LIL UGLY MANE - MISTA THUG ISOLATION (2012)

AIGHT PLAYAS IT'S TIME TO HIT Y'ALL WITH SOME OF THAT PHONK. I first discovered this rap gem on tumblr around 2013 when this underground album was blowing up. What first caught my eye was the cheesy-90's-photoshop-looking album that wouldn't look out of place if you were to lump it in with old dirty south rap albums like Three Six Mafia's 1995 EP: Live By Yo Rep. The album sounds like it belongs in that era too. Surpisingly, Lil Ugly Mane is a white dude who pitched his voice down for this album. He also produced all of the tracks under his Shawn Kemp alias. Production on here is bass heavy with little bits of grit here and there. Its also full of dope samples, ranging from Alexander O'Neal to a 911 call about a dead body that was found in an alley (TWISTIN). Braggadocio and menacing as fuck, Ugly Mane raps about how many hoes he has (LOOKIN 4 THA SUCKIN), how high his stacks of cash are (BITCH I'M LUGUBRIOUS), and how he'll pull out his 9 & leave you crying like a bitch (HOEISH ASS BITCH). His delivery is pretty damn flawless too, especially since his flow is A1. All of the tracks on here are bangers, save for the 1st one. The 1st track is a mix of harsh noise/power electronics that will pretty much destroy your ears unless you're into that shit. (I personally kinda am into some harsh noise acts, but i didnt feel that track tbh.) So turn up that bass & blow out your speakers to this instant underground classic.
P.S. - Expect more of his work on here, since he's one of my favorite rappers of all time.

Standout Tracks: NO SLACK IN MY MACK, TWISTIN, BITCH I'M LUGUBRIOUS, SERIOUS SHIT, RADIATION (LUNG POLLUTION)
