RIBS for the Week of 9/23/2015 featuring Epyk, Evil P, RasJosh Beats, Ars N Nay, Spok Beats, Rokem and more

                                        Reviews In Brief from staff writer Tristan Douglas’ week

1. Evil P x RasJosh Beats collabo

This instrumental collaboration between Patrick Placentia and RasJosh speaks for itself. But I’d like to add that this track makes me think of Ice Cube maddogging people in a lowrider.

2. Epyk- Feeler

 

Epyk is a really nice guy but you wouldn't know it from his raps

3.

Bone Solyd and Rokem – Jazz Spectrum

Really enjoyed this EP. Fresh, melodic, chill stuff. Check it out!

4.

Ars N Nay - The Launch

Just bumped this whole album; great stuff. Ars n Nay are confident without being cocky, smart without being boring, hard-hitting but still chill. Both MCs are solid and engaging, their beat choices are always on point. I appreciate their depiction of working class life in the I.E. and the 626.
