[tps_header]Young Thug & Bloody Jay: Black Portland (free download)[/tps_header]
What It Is: A collaborative mixtape between Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Bloody Jay.
Why You May Have Missed It: Hardcore followers of the Atlanta hip-hop scene have likely heard it, or at least heard of it. Modest fans have likely missed it, due to it being a mixtape from fairly new artists.
Why You Should Hear It: Young Thug is one of the freshest new voices in hip-hop, and Black Portland is his best record. Lyrically, it can be pretty off-putting, but it’s usually hilarious and always listenable. To quote Orange Is the New Black, take a break from your values… and listen to Young Thug. (That’s how the quote went, right?)
Highlights: “Suck Me Up,” “No Fucks,” “4 Eva Bloody,” “Danny Glover.” (Nicki Minaj’s awesome remix of “Danny Glover” is also worth mentioning, even though it doesn’t appear on Black Portland.)
