A little more quote-unquote serious than For My Foes, but further evidence nevertheless that creatively, Lito's one of the more imaginative characters operating in rap right now.
Not quite sure why he's dropping soap shorts in promotion of the mixtape before last.... can he drop Cold Turkey already? Is an actual album even worth hoping for?

Nowhere near as good as part2, but still decent...

This might hold you over.

El-P X Killer Mike: The Sequel - Run The Jewels. It's pretty good.
Also, noz tweeted a link to a No DJ version of the Migos album the other day, if anyone is interested.
I don't know anything about Ken Rebel - a bunch of beats on this mixtape are recycled (maybe this one?) - but I'm feeling it.

I'm not usually a fan of El-P's beats but this is an incredible album.. wow
It ain't for everybody, but it demands that you accept it on its own terms, and I'm all about that. I just wish more people were prepared to approach all styles of rap that way.
This whole 18+ songs on a single release is kinda brutal. Why folks can't split it up and do multiple releases in one day Gucci Mane-style or spread it out to keep your hype up...I don't know.
Anyway, this comes in at 21 tracks and the majority of them are solid.
I'm still not done with Attention, Tithes and Taxes! Starlito summer! (and Problem, too- that tape is quickly becoming a best of 2013 candidate)
About AT&T, I am feeling the Don Trip pair-up less and less. Don't feel like they really complement each other and next to Lito, Trip just sounds like he's an amateur whiner.

I'm going to interrupt the Lito love for a moment, and engage in some Euroman self-indulgence.
I don't recall whether or not this old-ass clip of Dizzee straight deading the Fireman beat circulated all that widely at the time, but it's one that I always go back to. Now I don't begrudge Diz his current success one bit, although I'll pass on the Tiesto/Robbie Williams collabos. I'm glad there are UK rappers out there that are getting paid, questionable artistic choices or not. But if he ever decided to do a straight up rap album, I'd be all over that shit like a rash.
Ab Soul is my favourite, too, but I like Schoolboy Q's two tapes better if that makes sense lol
Jay just can't seem to get a full good tape out, though I think he has it in him
Have you heard Gunplay's Cops & Robbers tape? It's nice.

This is so so. I expect better from Premo.

Yup.
In the Waka Flocka/Lex Luger family of riots.

Too much of El-P rhyming on this one.
it's on itunes today
I was just about to post a link to iTunes. Copped it from the German site last night.
First listen; it's really, really good, and the production is TIGHT.

ab is my favorite from black hippy, hands down. (none of them are bad, though)

him talking about his girl (RIP) is always compelling.
gunplay is crazy on this:

So what's his deal live? He tour above Mason Dixon? He talks a lot about performing....where?!
