Ronin 888 – “Half Astronaut, Half Martian”
The mysterious Ronin 888 grabbed buffaBLOG’s attention this week with his appropriately spacey hip hop single, “Half Astronaut, Half Martian.” With the autotuned blasters turned all the way up, Ronin navigates through alien blips and space dust clouds, in a truly ethereal experience. He expertly finds space between the layers of airy soundscape and weighty percussion. Rolled up into one flight, we have a journey through the solar systems that I would recommend stargazing to. If you’re feeling Ronin 888, make sure you give him a listen on Spotify.
