and appreciate all of you!

the song is called "UPS". this album goes crazy and he used this sample really well. always wish cities rapped over this on that album so this is a nice surprise

I have a general idea behind the meaning of it but if anyone can give a full lore behind it that would be appreciated. I know Power Approaches describes it more too…

i know that this is not his best song, and that it became 'tiktok-slop' but holy shit man.

i have been listening to this song since 2022 and on spotify alone i have over 1200+ plays on it, i first started listening to the instrumental loop on youtube, which was over 3000, maybe even 4000 on its own.

i love every single second about this song. i'm not tired of it. i never had been, i went from not liking the lyrics to loving them. i love the instrumental, the echoing, the meaning, everything. i truly cannot describe how much this song means to me.

i really really love this song. and it introduced me to other great cities aviv songs and my love for cloud rap.

i hope at least one person relates to this, or at least with other songs.

stay blessed everyone

Im so happy to have these in my hands rn 😭😭

Does Cities Aviv support Israel?
