For those not keeping up, Ruin Your Day is battle rap videographer Avocado's brand and "RYD Radio" is a series of projects that collects and compiles tracks from various battle rappers. The first three entries have all been great and this past Monday, Avocado blessed us with Volume 4!
The idea that battle rappers can't make good music is one that surely should have died long long ago, but this current era really puts things to rest. As Ruin Your Day is LA based, the project is heavily West Coast in features - Geechi Gotti, Illmac, and Esem all have various verses throughout - but several key out-of-coasters also make appearances as well (e.g. Hollow Da Don, Ryda, Bill Collector, Madness.) The styles are also expansive here, but nearly unanimously top notch all the way through. Enjoy the punch-line heavy aggressive "Gangsta" from Bigg K, the introspective breezy "PDBM" from Eddy I and Baby Franco, and the progressive cultural critique of "Change" from B Dot all in one sitting.
The production is very clean, slappy, and current. I'm not entirely sure of the production line up, but I'm guessing Chase Moore had a large hand throughout.
Stream and Buy "RYD Radio Vol. 4" HERE and enjoy!
