The Theorist’s “Music of the Night” Mixtape is Worth a Listen (Listen & Download)

I'd say I hate to be the "I knew him before..." guy, but I don't. It just so happens that I've been a fan of The Theorist's "The Ascension" album, and so when I saw him start to get some attention for his dope piano covers of rap tracks I was glad to see him get some well deserved hype.

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/11/12 | Filed under Downloads, Mixtapes, Lecrae

The (hip-hop) lord works in mysterious ways. I first came across Lecrae in a Statik Selektah video. Inspired by the man's obvious rhymes skills I turned to ye olde Google and quickly learned two things: One, he's a Christian rapper and two, he makes some dope music. Christian or not, "Jesus Music" bangs. Listen and download...
