Phil Ade Graduates to “The Letterman” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

The search for the DMV's next-to-blow continues, and while I won't guarantee he'll be rocking an MTV Awards stage a year from now like Wale, my money's on Phil Ade. The young wordsmith has some of the best punchlines in the game (as we saw on "Hollywood") and his storytelling skills aren't on point too (check out "My Story"). There's on disputing the man's got some serious mic skills, and those skills are on full display on his new mixalbum "The Letterman", the follow up to '09s "Starting on JV". (Get it?)

In addition to stellar work from Ade, the mixalbum includes guest appearances from Raekwon, Raheem Devaughn, Wale, Skillz and more, production from Juhad, AB Pro, Team Demo and more and yelling...I mean hosting...courtesy of Don Cannon ("cannon...cannon...cannon"). I highly recommend you download this know, or forever miss out on the chance to say, "I was listening to this dude from the beginning."
