My 1st impression of Dean Chatham is deep, original, creative, and off-kilter. More than anything else true hiphop is evident in each bar spit on his new project "Dean's List 2: The Aftermath". In the age of mumble rap and drill music, Dean's sound may not be everyones cup of tea, but for those who can listen.. you will fall right into this 9 track collection!

AUDIO DROP- Tori Bleu - No Deal

I normally stay away from mixtapes where artists rap over industry beats, usually because it lacks true originality and artists lyrics usually don't live up to those beats. Tori, on the other hand totally kills some of your favorite industry hits on her latest mixtape "No Deal". The difference here is she switches her style on each track, transforming songs and making them her own!  Download ASAP!!!
