I downloaded this tape a while ago but recently the tracks have been popping when I've had my blackberry on shuffle so I decided to do a post. If you've been following COTN, you should know who Prophit is. Nowadays he's going by Cody B. Ware and just dropped "The Blue Demon" which I'll be checking out ASAP. The first thing about the tape that caught my attention was the title. It's long as hell but dope as fuck too lol. I could relate to it because I've always felt like people shunned dreamers but their ideas make the world go round. If you're not dreaming you should really reconsider what you're life's about. The first track "King Without His Crown" reminded me of a vintage Premo produced track with its scratches and infectious beat. This track kept me glued me into the rest of the tape with the statement "I'll stay unsigned hype making classics depsite no funding". That line let me know this was about the love for the music, not the fame. The beats on the tape are all original and makes it seem like more of an album than a mixtape.When you have access to other artists beats due to the internet, it's dope to see an up and coming rapper stepping outside of the box. Dude's flow is SERIOUS and it isn't surprising that he draws his inspiration from Pun who was known to slaughter mics while he was alive. Some standout tracks include "Baroness", "Make Love" and "Steady Flowin". It's cool to see people with talent bringing the game back to where it needs to be. Checkout "King without his crown" Link to the tape after the vid.
King without his crown
Cause when you stop dreaming, It's time to die
