Casual: The Return of the Backpack

Monica
The Return of the Backpack is as exciting as the return of the king of the elite rap lyricism. Casual and the Seattle-based, indie rap beat maker Jake One made thirteen tracks that make up, a smooth, solid album. “Backpack” represents rappers who do not appear charming to a big audience. Casual though, wears his backpack proudly because he is rhythmically convincing and his character reverberates on every track he makes.

Cory Gunz: Datz WTF I’m Talkin ‘Bout

Jack
‘Mixtapes’ are blessings for hip-hop fans, always. Son of rapper Peter Gunz, Cory Gunz is one hell of an act who should breaking into everyone’s urban playlists in a few years’ time. Bold prediction, yes, but amateur he is not. Datz WTF I’m Talkin Bout, his second mixtape, is full of straight-up, no-apology tunes that “keep things real” (in the truest sense of the genre) and might just be his potential ticket to the limelight.
