Mixtape Monday - Ras Kass

Mixtape Monday is meant to hook you up with some good music and maybe get you (and me) into artists we haven't heard before. Mixtapes aren't usually very polished but sometimes that lack of polish is what can make them so good. So check it. Have a taste.

Ras Kass is one of the best who never quite made it. He's lyrically far ahead of most on the West (or East these days for that matter) and had the potential to succeed where rappers like Canibus failed - he could make a hook. I've been bumping Golden Chyld for a while now and I love it. It's enhanced by several songs that would have been on two of his albums that never came out.

So download it, stick it in your playlist and try it out this week. Check out the tracks 'Golden Chyld', 'Is This Love' and 'Kiss of Death'.
