Catching the F**k Up With ANTHM: “Life Imitates Art” & “Manhattan” (Listen & Download)

I hear "yo, you gotta hear this new dude, he can really rap!" approximately eleventy-billion times a day. Since nearly 100% of the time that turns out to not be true, I mostly ignore anyone being pushed on me like that (this is RefinedHype after all), and frankly I ignored ANTHM when he first started popping up.

But then I starting hearing "you gotta check this dude out" more and more, and then some people whose opinion I really trust started saying it, and fine, I'll listen to dude's new single "Manhattan". Hmmm..that shit's definitely original, and I gotta give it up for anyone rapping over the RJD2 "Mad Men" theme song. So I went back and listened to his last release, "Life Imitates Art", and that was pretty dope too. So I copped his "When We Were Kings" mixtape and, what do you know, it was some dopeness.

So where do I think ANTHM's career is headed? I have no idea, not everyone needs to be "the next [insert other rappers name here]". All I know if that I discovered some dope new music from an emcee today that I didn't know about yesterday. Maybe you'll do the same. Maybe not. Either way, at least press play. Trust me, this dude can really rap.
