Literally done working for the rest of the decade, so why not drop these uncut gems that hit my inbox/Twitter timeline/DM? It's a regular NYE ting, seen? Latest is a new tape from Chopstars resident DJ Slim K, who applied that chopped up (and never slopped up) treatment to one of 2019's most talked-about albums, DaBaby's KIRK. You know, the album with cuts like "INTRO," "GOSPEL," and "BOP" on it. It's exactly what you'd expect it to sound like. Turn this NYE pre-game tape UP. Stream the full mix below.
Slim K's Purple Children 8 has been on repeat for most of this week. If you aren't up on his Purple Children series, it's where Slim makes sure to chop mostly new school rappers for the next generation. This edition has some really ill chops on it; I'm a personal fan of his chop of Valee's "Juice & Gin". That's my type of hype, and that cover from AWGE's Rob Gallardo fits the vibe perfectly.
OG Ron C and The Chopstars have been on a serious tear as of late, as has Jay Rock, who has dropped one of my favorite projects of 2018 in Redemption. Of COURSE I'm going to be excited with a Chopped Not Slopped version from Slim K. If it ain't Chopstars, you got SLOPPED UP and not CHOPPED UP. Press play, po' up, and vibe out.
