"Tin Tin" - Curly Castro x Steel Tipped Dove

A superb slice of work from two hard-working innovators, Philly sage Curly Castro and NYC creator Steel Tipped Dove. "Tin Tin" is a dark nightmare ride, a conceptual banger, and a bracing antidote to whatever your day has inflicted upon you thus far. Loud is the ideal dosage.

"A Clean, Well​-​Lighted Place" - PremRock

This right here is certified goods. PremRock returns with a dang album of diverse & cohesive rappage. In particular, we would like to call your attention to "Criminal Childish," which features Philly phenom Curly Castro over a Blockhead jazzbanger. This is All Good Shit.

"Wrecking Crew Presents Wu-Tang Pulp"

Day Two is a pretty easy pick: this Wu-Tang tribute project is completely unhinged, meticulously accurate yet casually blasphemous. It winds up taking nearly every track over the event horizon, from cover songs into something more like an unauthorized sequel. It also bangs.



The writing stays fresh and you probably don't have to get the 10,000 in-joke that got origami folded into fabric here in order to enjoy the show. As headphone candy and slow ride soundtrack, this is one hell of a trip.

"They Call Me Castro" - Curly Castro

Dope to see a Real Yeti Rap favorite doing (really damn) good: Curly Castro got himself signed to Man Bites Dog records, one of the few remaining labels that actually means something. This is an opening salvo from his first project for them. It goes hawrd. Enjoy the show.
