Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of Early on KEXP, is "Lighta (feat. Rae Khalil)" by CARRTOONS, from the 2022 album Homegrown on Wichita Recordings.
Producer/multi-instrumentalist CARRTOONS (real name: Ben Carr) teams up for a second time with Grammy Award-winning artist Rae Khalil, a track from his latest album, Homegrown. Carr provides a jazzy groove for Khalil to drop her breezy, speedy rhymes, playing on the song title as both a noun and a feeling: "I feel a lil lighta / where is my lighta."
