i’m blessed to debut this joint for the world. the video for A.B. the producer’s “Go Hard”, featuring X.O., Pro, & Lyriciss. i’m so damn impressed, too. the track is nuts, and the video is just as crazy. my man jamie from funkadelic freestyles directed this joint! enjoy, we’ve all been waiting a long time for this to drop. shout out to the entire studio 43 camp, and for my man phil for blessing me with the exclusive, as well as editing this joint.
oh my lord. studio 43’s A.B. the Producer has delivered with this one.
this among is the most enjoyable mixtapes i’ve jammed in a while. i didn’t say the most technical, or the most ingenious. A.B. is a producer first, but as a rapper/singer/whatever you wanna call it, he’s definitely entertaining and can make some catchy songs. agree or disagree, i don’t really care. i’m all about those craaaaaazy beats. that’s what i live for. and apparently, so does A.B. i remember after i heard his “charisma” last year, i was beyond impressed with his production skills, but to see such tremendous growth in such a short period makes me pretty excited to see what the future holds. from samples to original compositions, he rocks every single beat. i even think some of these joints should be held for some A-list talent (meaning world famous, not like the artists on the mixtape aren’t good. you know what i mean!) if you ask me.
i really dig how the DMV artists all support each other. virtually anybody who is anybody on the scene blesses the mixtape with a verse. literally. you name them, they’re probably on it. yes, that means wale is on the joint. but so are raheem devaughn, lyriciss, marky, pro’verb, mouse, X.O., ra the MC, and a slew of other emcees and singers. you gotta check the tracklisting after the jump to see who else blesses the mixtape.
A.B., this joint cranks. great work. everybody needs this in rotation right about now. i’m throwing up a couple samples, just in case all these words didn’t persuade you to download it yet.
*note: you need some nice speakers to jam these. trust me. at least have some bass at your disposal.*
