Edi Like Guilty Pleasures? Check out Watsky's new mixtape "A New Kind Of Sexy"

2012 Watsky mixtape: Watsky & Mody - Watsky & Mody (2012)

When last week we introduced you to Rafael Casal, a poet and a rapper who has performed on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, then this week we will continue in the same zone and introduce you to George Watsky, another Def Poetry poet. Unlike Casal, who has been unable to "blow up," Watsky recently managed to go viral with his video "Pale kid raps fast" (over 4.5 million views in 10 days). Thanks to this his other music has been getting more and more attention as well, which is nice to see. His 2009 album titled "Watsky" has been getting more and more attention, as well as the mixtape we're going to talk about here: "Guilty Pleasures."

Guilty Pleasures is basically a mixtape which features all songs from "Watsky" (the album), mashed up with different kinds of beats starting from Ke$ha's "Tic Toc" and Miley Cyrus' "Party In The USA" to M.O.P.'s "Ante Up," Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" and everything in between. The mixtape is quality in it's best meaning: Watsky's wacky, funny, but also on-point and meaningful rap has been fitted perfectly on seemingly irrelevant beats. And it sounds good. From a teenager's sexual problems in "The Waking Hour" (featuring Mariami) on an Akon beat to a battle of the races on "Color Lines" (featuring Catch Wreck) on a Miley Cyrus beat: it all sounds like the song was written to that particular beat and the message doesn't fade away.

So my conclusion? Get the mixtape, it's well worth it. I mean, it's free. :) And if you do like what's on the mixtape, then buy the album. Simple as that.
