Lil Reese - I Don’t Like (Mixtape, 2012)

“Beef,” “Us” and “Haters” are already classics to me (“Haters” doesn’t make an appearance here, I’m guessing they’re saving that up for the album and, from what I understand, a Kells feature). Of the new stuff, “Traffic” stuck out to me the most; strong tape, better than SD’s although not quite at Durk’s level imo. Only ten tracks long, you should probably get it.

WE DON’T COUNT MONEY WE WEIGH IT.

More importantly, DJ Drama’s explanation of the “BandKamp” drop »>

There are features from Hell Rell and Freddie Gibbs and Johnny MayCash that are all good, too. More rappers should put out mixtapes that are only 36 minutes long.

Tomorrow’s cover.

Read the whole piece here. Yung Kyle Kramer doesn’t just cover Keef. He takes a look at the entire wave Chicago rap is riding right now through the eyes of cats like DGainz, SashaGoHard and others. 

Hope you dig it.

I wrote about (almost) everyone in Chicago rap (and talked to most of them here), and, beyond the fact that I want you to read what I wrote, I recommend checking this out simply because it’s a fascinating story and a really great scene coming out of here right now.
