SZA Offers An Irresistible Proposition On Towkio's 'Morning View'

Chicago rapper Towkio is singlehandedly attempting to redefine what it means to "drop" an album. Earlier this week, the Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa collaborator boarded a little craft attached to a helium balloon and very literally dropped his new album, WWW., from 100,000 above the earth. He recounted the complete stunt on his Instagram page, and it's absolutely wild.


Luckily for Towkio, the music is beneficial also — WWW. is a moody and atmospheric assortment of songs featuring some all-star appearances, most notably from SZA, who visitors on the subdued still-in-bed-because-it's-rainy-and-gray ode "Morning View."





Depending on where you are geographically, "Morning View" might sound brilliant for today, a day as soon as getting up and starting your day correctly sounds way far less desirable than not getting out of bed. Plus a large segment of that is because of SZA's magnetic vocals on the song's second half: "Play hooky from work, I'd rather lay on you / What do you mention she sings.


As a side note, it's a big day for nu-metal name association; "Morning View" is also the name of a chill 2001 Incubus album they recorded by the beach, and Post Malone's new single "Psycho" shares its name with a good 2001 System of a Down song they wrote about manic hedonism. Keep those accidental nu-metal references coming!
