The winner of the our Songs of the Summer “Touch Grass” bracket was was “RAINBOW” by Polo Perks (lilpolotee), AyooLii (brudderman_official1), and FearDorian 🏆

hamiltonthemixtape explains why the slacker-rock jam should snatch the top spot on your playlist ↓

What’s more summery than turning Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s ukulele-backed rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” into a no-holds-barred Milwaukee banger?

In any lesser hands than FearDorian’s, “Rainbow” would have been instantly insufferable. Sampling something as played out as Braddah IZ’s Wizard of Oz cover is like working with fluoroantimonic acid in the lab — such a dangerous endeavor that even the fearless Dorian refused to do it at first. “It was one of those beats that gave him an aneurysm to make,” Polo said. “I had to be over his shoulder, like, ‘You’re not leaving the room.’”

Summer is the season of untethering yourself from your screens and your hangups, getting outside, and touching grass. Look skyward to Polo, Lii, and Dorian’s “Rainbow,” release your inhibitions, and feel the rain on your skin.
