I've been following this cats career for a few years now and it looks like he's finally set to blow. I am truly amazed by the music on this mixtape (great rhythm and vocal arrangements, hot production, etc.). It's quite stellar. He also gets brownie points for naming Dilla, Tribe and Miles Davis as primary influences when he was on 106 & Park (sadly, you could hear a pin drop in that studio when he dropped those names). The music is a hybrid of pop, r&b, dance and God knows what else. I hope this mixtape does for him what Nostalgia, Ultra did for Frankie. Enjoy!

he had a few false starts as far back as 2006 so it's good that he finally took it in his own hands like his cousin Taryll

Dude's falestto on a few songs is a lot like his uncles.
I'm loving the production on this.

edit: that nigga mike coulda easily sang to love her...nice

I still havent forgiven him for going on George Lopez wearing Pancake Make Up 15 shades too light.


Not COOL bro.


Considering.....

Alotta these songs sound like they came straight off albums by them. Basically those songs with curse words.
Good music though, so I ain't trippin' on the similarities. I can already hear the criticisms though.
"I'll just listen to the old records if I wanna hear this style" like niggas always say.
I like Lenny Kravitz though. *shrugs*
Austin's songs are very well crafted and sonically realized. Good job.

stargazer is nice too. every song is nice, tho i'm not in a slow song mood right now, so the more uptempo joints are getting heavier play.
