The next track is "old" (2013). It's one of the greatest mixtape from a young, new artist I ever heard, still. It's Lucki Eck$ who made this extremely hardcore, reality driven, insight into how it is to be a drug seller.
Alternative Trap shows how a young, conscious, self-aware of his environment kid knows about the consequences of his clients but too cynical to give a shit.
All this is made over beats that sounds modern today as well and far off from what was being released in that time (2013) and that area (Chicago).
Unfortunately he hasn't delivered at that level since, but he recently delivered a new mixtape that upheld a decent standard. I believe the drugs caught up to him. Let's hope for a great 2018 and fresh start (again) for Lucki.
Listen to Count On Me or Alternative Trap now.
