Tuesday turned out to be a long day of dope mixtapes, and closing out our March Mixtape Madness (as least for now) is Haitian-born, ATL-based rapper Jeff Chery and his new, long awaited mixtape/album/EP "Going Against the Grain". You know how some rappers just seem destined to make it big? That's Chery. The man's got an undeniable blend of raw talent and an ear for catchy commercial tracks, a combination that's on full display on "Going Against the Grain". Listen and download...
I'm not going to lie to you, I've had Jeff Cherry's new cut "Fearless" on repeat for about an hour now, mostly because that Jimmy Chiba beat is absolutely epic, just the definition of a banger. But I have to give it up to Cherry as well. Lesser rappers (cough, cough, Gucci Mane) would have ruined this beat with swag-talk, but Cherry spits a ducking and dodging flow that only amplifies the track's energy. Throw in a solid guest verse from Harlems Cash and a decent hook from Kalaj Dame and you've got my new favorite quasi-guilty pleasure track. Listen and download...
Each week we will send you a recap of our top stories, downloads, and videos.
