Language Artz - Raw Rap Shit: The Menu


This Los Angeles-based crew has released a mixtape that takes you back to the days of posse rap (as made famous (or perhaps infamous) by the Wu-Tang Clan). Each track features a different lineup of the members as they rap over 90s rap tracks that will sound familiar (Wu is even sampled a few times). The focus here is primarily on the lyrics and for the most part each member represents their crew well. At only eight tracks it isn't too much of a listen (length-wise) and a good one to put on to chillout with. Each track (or sushi menu item) fits perfectly with this posse-theme that Language Artz is trying to represent.
