Problem & Iamsu! – Million Dollar Afro: Mixtape Review courtesy of Skinny Friedman

CAP1 – T.R.U. 2 IT
Rap in 2013 is an old man’s game. Savvy vets like Bun B and Juicy J stayed relevant long enough to gain another generation of fans entirely. 2 Chainz paid decades of dues and slowly worked his way to the top. Killer Mike and Curren$y both built their own empires after a few years carrying weed for bigger names (and Mike recently teamed up with fellow old dude El-P). The idea of rapping at age 40 used to seem sad; now it’s totally feasible.
It’s been a long road for Cap1, albeit one with less high points along the way. I don’t know how old Cap is, but he’s been kicking around the industry for a minute, at least since the early 00’s. A Chicago native, he met 2 Chainz Read more…

A$AP Ferg recently announced his signing to RCA and now he tells XXL that he will be releasing his Trap Lord mixtape late February/early March.
My plan is to drop this Trap Lord mixtape, shake the world up a little bit, turn the world upside down. And just have fun. It’s about having fun. Y’all seen A$AP get the lawsuits and fight and all of this crazy stuff, now I want y’all to see the fun part. I’ve been in the passenger seat with Rocky driving for a while. Now it’s the part where they see what success brings you.
A Trap Lord is basically the struggle to do better. It’s almost like the theme of Always Strive And Prosper (A$AP). Trap don’t necessarily mean you selling drugs. You could be selling clothes, watches, fake watches, gold teeth, hats—anything. You just trapping. And you a Lord of it.
