Goon Music 2.0

French Montana

Gritty, sample-heavy street rap from the pre-fame mixtape era. A murky collection of soul loops and raw storytelling far removed from high-gloss pop anthems.

Find on Amazon

The sound of French Montana before the glitter, just raw soul samples and street grit.

A restless and murky exploration of street life that feels like a long, hazy night in the city.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic vocal loop on Playing in the Wind that feels like it's spinning in a dream.
The raw, unquantized drum break on Wave Gang that stretches for over six minutes of street storytelling.
The somber piano melody on Never Wanna Go Back that closes the project with genuine vulnerability.
