"Uptown XO "The Color Grey" (stream)"

I hope the Melo Music Group affiliation gets him some more attention. Dude is very talented at making neo-boom bap but never sounding derivative.

It's politically-minded rapping with boom bapish production from a dude in a group with Oddisee. Of course, it's getting ignored on The Lesson.

Maybe it helps that the beats aren't changing style constantly but XO comes off as a lot more focused on this one than past stuff ive heard from him. i was expecting good things when i heard occupy dc but this took me by suprise. looking forward to the album. diamond district and mmg are killing it right now
