I always commend artists who are consistently are producing tracks, releasing their own remixes or collaborating with other artists and ultimately sharing new music. Sángo, a hip-hop and soul beatsmaster, is known for his Drake, Aaliyah, and Kaytranada remixes but has also collaborated with artists SPZRKT and WALDO and produced track for artists like Tinashe’s debut album. It goes without saying that Sángo never stops.  Sángo takes rap and fuses his mellow-funk style, creating beautifully intricate beats.
Sángo is just cooler than cool. He’s part of the AGO music collective and has friends like Kaytranada and the rest of Soulection (i.e. Ta-Ku, Mr. Carmack, Sam Gellaitry). He built an environment that’s so creative and innovative and chill that it’d instantly put you in a musically induced coma.
As part of Relentless Records’ release of Joey Bada$$’s single “Teach Me ft. Kiesza”, Sángo put his own twist on Joey’s lyrical and rhythmic genius, slowing down the track and it’s flawless.

And because one remix isn’t enough, Sángo also tweeted, yes TWEETED, out a link to dropbox with a free download of his “Company ft. Travi$ Scott” remix. With Drake’s latest mixtape just dropping, it’s no surprise Sángo wanted to give it his golden touch.

Hopefully all this new music is a sign of an upcoming, patiently waited for followup to his 2013 debut album North. He leaked back in September that his new album will be titled In The Comfort Of and I expect it will be as beautifully smooth and meticulously constructed as his recent remixes.
And who is the mysterious Amom Abdallah? The unknown producer magically dropped out of the sky last night and landed four brilliantly produced cleverly titled tracks on soundcloud. Amom Abdallah has no digital footprint, besides his soundcloud, which is incredible in itself.

Right now many speculate Amom is a Sángo alias (and by that I mean I’m crossing my fingers hoping it’s true!). It wouldn’t be hard to believe considering Sango was the first to endorse the newcomer’s music.  Like I said, fingers crossed.
