The Full Stream of Statik Selektah’s “Extended Play” is Here, Your Move Kanye Posted by Lucas Garrison on 06/10/13 | Filed under Streams, Statik Selektah

With hip-hop's Christmas right around the corner - the 25th of December switching to the 18th of June - you will surely be overwhelmed at the amount of music being released on the sure to be historic day. While the big gifts are albums from Cole, Mac Miller, and Yeezy, lets not forget about a smaller, stocking stuffer, which might just end up giving the big guys a run for their money; Statik Selektah’s Extended Play. A la Cole, Statik has allowed us to preview the album a week early, except he wasn’t forced into it by a leak, he did it because he’s a boss; which is why, naturally, he gave the album to NPR to stream.

Extended Play might not have the attention that the major label-ers do, but here is no doubt Statik's album belongs in the conversation. This album is basically a who’s who of the hip-hop scene with features ranging from the likes of Talib Kweli, Action Bronson, Freddie Gibbs and Bun B to the Flatbush Zombies and Mike Posner. Even his competition, Mac Miller, makes an appearance.

Although the feature list is incredible, the beats are so strong, he couldn’t have gotten a bunch of no-names and the album would still be great. I don’t think Statik will outsell the big three, but when the dust settles, this album might be the one that stands out from Christmas in June. With all the hubbub sure to come, you would be remiss not to consider this a must-have next week.
