Future Street/Drug Sounds was one of the best hip hop albums last year. They called it a mixtape but it was basically an album. Unfortunately, you cant download it anymore, so if you want it, holla at me =]
Dude's pretty dope. I think Altamont(skateboarding brand)are using his shirts. I assume that much because thats how I saw these vids. Check his site: Eriberto Oriol
Initially, this was the song that got me really listening to him. For awhile after listening to it, I kind of got disappointed at the caliber of the beat(produced by Mos Def). It's fine, but from a producer's stand point, if i had that sample I would have.....yeah, but the song is still chill. =]
*I actually sampled the beginning of this song and made something decent out of it, but you'll probably never hear it....maybe =]
I was not feeling this dude at first. Mainly because he rapped with Lil Wayne and Terry Kennedy so I didn't take him seriously. Then I saw him aligning himself with Jay Electronica, Mos Def, and Dame Dash, and then I actually took a listen. I wouldn't say he's the best rapper but he's decent and his music does the job for sure.
