Joey Bada$$ & The Pro ERA x PEEP: The aPROcalypse

About 4 to 6 days ago, up-and-coming, smooth flowing, 1990's type lyrical monster, Joey Bada$$ announced that he and his counterparts of The Progressive Era were working a new mixtape. With the whole "end of the world, mayan theory" floating around, they thought releasing the tape on the 21st would be just the publicity they needed. The tape dropped at around 6:15pm today and it sounds like a mix of "1999" and "Rejex", some of Joey's earlier pieces. It's safe to say that this tape is pure classic rap. All the members of the ERA go hard. Some of the 6th Men and Unsung heroes on here are definitely Capital Steez, Dessy Hinds, and Kirk Knight. This tape gives us a better chance to hear the whole collaborative and how much skills the team actually has. With a few dope samples such as Common's "The Corner" and another Fugees sample, the beats give a sort of "A Tribe Called Quest" feel to it. Overall, we give this tape a 8.3/10. Very well done.
