Vela Seff (Ft. BigBodyFiji) • "Militia Muzik"
Sometimes you don't get your way, sometimes life comes at you fast, and chiefly, sometimes out-of-town hacks get the better of you. But with that in mind, Vela Seff and BigBodyFiji have a message for you, a simple one at that - "Everything's Decent". Suck it up and move on. Advice we can all, myself included, learn from, and in the form of a track that's fun as hell. That track is called "Militia Muzik, and it kicks ass, but if you've been following the DM movement you already knew this.
Vela Seff is one of many impressive artists performing out of the Decent Militia collective, a wave of musicians in the process of crashing down on Chicago's music landscape. "Militia Muzik", as you can always expect from Decent Militia, is a good time. We already know that BigBodyFiji is dope, but Vela Seff really steps out on his own here, giving a confident verse that's been stuck in my head for quite a bit. Throw in some fantastic production from Jett Dean and Hurtboi and you've got a hit. Stay decent, and don't sweat the small stuff.
