This dude's been bubbling on mixtape circuit for a year or so, people still claim his first one is better than the latest, but the production and basic song selection of the newest makes it sound more album, and less mixtape boasting exercise with the legendary DJ Green Lantern handling the business.....
definitely in the post-weezy school, but he does his own and does it well. if this fool gets some real beats behind him instead of recycle exercises he'll be fucking huge.
between the technically crafted, wittily gifted, and mostly non-cursing while being fun i'd be very surprised if this dude ain't the next big hype above lukewarm lupe and the like. just really fucking good, solid hip-hop that doesn't usually make the rounds. prone to some wannabe rockstar choruses here and there, but he'll figure it out.
latest can be downloaded here, with brooklyn girls being an obvious contender for a single had this been a real release, but one that's still a legit track among an entire albums worth of goodness.
the older one here, but honestly i don't even rock it after the new one came out.
as a warning, datpiff only let's you download 1 mixtape every 15 min unless you get a membership, so get the first first. also, explore. there's a lot of bullshit, but a million amazing tapes, often times with unreleased material that fills a whole albums worth that should have been released. and for those curious, but uninitiated, don't download anything that says "chopped and screwed". you won't be able to listen and enjoy regardless of what drink your sipping on.
