Y//2//K

If you're looking for some good slow Sunday tracks to not get out of bed to, Y//2//K has got you more than covered. (I'm pretty sure it's just one guy, but I can't find one definitive bio.) Of course, Band Of Horses' "The Funeral" is slow enough by itself, but imagine it even slower... and sadder... Y//2//K nailed it, especially with all the added hip hop trills in there.

Even though I personally prefer red, this version of white wine isn't too shabby. Check it out:

Y//2//K - White Wine ft. Mark Johns



This might be my favorite... I love reflecting on Waka Flocka's super deep and meaningful lyrics, and this slowed down version is really perfect for that. In all seriousness, like who comes up with this? Yes, but no, but yes...

Y//2//K - there are things you can't forget



**Bonus: yeah, he did a remix of that Sophia Grace song, and I will admit to liking it.

I Don't Fuck With Classics (Big Sean x The Knocks)

The Hood Internet: I love you, please never stop making the best, simplest, smoothest mashups in the game. This mix is perfectly counterbalanced between Big Sean's aggressive "lil stupid ass bitch" calling and the classic groove of The Knocks. This seamless combination puts me at ease quite nicely.

Bloom (Lane 8 Remix)

I'm loving this simultaneously upbeat yet perfectly ambient remix of one of my favorite Odesza tracks by Lane 8. You can't help but let it put you in a better mood. Such a good combination.

No Type (Rae Sremmurd Cover)

I have always been one for ASTR's ethereal sound, but their latest cover of "No Type" just goes above and beyond. There's honestly nothing like slowed-down hip hop, in my opinion. Check it out to see how you like it!
