Young Money Yawn releases the second edition of his Street Gospel series, hosted by DJ Drama. Yawn came up in Norfolk, Virginia and had a major co-sign from Pusha T a few years ago. Last year, it was announced that Yawn had signed to RCA records. Street Gospel 2 has some familiar records, like “New Jack City”, “Half The Time” featuring Young Dolph, “Gutta” with Shy Glizzy and “Shout Out to Papi” with Pusha. The tracks are mostly Just Blaze-style soul chops meet 808s in the traditional Southern fashion. “Rain Rain” and “Allergic” stand out (as well as the singles.) Songs like “I Be Shining” seem out of place, with Yawn talking over his own raps and exploring a Migos flow that doesn’t fit his usual style. The mixtape is still worth a listen, especially if you’re unfamiliar with this Virginia rapper.
