Everyones going nutters over the Big K.R.I.T mixtape, reason being it's fucking outstanding. Old school in both it's obvious debt to pre-Stankonia Outkast and in it's grotesque 22-track length, it never the less manages to be consistently great. His productions probably a lot better than his rapping at the moment, but his productions super nice so it's no bad thing. I would've paid serious cash for a proper copy of this, but it's up for free so no excuses.
Also working out their inner Outkast are A.Dd+, who on 'When Pigs Fly' sporadically feel very special and the rest of the time fall short. The tracks where they work though are great (if a little TOO derivative of our ATLien friends), so hopefully they develop a bit of consistenty.
After two artists dropping throw-back southern futurism (how delightfully post-modern a concept..) we may as well stick in Action Bronson, who's doing all that New York ever does, Boom Bap and hard lyrics. Guy sounds near identical to Ghostface at times and this is no different to anything coming out of New York in the past 20 years, but if you like that you should like this. Easy.
