The Better Party: Mixtape Review

I mentioned these guys to you before a while back and here they are again. This time with an entire mixtape to present to you. The project is titled "The Better Party" and I downloaded it for free last night from EarthGang's official website. Today as I made my way through my day I listened to it and by no means was I surprised. I'll start with the first track: "Boom (EG Rock)" I can tell you now that this song will be going into my "most frequently played" playlist on iTunes. The production on this track is amazing; the sounds are so full and every instrument compliments each other perfectly. Luckily, the production quality throughout the entire mixtape is on par. Now let's talk about the artists, Johnny Venus and Sir Hobbes bring a certain something to the music that the rap game hasn't seen in recent years, a je ne sais qoui if you will. For the sake of making a comparison I would call them the young modern day on their way Outkast. As a sidenote I will add that while there is that Outkast undertone to their sound; you can't call one 3 Stacks and the other Big Boi, they are their own individuals indeed. To finish, I must mention track number 10. Hands down I call it dope. My criteria for a dope track? Simply said, if it makes me want to pick up a mic and hop on it myself, then I call it dope. "Throwed", the track I'm referring to, makes me want to step in the both ASAP, but we all know I won't so it's just the thought that counts here. "The Better Party" gets 2 thumbs up from me. Good job guys!!
