On Becoming King, everyone from Pusha T to Wiz Khalifa to Puff himself stopped by for guest spots.
With the Bad Boy breakup comes less connections which leads to less features. That being said, there are some slight problems if you're nitpicking. The slowed down sample deserves some head-bobbing with every listen and Kobe, Mark Battles and Shanica Knowles stop by for dynamite features.
"Hard Time" heavily samples Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" (which can also be heard in Kevin Cossom's "I Get Paper"). Plus, he proves to be a merciful king, ending the song by complimenting some of the best rappers out there.Īnd production, per usual, is on point for the most of ZG2. Changing tempos multiple times and constantly having bars as hot as "I write a verse in reverse that reverses the Earth's spin" make the listener forget this song ever belonged to another spitter. The Big Sean song turned Kendrick Lamar vehicle is the perfect beat for a lyricist like Los. The "Control Freestyle" track is the perfect example of this. Zero Gravity II is just about as good as his last.Īs always, King Los delivers on just about every verse. Luckily for the king, it has yet to affect him too much. But either way, this could mean dire news for Los. According to Los, this past deal ended because of problems with Interscope, not Bad Boy. King Los has been signed to Bad Boy twice, once under Bloc Incorporated and the second and latest deal with Interscope Records. This time around, it's his departure from Diddy's (or Puff Daddy's?) Bad Boy Records. And following typical Los fashion, the Baltimore rapper released yet another mixtape after big career news. Last year, Los evolved into King Los on one of the better mixtapes of 2013, Becoming King. Plus, it is the coolest mixtape cover ever.Ģ. Rare Chandeliers is the scariest form of perfection. I'm still embarrassed I didn't name this the best mixtape of Season One. So together, the duo is basically a horror movie with better music. And Alchemist makes some of the darkest, grimiest beats around. Action Bronson is one of the most terrifying rappers around, always striking fear into the listener. What's so amazing about this mixtape is how perfectly the pairing goes together. Alchemist has this way about him that allows him to make every artist sound good, but Bronson is a whole 'nother story. That's all you need to know in order to confirm this is a good mixtape. I'm really looking forward to his next project due out this year, especially since his last one turned out so good.įour words: Action Bronson and Alchemist. brought a classic Southern sound that could have easily been on a UGK album.
