The Lost Tape

Gritty, unpolished street rap that trades high-gloss production for a raw mixtape edge. Heavy on minor-key synths and 50's signature menacing delivery.

May 22, 2012 · ThisIs50.com

A dark, skeletal trap influence seeps into the production on this street-focused tape, trading the traditional boom-bap architecture for sparse, repetitive loops that leave vast open spaces for a relaxed yet dangerous vocal posture.
