With Sam Lachow releasing the first official work of WL via a music video on his Youtube channel ShankboneLachow yesterday, I was able to take a step in uncovering the mystery of "Who is Wilson Luxurious and how did he get so awesome?". The song, "Holographic", is another entertaining look into the crazy and strange lives of Lachow's buddies. Like most Lachow productions, the track and video feels more like a party than a single song. The video features Wilson Luxurious, Sam Lachow, Sky "Blaow" Swenson dressed up in a gorilla suit, a guy dressed up as a rabbi, and a bunch of other odd characters smoking out of bongs, drinking whiskey out of wine glasses? putting blue face paint on and showing off Pokemon cards. Lachow and Luxurious go back and forth splitting verses, rapping about a bunch of random stuff. To list some their talking points...
they rapped about themselves: "I'm seasoned like a bag of wasabi chips-WL", "I'm chill as ever, real as ever-SL". They rap about each other: "I kinda like your rapping too-SL", "I didn't even want you on this track I wasn't tryna be rude"-WL". And their favorite things: "My favorite Pokemon is Machamp, my favorite donuts glazed, my favorite weed's blue dream, maybe silver haze"-SL, "My favorite liqours whiskey my favorite mixer is ginger, one of my favorite hobbies is never losing my temper"-WL.
The lyrics keep the listener intrigued and entertained while the varying styles of each rapper compliment each other perfectly.
With the rise of Seattle hip-hop, the culture of local songs and videos and has become more serious and professional. This is a good thing. However, it is refreshing to see a guy like Wilson Luxurious or Sam Lachow get together with a group of friends, goof around, do a bunch of stupid stuff, but still make an awesome video. The main feeling that is conveyed though this newest addition to the "Shankbonelachow" collection is that Lachow and company are thoroughly enjoying themselves.
It sounds like a new album is coming soon from Wilson Luxurious, so hopefully we can learn more about this guy and rock out to some new tunes from the Sam Lachow crew.
My favorite line from the song? Lachow listing off my three favorite childhood book series-"I'm a 90's baby, Randy Johnson and Dave Neihaus, Goosebumps, Captain Underpants and Magic Treehouse"
