I haven't found a thread on this dude, so I'll start one now.

Anyhoo, I've been listening to his 'Mixtape About Nothing' lately, which is really, really good. Sorta like a Kanye West mixtape, with a Seinfeld theme, and a Go-go influence (he's from DC). But he's a really impressive rapper and almost all the tracks are winners.

I'm really looking forward to his upcoming full-length, which is supposed to come out in the summer some time. And David Sitek from TV on the Radio is even doing some production work. That should be interesting.

Mixtape About Nothing = Second Best Hip Hop release last year

Agreed. The Kramer is really compelling....And the opening sequence is damn funny...and the Manipulation. And Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Definitely. All great tracks. The track before "The Kramer" is great too. I forget what it's called...

anyhoo, I'd actually say this was the best hip-hop release of 2008. I'm assuming the #1 we're referring to is 'Tha Carter III'? Don't like it, but it's all good.

Until I heard this, my rap album of the year was 'The Renaissance.' Still pretty great album.

re: Attention Deficit

Really solid debut effort, I thought. I was kinda expecting more, but it's a solid debut. Something he can build on for album number two, hopefully.
