Bay Area Rap Crew UglyFace Dares You Not To Sleep On Them With New Song ‘Pillow Talk’



Exclusive Premiere
March 31, 2022 10:00AM EDT



Rap collective UglyFace says their music is ‘ugly AF,’ their new jam ‘Pillow Talk’ brings the pretty vibes that’ll make your head bob along to the thumping beat.
“Can’t compete with the team / that’s UglyFace on the scene.” With that, the rap crew hailing from Tracy, California, delivers a mission statement with their song, “Pillow Talk,” and it can’t be ignored. For those who haven’t been clued in on what UglyFace has been doing, the crew — Aaron Temple, Andre Moseley, Aric Jones, and Kevin Fartella – provides a handy introduction with the track premiering here on HollywoodLife. A blend of modern production – dreamy, sparse instrumentals and a surging baseline – and hip-hop’s timeless attitude, “Pillow Talk” continues the case for the Bay Area being the new center of the rap world.
Actually, this song was built all over the United States. “I had a verse that I wrote to a beat about an afternoon out with my lady at Astoria Seafood in Queens,” Ugly Face’s Aaron Temple tells HollywoodLife. “Later that year, I came to California for a session with Kevin where we gave ourselves 15 minutes to make a song, we had the beat in about 10 minutes with no time to write, and I thought the verse would fit.”
Aaron explains that the final product wasn’t what the group initially had in mind. “We had originally chopped Coolio’s “Gangstas Paradise” over the drums you hear now,” he says, “but because of sample clearance, we ended up trying out five different samples, and I chose the one you hear on it.” Had things gone differently, “Pillow Talk” would be a completely different song than what you’re listening to right now. As for Aric Jones’s verse, Aaron said that his bandmate recorded it during their trip to Chicago. Chicago. Queens. The Bay Area. UglyFace is for the people all across the U.S.A.

“Pillow Talk” marks UglyFace’s third single of 2022 and continues the vibe established by “The Coast” and “Oxtails.” The band’s output this year seems perfect for driving around with no destination in mind or what you’d want to throw on for a low-key afternoon party with a handful of your closest friends.
Friendship is at the heart of the UglyFace origin story. The four members grew up in the same orbit of each other in Tracy, the Bay Area town nearly equilateral between Oakland and Sacramento. Fate brought the four of them together over a shared love of hip-hop, and those bonds remained strong with three of the four – Aaron, Andrew, and Aric – going out into the world, honing their crafts in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Kevin stayed home in Tracy, acting as the spiritual anchor that connected the crew. After years of trading beats, verses, and ideas, the four formed like Voltron in summer 2020, giving life to UglyFace.
Expect to have their debut EP (which collects “Pillow Talk” and the previously released tracks) on repeat when it drops later this year.

Dollar set for best week since November on US rates, economic outlook

By Rae Wee SINGAPORE () -The dollar was on track for its best weekly performance in over a month on Friday, underpinned by expectations of fewer Federal Reserve rate cuts this year and the view that the U.S. economy will continue to outperform the rest of its peers globally. The greenback began the new year on a strong note reaching a more than two-year high of 109.54 against a basket of currencies on Thursday as it extended a stellar rally from last year. Its charge higher has come on the back of a more hawkish Fed and a resilient U.S. economy. "Looks like dollar strength is here to stay for now in early 2025 given the U.S. exceptionalism story is here to stay, and it still comes with high U.S. yields," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. "Add to that the uncertainty from policies of the incoming (Donald) Trump administration, and you also get the safety aspect of the dollar looking attractive." Ahead of U.S. President-elect Trump'...

Stocks and dollar end 2024 steady, 2025 all about Trump

By Ankur Banerjee and Alun John SINGAPORE/LONDON () -World stocks held steady on Tuesday in cautious year-end trading that has seen investors bracing for the incoming Donald Trump administration by scaling back bets on deep U.S. interest rate cuts in 2025, helping the dollar stand tall against most other currencies. Volumes were light with a holiday for the New Year looming, with the Santa-rally largely failing to materialise as elevated Treasury yields weigh on high equity valuations and boost the greenback. MSCI's world share index was flat on the day, but set to wrap up 2025 with a 16% annual gain. This year's rally has been largely a U.S. phenomenon, with the having risen around 24% compared with an 8% gain for MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, and just 5% for Europe's . () But the mood latterly has been more cautious on the back of higher U.S. Treasury yields. The yield on the 10-year note reached 4.64% late last week, its highest...
