Well you'll probably be addicted for a while. That's how it was for me and it's still in my top 5 for the year so far.

This (by far) is one of the better mixtapes (or whatever a free-download of close to 10 songs is now a days) I have listened to in a while. Definitely one of those albums you can put on and just let it play the whole way through and just vibe to it (preferrably with a cup of your favorite vice on the porch or balcony). I just happened to stumble on this after hearing "High For This" on the Entourage commerical last month and couldn't believe that no one (in my circle) had caught on to it yet. "The Morning" instantly caught my attention on a first listen and is still one of my favorite tracks. The slow build-up of the beat leading to an addictive/repetative chorus and some pretty dope verses work well. After a couple of listens (you know...when you listen to the album and actually listen to it) "Wicked Games" has also become one of my other favorites along with "High For This". The only track that I could do without would be Glass Table Girls. Also, even though I like the vocalist's style, I can't help but feel he didn't really "cut loose" like he is capable of. Seemed a couple of times he cut short on some high notes and based on the flow of the beats could have riffed for an extra effect. However, this is my personal opinon and some may argue that it's cleanier w/o all the extra sh*t...lol. Anyway, by no means do I mean to discredit that as a whole this mixtape is definitely worth a listen/download. I find myself (like many others) at times commenting on the "lack of good music" out there and it's refreshing to find gems like this that remind me that just b/c radio seems to be playing regurgitated garbage (for the most part) that doesn't mean good music is on it's way to extinction. It's just something you have to actually take time to look for now, and in some cases just get lucky and stumble across it. Either way, it's out there.

I know what you mean about that transition. It just doesn't quite sit as comfortably as it should, but like you said, all's forgiven because the song pretty much rules
