Back when I caught up with Alexander for a First Look late last year, he told me that the next project of his would be a beat tape. Two months later he dropped MANSIONS. The project was a change of pace for the artist, where he was able to work creatively “without a rapper’s perspective.” The 28 tracks that emerged from digging in his catalog are varied and present a very different side of the Spit than you would know after hearing These Long Strange Nights. Click on to check out Spit building the instrumental “So Many Girls They Lapped Up” from the ground up as well as read Alexander’s complete perspective on the project and what he has in store next.
