DMV Thread

[ATM]

Alright, I can't find the old DMV thread I made but there are some ridiculous releases coming out right now. For those who don't know, DMV is the term for the DC/ Maryland/ Virginia area.

The biggest name out of the DMV is Wale, who just dropped Attention Deficit:

Another heavy hitter right now is X.O., who you may know from Diamond District. Pick up Monumental:

Next, pick up the new album by Phil Ade:

I got links for all of these if you guys can't find them.

yeah new wale is good. will be aotw here shortly... going to review it at 3.5/5 i think.

[Tits McGee]

gotta check out Wale. sounds good

[kingsoby1]

it's really a pop/hip-hop hybrid. kinda in the vein of kanye, cudi, etc style, but without the singing. lots of cool fts.

[Kyle]

Oh, I've been ignoring this thread because I didn't know the term DMV. Digging the new Wale album, I still need to check out the others though.

I have the Diamond District album and something old from X.O, but I'll check out Monumental too.

[ATM]

Let me know if you guys need links.

[illmitch]

dont forget clipse!

[Kyle]

So disappointed by the new Clipse stuff I've heard, really hope the new album is not a complete let down.

[ATM]

Trust me I love Clipse, but they aren't really considered DMV because they aren't in the DC metro area.

[ATM]

Can't belive I forgot Nando

[kingsoby1]

don't really dig on oddisee at all. i think he's really overrated in the underground... very basic beats.

[ATM]

Yeah he's good but not one of my favorites. Have you heard Damu the Fudgemunk?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

i'll probably check out wale's album at some point

[Ando!]

is Wiz Khalifa DMV or would you say pittsburgh is more east coast

[ATM]

DMV is the DC Metro area.
