Los&Tyga

In heaven...I just downloaded the eagerly anticipated mixtapes by Los AND Tyga, Worth the Wait and Well Done 2, respectively.
Los is an up-and-coming phenom from Baltimore with a strong following of die-hard supporters; who, as he says on his track "Say You Will", from the mixtape Welcome to Swaggsville, "You know, I officially got the word from my fans that I'm the best rapper alive[...]Haters, ya'll welcome to come, my fans will crucify you in them comments, haha..." Now, I'm not one of his fans who would go as far to say he's the best rapper alive, but he is damn good. I fell in love with him when I heard his cover of Alicia Keys "Unthinkable", he did a beautiful job with it and I haven't heard another male artist do it quite like that. Diddy made a mistake not signing and working with him. Welcome to Swaggsville is an incredible mixtape, 18 songs with no real definitive break in between, just the music flowing into the other. Shooter, The Louis Vuitton Gift Pack, The Crown Ain't Safe, and Zero Gravity were all equally well done and albums that put Los on the map as a real artist who should be watched out for.
Tyga is a staple in Weezy's Young Money team, hailing from California. Skinny and covered in tattoo's, he's another artist who goes hard, and with passion, in everything he does- Wayne was smart to catch him before someone else did. His mixtapes, Well Done, Black Thoughts, Black Thoughts 2, and his collaboration album, Fan of a Fan with Chris Brown, have likewise established him as a talented young rapper; just what YMCMB wants. In the beginning of the song "Black Thoughts" some incredible recordings open the song along with a few infamous rappers who once spoke their views of the rap world and industry, at one point saying, "What the rap audience isn't ready for is a real person..." Tyga bases his persona around this, working to show his real side, and to open a mixtape with a song like this is very strong and sets the stage for what the audience should expect next. Fan of a Fan was a very different installment than any of his other mixtapes, many of the songs were much sexier, his verses combined with Breezy's silky words were seemed most likey aimed at the female audience (I love the mixtape, so they definitely did their job there). Black Thoughts 2 was heavier and deeper look in the rapper's life, with songs like "Never Be the Same", "Reminded", and "Involved" as slower introspective tracks and some bangers like "Bad Bitches" which goes over a classic Lex Luger beat. (Speaking of Lex Luger, I'm in awe of his talent at such a young age.)
Needless to say, I know what I'll be listening to for the next few days...
