PawPaw Rod is one of those musical phenomenons who appeared as if from nowhere and amassed hundreds of millions of streams since his 1st single back in 2020 - when we found him actually.
Of course, this is all thanks to his unique blend of hazy soul, subtle hip-hop, a little bit of funk and r&b, something you don't get to hear every day. Today, he shared his 3rd EP Doobie Mouth (An EP From PawPaw Rod) /yes, that's in the actual title/, out via GODMODE (the label behind Jpegmafia & Channel Tres).
The opening track "When I Get Home" is dripping with sweet nostalgia, appropriate for the title, with a hazy vocal delivery, influences from the '80s/Motown era, and a really interesting percussion groove you simply can't get enough of.
The whole 7-song is a beaut, so do yourself a favor and play it from start to end. You can also catch Rod across the US on the Doobie Mouth Tour and on his shows with Tyler, The Creator & Still Woozy/Gus Dapperton.
