A few days ago Nak dropped his mixtape Fruits. Now if you aren’t familiar with Nak, you’ll want to know that he’s a bit different from most rappers and when I say that, I mean that he’s a Christian rapper. Don’t let that fool you though, he’s no softy. His flow is solid and his lyrics are meaningful and cleaver. Having listened to the mixtape a few times over and hearing some songs prior to the release of his mixtape I’ve already found favorites. Songs like Night Sky penetrates the soul and makes you think or Spiritbomb are up tempo and fun. The featured song Hourglass I felt was new and refreshing in terms of beats that are commonly used my Nak and well… Just listen to it…  

So my initial rating of each song:

• Hourglass - 9
• Spiritbomb - 8
• Demonstrate - 10
• Open Up - 10
• Let’s Choose Life - 9
• Bicycle Chains - 8
• Night Sky  - 10
• Sunrise - 9 

Overall Album Rating: 9.1

NAK - Sunrise

A night sky turns into a sunrise

Common Market | Push

Jurassic 5 | Future Sound

Esbe | Live 

Often confused for Nujabes “last beat” This is off Esbe’s Sweet&Sour 2nd Collection. Although it is quite believable that this is a beat that Nujabes was making before he passed away it’s not likely. Regardless, This is an amazing beat and Esbe should get the credit he deserves.

Five For Fighting | 100 Years 

 Always nice to change things up. Don’t always just listen to one type of genre, all music is good and it all comes down to preference.
