It’s fucking all 2008 again. It seems everything out now either is shit or the group was awesome in back in those loverly ‘pre-economic raping of America’s bank account’ days.
These guys seemed to be everywhere. Then nowhere. Now they’re back to everywhere and back with a sweet mixtape that just begs to be paid for. This tape will be one of the best and probably be up there as one of the best hip-hop records this year.
Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks have grown up right. They’ve graduated from bikes to cars like real full-blown hip-hop artists. But, instead of talking about how sweet their ride is they’re bitching about how a mechanic is trying fuck them over. And for the rest they still talk all about clothes, your girlfriend, and McDonald’s breakfast. All while becoming damn good storytellers in there own right, even if it’s just about grilling at the beach.
Chuck has become a fucking great producer by the way. While his beats are still minimal as fuck they’re starting to get chopped up loops, 80’s synths, and bass lines with more that 2 notes. It’s a damn pleasure listening to them and they flow seamlessly into one another making it that much more impressive.
This is just a goddamn great mixtape and the fact that it’s free makes it all the more worthwhile. Even though you have to put up with a few DJ breaks. It’s still one of the better hip hop tapes out there.
