"Grind Hard" by Starlito as well as DJ Burn One

The best for-one's-car swat mixtape of 2010 since Yelawolf's "Trunk Muzik" is Starlito's "Renaissance Gangster." Having played out the former, I'm making the not-so-difficult passing from one to another from Alabama to Tennessee.

"Trunk Muzik" here, "Renaissance Gangster" here.

Witness the appeal of "Renaissance Gangster" in "Grind Hard," the deep soother made from mahogany electric piano, laidback synth sizzle, full-bodied bass, as well as Starlito slur-croaking some surprisingly well-written endurance raps.

Rapping-wise, the tapes aren't which similar. Yelawolf stands out from the flock with his pro-wrestler sized personality, perfect staccato sing-raps, operation of songwriting styles as well as hyperdescriptive storytelling. He's additionally the crossover figure with his whiteness as well as outspoken adore of skateboarding. Starlito, upon the other hand, is the man one must adore swat to appreciate, the mush-mouther assumingly competing for "world's stonedest man," sneaking artistry as well as philosophy in to rhymes upon "Renaissance Gangster," employing the near-catatonic smoothness which obscures all poetic strictness as well as says, "I do not care if you don't conclude my dopeness."

Sound-wise, the tapes are comparable, both smooth, booming studies in Southern-style automobile candy which sound improved the louder they go. But while Yelawolf's "Trunk Muzik" might begin the celebration in one's car, "Renaissance Gangster" is like swimming underwater, with DJ Burn One's beats (he did them all, as well as coincidentally additionally hosted "Trunk Muzik") full of diffuse, atmospherical keyboards. On the pretension lane as well as "! Coastin Streetmix," he uses wordless, miles-away echo-chamber singing to mermaid-like effect.

Because it moves during around 130 bpm, Southern swat can be interpreted fast or slow, as well as while Yelawolf is all the time exploiting this underline with nimble half-time/double-time switchbacks, Starlito sticks to slowness upon "Renaissance Gangster," ending up with the tape that's all un-dynamic but not in the bad way. It's got the heavy, saturated feel.

I schooled about "Renaissance Gangster" over during Brandon Soderberg's "No Trivia" blog.
