So, as a follow up to Wednesday's Chicago release, we have this gem from Chi emcee Qwazaar. Qwazaar is, as most of you definitely know, one of the founding members of rap / graffiti legends Typical Cats, and an influential presence on the Galapagos4 label. His underground credentials are well established and he's proven to be a beast in the Chicago scene for over 20 years. While lately he's probably most well known for his collaborative efforts with Berlin producer Batsauce, his solo work is pretty good as well albeit hard to find (still looking for Fun Razors by the way if anyone's got that!).
RiverStyx Radio Vol. 1 (there is no Vol. 2 currently) is a mixtape that pretty well sums up where Qwazaar was between his Typical Cats releases and the Bat Meets Blaine era. Over a few familiar and less familiar beats with some remixes thrown in, Qwazaar delivers his signature style of braggadocio laced spiritual hip hop with his unique and interesting vocals and laid back delivery guaranteed to keep heads nodding.
Guest spots include fellow Typical Cat Qwel, as well as Cap(ital) D. A must have for any TC fan and a fun listen for anyone else.
