Today we're going to continue with one of our favorite rappers out there right now - George Watsky. In February 2012, the young rapper/poet released his 3rd mixtape, this time he has partnered with Kush Mody, with whom the 7- track bluegrass/folkrock/hiphop album was produced. The whole album sounds really fresh and cool - while being very different from Watsky's last mixtape, A New Kind of Sexy. The lyrics are easy-going, with lots of lines that make you smirk as soon as you hear them. Watsky brings his A-game, Mody gives the mixtape a cool sound and the featuring artists (Wax, Dylan Saunders, Danny McClain and Mieka Pauley) are awesome.What else can you want?

Song: Kick Monday (ft. Wax)

If I'm a bad influence
Then here's the great advice:
Kids! Don't be a dickweed!
Appreciate the shit out of the present moment
And be fucking nice!

And of course, it wouldn't be Watsky if he didn't make you think about stuff...

Song: Ghost Party (ft. Mieka Pauley)

God's a bully and he makes it rain dodgeballs
You can stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer
But you'll never win that way

We return with a new mixtape from one of my favorite underground artists - Rafael Casal. "Mean Ones" is the bay boy's 2012 mixtape. On his new release, Casal maintains a consistent high quality in his flow, beats, and most of all, wordplay. All of this was present on his last, 2010 "The Bay Boy Mixtape" with his fellow GetBacker Daveed Diggs and "Mean Ones" keeps the bar high. The quality of production has even improved, with content still top-of-the notch. Just read this:

Song: "Mean Ones"
They wonder why we some mean ones
just some misbehaving heathens
but men hunt each other where we from
thats why many young men carry guns
see growing up, it was law
to never show fright in front of company
and I was small
so I carried a pocket knife that read "fuck with me"

Know what I'm saying? The thing about Casal is that he is a poet. A poet with a sick flow, that is. And that, my friends, is what makes him so dope.
