notes to all mixtape producers : you put an old school ghetto blaster on your cover and you’re going to get some love from me. simple as.
most artwork for mixtapes is cliche heavy and somewhat sad, but when i spotted the art for this new (and free) mixtape by up and coming man on the mike, wordsmith, that’s being spread around, i sucked up the zip file and found some quality hip hop on offer.
so, it’s only fair i pass on the love.
