Yelawolf & DJ Muggs — Mile Zero


Collaborative tape between rapper Yelawolf and producer DJ Muggs. Consisting of 9 cuts and 36 minutes of listening, the project is based exclusively on the goodness of the soundscape chosen by Muggs and the contribution of guests, including B-Real, Caskey, Del tha Funky Homosapien and DJ Paul. The producer linked to Cypress Hill invents solid rhythms, certainly not his best this year or this month, but they're good: light boom bap composed of accessible minimal drums and melodic samples, some dark, some ethereal, others returning relaxed vibes. On these kinds of beats, the best guests keep the mixtape afloat ("Privacy" is a street lamp in the grayness), while Yelawolf remains your typical generic mc, he doesn't necessarily sound bad most of the time, but neither too good, he doesn't seem to commit, aight, I don't care. Muggs did a job worth listening to here, 6.2/10.
