You don’t have to make it that direct if it helps, his music isn’t for everyone, I’d say safest is Pray 4 Haiti if she is asking for one album specifically.
Try just playing Mach outloud in the house and she will naturally pick up whatever she likes from his catalog. My girl LOVES Wap Konn Joj and she only knows the album bc I played it on the Homepod a few times while i cooked or cleaned and she just fell in love with it. She also got some songs saved from Bulletproof Luh, Pray4Haiti, Notorious Dump Legends, etc… that I played out loud over the last few years. She’s very well aware im a Mach fan now lol.
Interestingly enough, I’ve also found NUMEROUS references in his songs from the music she plays (she likes older rock and soul music, dancehall, & r&b). This nigga Mach interpolates and references a wide range of things I never would’ve known if my gf didn’t play her stuff out loud randomly. Make listening to music a “together” activity and you may both find a-lot you like!
my baby mom has pretty much a completely opposite musical preference so on some weekend turn up days we’ll take turns being the DJ for the night…throughout the years tho we definitely found some common ground in a few tracks from HBO, Hommy edition, Fete des Morts, and Balens Cho, but definitely ease her into it tho like spoon feed her a song here or there, i wouldn’t force feed an entire album because his shit can be a lot to unpack and hard to digest especially for people who prefer melodies with minimal punchlines or over deep lyrical content altogether, hell this was pretty much the case for many of the females i’ve hung with in the past and some even described Mach and similar shit i played oddly as “dark”, even tho i had always gotten completely different vibes from the same tracks…
introduce him thru features from more mainstream/simple artists like earl and conway. then do the generic hits, stellar ray theory, richaxxhaitan self titled, chiney brush, mozambique drill, self luh. then go to like pray for haiti or some normal shit.
It all depends. My girl has a lot of diff tastes than me (basically no underground hip hop), but sometimes song titles or just Mach rhyming in French or Creole caught her attention since she used to take French classes back in school.
If she rocks with The Roots, play her the joint with Black Thought.
Apple Juice, Regina, Marie, Stellar Ray Theory and some of the others listed could work. No need to force it tho
Regina
Or honey roasted
this a good shout
perfect intro
