Mixtape Review: The Southern Poetry – Patrick Ladon

The Southern Poet

Dallas-based spitter PATRICK LADON dropped his latest project, The Southern Poetry last month, reflecting on issues when growing up.

Starting off chocolate smooth, I must warn you, the lyrics of this 13 track production goes all hard (particularly with his experience on interracial dating) with progressively infectious groove to match.

If you haven’t heard of this upriser, it’s time you heard his story…hit that play button.

Must Listen: The OG Said, Interracial Dating, Money Speak, Drugs and Relationships, I Hated Myself.

Mixtape Review: The Karman Line – SHAY Khushrenada

The Karman Line

It took roughly five years for SHAY KHUSHRENADA to gather material for his debut mixtape, The Karman Line, released this month…and it definitely shows as you can hear and feel the sheer dedication in each offering.

The 11-track mixtape starts off with bang-up-to-date, head-rolling hip-hop with slight hints of grime and trap music which slowly matures (like a fine wine) with clever cuts of old school/R&B beats, where the Londoner vibrantly spits over kick back arrangements – even though he describes the pitfalls of chasing a music career.

This mixtape is a keeper, check it out now!

Must listens: Bronze Helm, The Emergence, Cry, Candles, End to End

Mixtape Review: Rawest – Fly Von

Fly Von Rawest mixtape

From the moment he leaked tracks, Tell Me Wassup and She Hates Love, FLY VON was itching to unleash his second full-length mixtape, Rawest.

As you probably guessed, it’s now ready for your inspection! The mixtape begins with an explosion of ridiculously crazy (and short-lived) guitar riffs which detours down the route of downtempo hip-hop and, at times, slightly blurs into the realms of alternative R&B…a combination that is his RAWEST material to date. Check it out here.

Must Listens: Ambition, Not So Bad, Dreams 4 Two, Deal With, Tell Me Wassup, King of Raw, What They Really Want

Mixtape Review: ThatYoung – Young Timo

ThatYoung Mixtape

For the last week or so, I seen this new emcee YOUNG TIMO tearing up the internet with his debut offering ThatYoung mixtape, so I thought I give him a trial.

…And boy am I glad I did. Featuring 17 tracks, the BrightLife Media recruit adds extra spice to classics from Pharrell Williams, Beenie Man and even The Chordettes who had a hit with Mr. Sandman back in the 1950s…and EVERY single track is topped off by this upcomer’s lazing-in-the-summer flow.

Since its release last month, ThatYoung mixtape has generated close to 2,000 steams. Wanna hear what all the hype’s about? Well check it out right here. (Highly recommended)

#The MustListens: (it was hard to choose a favorite, but here goes) Anytime, Frontin’, Beenie Man, Smile Soul Mate, Ass Unfinished
