"So on Friday, Gift of Gab joined the EP party ... quietly."


          

It's on Spotify, and it's dope. I love that dude. Within the first 10 seconds I was overcome with joy hearing him rhyme again. Also a great title. "Rejoice ! Rappers Are Rapping Again !"

I laughed.

crowdfunded project, apparently now trying to expand its reach.
Thanks for the reminder, though...I need to revisit that.

b/c it's great to have his level of talent touch such an important subject.
He's a fool for that chorus on "Gabman." That kind of thing is what I love this guy. He's a rappity rapping ass rapper, but he always finds fun and creative ways to mix it up. The first two tracks are also great examples of how he plays with the flow while still rhyming at top level.
It was also nice to hear him on the same track with his offspring of sorts, A-F-R-O.
This is what I've come to expect from him. Mixing up the flow and just doing things with words that other emcees just don't do.
He says the album is coming soon, so I look forward to it.

I agree with everything below. Gentrification song was great for the reason you said. And his ability to keep rappity ass rap interesting is so impressive. He makes me smile. Like I said, as soon as the first note hit in Bowling Pins I was like overcome with happiness. Gab just brings joy.
