It appears that my travels over the holidays have left me with a lot of catching up to do, so here goes nothin...
No particular order here:
The Good
(1) Big K.R.I.T. - Rich Dad Poor Dad
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I will rep Krizzle to the end. To be honest, it's stuff like this that make me. The video is cool, the song is cooler, and the southern flow with the personal Krizzle flow just bring it all together for me. If you don't like his style, don't be mad at me for sharing, but this is just awesome to me. Enjoy!
This is so much better from Weezy on this track. 2 Chainz is often times better sticking to hooks (even though I am a closet Tity Boi fan), but I'm not feeling him on this. Watch out for I Am Not A Human Being II being dropped later this year. Enjoy!
(3) Trinidad James - All Gold Everything (Feat. T.I., Young Jeezy, & 2 Chainz) [Remix]
Other than this being an edited version, this is dope. Big fan here, most because they didn't use any of the original verses haha. You gotta pay your dues to the southern bosses, especially if you are coming up in ATL. TJ definitely found that out on this one. Once I find the dirty version, this will be on my workout playlist. Enjoy!

(4) Frank Ocean - Wiseman
Sorry in advance if you are not a Frank fan, but I'm partial and I can't help it. Love his voice and his style. Enjoy!
(5) J. Cole - 2012
Reppin my home state of North Carolina, Cole made this track back in 2008, but released it right before the world was supposed to end...#awkward. Real talk, though, I do like this track. Enjoy!
(6) 50 Cent - Major Distribution (Feat. Snoop Dogg & Young Jeezy)
Didn't think I'd ever be putting 50 back on a positive list again, but this is straight for me...also, annoyed the dirty version I found isn't working anymore.
(7) Flux Pavilion - Do Or Die (Feat. Childish Gambino)
Soooo... ( ._.)
(8) A$AP Rocky - 1Train (Feat. Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, & Big K.R.I.T.)

The Bad
(1) Wale - Draft Pick
I miss the pre-MMG Wale so much. I used to listen to him all the time...now, I could barely get through the minute and a half of this.
(2) Azad Right - I Luv The Way You Taste
This has gotten some critical acclaim and I know he is popular out there on the west coast, but this one just isn't doing it for me this time. I have definitely liked his stuff in the past, though, so I'll stick with him in 2013. Check it out for yourself and hopefully you'll enjoy more than I have.
I'm actually not sure how I feel about this piece of work since I haven't listened to it all the way through, but thus far I haven't really been feeling it. He does have some solid features on some of his tracks on the mixtape, but until I get the overall vibe of this work I'm going to stick to my guns on how Folarin has been performing since he joined MMG. Definitely check it out for yourself though because it's free via DJ Booth and Wale deserves a chance regardless.

(4) Lil Wayne - Bitches Love Me (Feat. Drake & Future)
Maybe this is just me, but I don't understand why Drake is relegated to the hook on this. This seems like the perfect song for a nasally Canadian verse. Oh well...this isn't actually that bad for me, but it isn't great either so that's why it's on this list. Enjoy!
