Mixtape Review: The Greatest Show On Thirst – Cypher Clique

Cypher Clique The Greatest Show on Thirst

 

Delaware hip-hop group CYPHER CLIQUE dropped their mixtape, The Greatest Show on Thirst earlier this month.

The ingenious balance of a super smooth bass and that lick of sweet melody just cruises throughout the 17-track album. The trio said their latest mixtape is ‘suited to a summer playlist’ – I disagree. The project is also well suited for kicking back on those autumn and winter nights. To check out The Greatest Show on Thirst, head right here.

The #Mustlistens: Friends with Benefits, Good Money, Mastermind, Champagne Dreams.

Great cause. He’s a great teacher on music and life. Very wise and down to earth person.

NLM: What do y’all think about the rap game now?

2T: Its a lot of the same things being said. Nobody motivating the streets positively, everybody’s  in the club.Or talking bout girls, cars and selling dope.

NLM: So What message are you trying to bring to the rap game ?

2T: We just want to shed light on the struggle, poverty, black communities that need help, and changing the ghettos on some positive shit.

NLM: Who do you listen to?

2T: 2pac, UGK, Young jezzy, Game, SebaArmonEnt and MelekRa. Some R&B: Chris brown, August Alsina, Mary j Blige (local) ADL

NLM: Fame or Fortune?

2T: Fortune – no question!

NLM: Why fortune?

2T: Cause money is what we need to help start changing our lives and the millions we tend on helping in our community and worldwide.

Today’s song is the cover of DRAKE’s hit 0-100 delivered by KING BLITZ.
