Hidden Gem of the Week: Cool is in Session

Fiend, Spitta, and friend

Waddup world. Haven't been able to dedicate as much time to this blog as i'd like to, so i'm going to try something new that'll encourage me to update a little more consistently.

Today marks day #1 of Larry Draper's "Hidden Gem of the Week." This will be a weekly segment where i'll post what I feel are "hidden gems" that the entire blogosphere and internet aren't babbling about, but I feel are dope and need to be spread to the masses. The goal is to give you something unique and special that you can enjoy while using your new-found knowledge to brag to your friends about how you "put them on." More than likely the "hidden gems" will be related to music, but movies, restaurants, clothing boutiques, etc. could be included..the sky is the limit.

This week I want to highlight a mixtape by hip-hop artist Fiend entitled "Cool is in Session." Some of you may remember Fiend from his No Limit days where he rambled off his "RANH RANH" ad-lib all over No Limit's bounce driven and bass heavy beats.

In the past couple of years Fiend has turned over a new leaf. Taking his horn driven New Orleans bounce sound and transitioning to a smooth laid-back sound reminiscent of his recent partner in crime Curren$y.

This is Fiend's fourth mixtape of the year and even amongst the heavy array of smoke clouds, its clear quality and quantity run abundant in the Jet Life family.

Peep below for a download link to his tape as well as a full track list to vibe to via DatPiff. My two favorite tracks are "Take a Pull" and "All Summer Long.

Enjoy
