Nique x D.O.P.E. pt 2 x Mixtape Review

Emcees now a days are extremely hard to find. A lot of them just put a few corny punchlines down and call it rap. Not bringing any substance to the table by any means. That changes when you listen to Nique, bringing you his forms and ideas out of Henderson, NV. His 2nd installment of D.O.P.E. brings you 10 tracks. Personally, i think he shouldof took a little more time and gave us more than 10 but when you want to drop it on your birthday. You do what you can. He starts off with a heavy "dipset" type of record for the intro with really quick wordplay. Almost witty. Really heavy on the heatmakers drum patters. If you were looking for a soulful return, do not take the record out of the cd player just yet, this is just the intro ladies and gentleman. Then he takes you directly to "That Purple", which quickly shifts to that new age 90's Cool Kids heavy bass and drum snap record if you will. Using lines like "I gotta sick flo, you think that your hip no/ ill leave you bluer than a bottle of some hypno//" . You can tell he is definitely inspired by Mickey Facts, Cool Kids, U-N-I, etc. using the 808 drum and timbaland and a lot of lower pitch changes. He does bring you a few soulful cuts with "MBK" & "When I See Her". Also, bringing genius features with Jay Starr (look out for her), Niff and myself. I say this mixtape is definitely an add to the collection. And like he speaks upon in the last track "Hear Me Out", like he said hear him out. His link after the jump. $2

Hot line: "..."So every verse that's not from me is from a person under me//"
