This beat is… almost pretty. Clearly a departure from the dusty minimalism that Marciano usually raps on, even accounting for some of the more expansive beats he’s gone over recently. It works well enough though, no complaints here aside from the short length of the feature.

Sulty instrumentals sourced entirely from 80s soul samples. As yacht rap as it gets. Would kill to hear a Curren$y & Fiend duet on any one of these.

Raise your hand if you’re generally pretty ok with how Curren$y’s career has progressed over the last few years, but still kinda wish he would drop another tape or two murdering a buttload of classic beats.

Rome Fortune’s deeply personal, at times almost uncomfortably honest concerns and sentiments unleashed in bursts of dense semi-abstract rap over waves of Childish Major’s hypnotic electrofunk. Some of the better different/kinda-experimental art-hop released in the last several months, well deserving of a space on the same shelf with Shabazz Palaces, Ethereal and Cities Aviv.

NJ raps from our inbox, don’t really know anything about it but it’s pretty dope.
Well executed and thoroughly modern socially conscious rap, mercifully devoid of the usual cliches associated with the words ‘conscious rap’. I may need to follow Knxwledge more closely, I liked the few of his productions I’ve heard so far.

Not crazy about tributes to clothing brands that aren’t Polo or Wu-Wear, but this is ok. Need to hear more from Goldie Glo.
