Devin the Ripper – ‘I Am Who I Say I Am’ EP


After having a successful release party last night on Instagram live at the 7thdrumcity, Devin the ripper releases his new EP I Am Who I Say I am on all stream services. The production was hand by Kofi Cooks. The project was mixed and mastered by Judah. I really enjoyed the project at the album release party last night. My favorite tracks off the project are the lead single Out The Grind and Hustle Szn II, which pays homage to Can’t Knock the Hustle off Jay’s debut album Reason Doubt. You can check out the tracklisting and take a listen below via apple music.
