After lasts weeks showing of quality releases from artsits such as Suavehaus, Topaz Jones x $tan Ross, GLC, Moruf & Imam Omari and Creative Gold, (many hailing from the east coast) this week’s best projects featured a heavy dose of local emcees. We started out the week on Monday with Mikkey Halsted and his riveting Castro project, in which he stated, ”If I died tomorrow, I wanted to put together a work that could define me…” when he spoke with DJ RTC on Friday. Followed up by YP and No Doz, who is quickly gaining national attention after signing a major label deal early in 2012. Chicago legends Typical Cats came through with an album preview for their 3rd release, aptly titled 3. Aside from the onslaught of Chicago releases, Dice Raw and Slaughterhouse also made this weeks Top 5.
