If some of its most notable pioneers included Brotha Lynch Hung and Gravediggaz, it also encompasses seminal works from the Geto Boys, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and the near-entirety of classic Memphis cassette tape rap.

I’m calling it a mixtape. I have a habit through the years of making records that I just give to friends, or on tape to people on the street, or no one. Usually this material is made directly after the album I’ve just put out. Somewhat of an epilogue to the thing I’ve made before. This time…I decided to release it. I put as much work and care into it as I do with the albums I’ve released, but for some reason TRACKLISTING trained myself into not releasing things the rate at which I make them. I’m older now though, 1. I Wanna C U 2. Something To Do and life is unpredictable and terrifying… so here you go mates. 3. Dark & Handsome feat Toro y Moi 4. Benzo Hope you enjoy. Catch you soon. 5.
