[Mixtape] Charmingly Ghetto x ATG: "Of the Meaning of Progress"
I'm about to board a plane that's heading to Mexico, where I'll reunite for a week with friends and family that haven't seen me in a long time. The flight will last around four hours and I'll need something that will help me be at ease while also encourage me to meditate on the life-cycle I recently ended (High-School) and the one I'm about to begin (College at UIC). I believe Charmingly Ghetto's "Of the Meaning of Progress" is the perfect project to accomplish that. I actually had the chance to preview a rough draft Of the Meaning of Progress awhile ago, but the official release is out now and the timing couldn't be better.
Aided by producer ATG, the 'tape had been in the works for almost two years with the two artists involved learning from each other while crafting a very solid body of work summarize in 11 tracks that feature REKS, Omar Aura, Chaundon, Koncept, Katrina Renee and Murph Watkins for that Boston-Chicago connect that was long overdue.

Charmingly Ghetto: "Sleepy People" (prod. by ATG)
There hasn't been a single cut released this year by Charmingly Ghetto, which I haven't loved. I believe the Boston homie has truly found his sound and is carving his own lane with every song he puts out. Yesterday we got yet another strong leak from CG in "Sleepy People", which will call the upcoming Of the Meaning of Progress project home. Check out the dope animated lyric video below and download here.
