Is there a better way to close out the day than with a new
Statik Selektah mixtape? Will I ever stop writing rhetorical questions? No and no. If you're listening to "The DeAndre Way" right now, just go ahead and skip to another post. But if you're down with some gritty, true rap hip-hop, allow me to recommend "Concepts: Selektions".
What's the concept? (Pause to let you groan at the bad pun.) Inspired by classic '9-s mixtapes from the likes of Tony Touch, Frank the Butcher selected some of Statik's classic beats, then recruited new emcees to put in work over them. The final line-up includes the likes of Freeway, COnsequence, Black Milk, Curtains, Termanology, Chace Infinite and more. Enjoy.
