Debut album by Lil Gin, rapper from Memphis who produces this tape for Skinny Pimp's Gimisum. The latter is also the main guest at the rapping of the cassette, which is produced by DJ Paul.
Good light jazzy boom bap, raw syncopated lo-fi drum, great piano sample and light guitar riff. The rhythm is let to breathe, then a single line with vocoder by Skinny Pimp, while Lil Gin delivers with a syncopated and slow, effortlessly flowing style. The second track boasts a light rhythm, boom bap lo-fi with light drum and single line looped in the background spitted by Skinny Pimp (I guess), followed by Lil Gin rapping.
The third joint still features Skinny Pimp: rhythm left to breathe for a few seconds, with female samples and fast frenetic drum, good slow and smooth syncopated delivery of the performer. The final choice, along with the first one, is among the best of this four-song cassette: six-minute posse with Memphis MCs, dark cut, light snare drum, dark samples, single introductory lines from Skinny Pimp, scratched and looped in the background, then skeletal and energetic vibrating drum machine.
I believe Lil Gin is almost singing in the first verse, effortlessly smoothness slow syncopated delivery with a youthful voice that sounds almost feminine, then CarMike, DJ Paul and Koopsta Knicca. After offering the chorus, Skinny Pimp completes the song with two stanzas, interspersed with a couple of lines from Lil' Buck.
Pretty solid tape, recommended for fans of the Memphis scene: DJ Paul & Skinny Pimp are among the main protagonists in the Lil Gin cassette.
Rating: 7/10.
