Um... nah man. About the only radio stuff I like these days is A$AP Mob affiliated, Kendrick Lamar, and Pusha T. And I don't even know if those tracks get played on the radio.

Word? I should check this out. I heard the track he did with Audible Doctor for the Mello Music Group compilation goes, but I should download the new mixtape.

I downloaded both of these, but I haven't listened to either yet. Given that I think we're in latter day "NY Street Rap" renaissance, it wouldn't surprise me if I liked both, even if I wouldn't check for an "official" album by either.

BTW, you should download the Troy Ave. "New York City" mixtape. I'd bet it's right up your alley.

Don't front, you just want to get a chance to dance like one of the Scott brothers in his next video.

LOL @ "ratchet hi hats." I'm going to steal that.

Okay, so I've seen the video and the facebook post. But what exactly is the dude's deal? Where did he come from?
