Winter is one step closer with our second (and final) single from Essentials Winter 2024. "Hope It's Not" by Norwegian producer J.Folk is a lush beat that properly blends hip-hop with electronic and laid-back vibes. Full of sampled vocal chops, this instrumental is short and sweet, complete with a message of reassurance and calm. "Hope it's not too bad." A light in a dark place. A beacon of hope as the months grow cold. Treat it like a mantra and spin this one back as soon as it's done. It's that good. Essentials Winter is available everywhere next week, on December 03.
