#musicmonday (please RT) the mixtape

Check out this quick review of  my #musicmonday (please RT) the mixtape that I dropped a few weeks ago. This was just a  project that I put together real quick just to put something out there before a real, more official project comes out (which is coming very soon!), and I am very happy to be getting such a good response. Shouts to Mr. Valentine for this!

This is actually my first Articulate download. I got it directly from his website (which I’m gonna have to get at em about. I’m shopping for a layout somethin like that). The cover artwork is plain, but I think it was on purpose. The mixtape is a direct play off of the success of #musicmonday, and the swift exposure an artist can gain from it. After going through all of the tracks, I found out somethin I dig about Artic: He can spit. Lyricist are hard to come by, and they aren’t often entertaining. Most are dry and preachy. He proved how fun he is by rippin the “Make the trap say Aye” beat. His flow always flips during a span of less the 2 bars. He goes from slow to flip flow effortlessly, and shows his engineering skills by sampling Nas’s sleep is the cousin of death for a bar of his verse, and pitch shifted it perfectly like a DJ was in the studio. And Ricky Jacobs comes on the second verse closing the song properly. The mixtape is worth Re-Tweeting. Check out his website itsartic.com for more heat, and some cool content. Also check out that Dopeman track on there. Nice….

Much appreciated fam.
