10 Reasons Why Ezra Koenig Needs To Drop A Rap Album In 2015

On Dec. 20th, Red Bull 20 Before 15 unveiled four exclusive tracks by great artists to celebrate the end of the year and kickstart the new one. Of the four tracks was the brilliant remix of ILoveMakonnen's "Down 4 So Long" ft. Vampire Weekend frontman, Ezra Koenig and Despot. Koenig's verse has brought up one major question: "When's his new mixtape dropping?" You know how that saying goes... "Once you hear Ezra Koenig rap you can't go back."

If you haven't blessed your ears with the remix yet, hear you go:

There are many obvious reasons why Ezra needs to immediately start working on his new rap album:

Kye R. Lee/The Dallas Morning News

Here's a few of these reasons...

1. When he said what every New Yorker was thinking

NBC/The Office

"I'm leaving New York, I don't wanna pay the tax..."

2. Then summarized 2014 Vine culture in one sentence

"Summer twenty-fourteen, Shmoney dancing with some goth teens."

3. As well as everyone's feelings on the celebrity nudes scandal of 2014

"Motherfuckers leaking nudes, Why they got to be so rude?"

4. Or when he described everyone's worst nightmare

ABC/Full House

"Went to the Hamptons and I thought I was the man, 'til Mary-Kate said my Ray Bans were off-brand."

5. Let's not forget about his early rap project, L'Homme Run.

Aww, he was just a baby. Rapping straight outta the womb.

6. Pizza Party is the anthem of our generation

"It's not delivery, it's L'Homme Run, so don't touch my plate 'til I'm done."

7. Just like his tweets, his raps will have variety.

He can go from "Ya Hey" to "Bitches" real fast because he's that gifted of a lyricist.

8. Let's not forget the diversity in sounds with the help of potential collaborators

Chromeo? Major Lazer? SBTRKT? Drake? Kendrick Lamar? T-Swizzle? Steve Buscemi? The possibilities are endless!!

9. Plus with a new album comes a tour and that's always a great thing

(This could be us at the Ezzy concert)

10. Lastly, because just imagine how great that album cover would look

(AND THE TRACKLIST NAMES OMFG)

In conclusion, the world needs an Ezra Factory mix tape to drop in 2015

I'm counting on you fam.
