I have been waiting for real, unique hip-hop like this to come out. I like diversity, creativity, and inconsistency. Mellowhype, part of the OFWGKTA collective from Los Angeles, CA, does just that on their second album, BLACKENEDWHITE MIXTAPE. Finally, a group that you can tell are real people just like us. The beats, made by Left Brain, consist of unexpected switch-ups, slow-downs and tone changes; fresh, on point and banging percussion, and all the appropriate backup sounds needed to make a great track whether it be chill or more hardcore "rap" like. On the mic is Hodgy Beats, a clever lyricist who talks about all the right things such as yayo, xanies, smoking on hay sacks, sitting on haystacks, stacking dollars to the ceiling, drinking, FUCK THE POLICE, swag, kush nuggets the size of tarantulas, bloody noses full of snot, hoes, precipitation, condensation, and other awesome things.
The album has a wide range different moods, perfect for you happy, depressed, angry, bipolar people, or more regular, open minded people. There are happy songs, dark/spooky songs, good to sit back on the couch and light a L to type songs, and other indescribable moods/sounds in this album. Intended Audience for this album: Hip-hop fans/artists, pot smokers & drug doers of all kinds, "appreciators" of real instruments and different musical influences, drummers, fans of underground music, people with a good humor, people that enjoy randomness, real niggaz.
Favorite songs off album: Gun Sounds (banging), Brain, Loaded (tight), Hell (great beat, great song), Loco (chill/dark), Strip Club, Fuck the Police, Circus (happy), Right here (chill/light a J), Based (banging).
