Memphis Bleek Feat. Uncle Murda & Yung Kha – Extra Clips

@Test410_ – Kno Dey Jealous Ft. @ShyGlizzy
I thought I would just highlight this Test and Shy Glizzy collaboration that appeared on the Baltimore rapper’s mixtape that dropped yesterday. It was interesting to see a song with two artists from nearby cities who both have comparable ties to Atlanta scene both in the way they sound and in the artists they run with. Test’s gravely voice works well over the SM Tracks beat, both on the auto-tuned hook and on the staccato verses. Glizzy uses more of the same flow that was on “Awwsome” and it works well for a short feature. This and “I Ain’t Never” were standouts from the project for me.
@DonDruBlu Feat. Shanie – Probably
Produced by DaVinChe and taken from Don Strapzy’s Double Or Nothing, out now.
