Reef the Lost Cauze: Squeeze

Eff it - I don't care if he's one of my friends, Imma say it...Reef the Lost Cauze is one of the best MC's to come out of the city in the last 10 years. Hell, as I sit and write this, I'm not really sure I can think of 5 MC's that I've been exposed to that can be put in that category. Read the last part of that sentence again before getting hype...I said "that I've been exposed to."

This week, 215hiphop.com's (who just won best website at the 2008 Philadelphia Hip-Hop Awards) MP3 feature of the week helps solidify my opinion. Produced by Haj (of Dumhi), Reef rhymes it out on "Squeeze". The track is off of his upcoming project, Long Live the Cauze, Volume II: I Am Legend mixtape, which will be released this Friday at the Money Folders Party.

I don't like doing album and single reviews - - especially of people I know, but this is a REVIEW blog, so I'll keep it simple...this song is dope, dope, dope. The lyrics, the vibe, the beat, everything. From the beginning to end, "Squeeze" is fully blasted and perfectly crafted...yes yes! Go listen for yourself, and no matter what you think - I know I'm right (slight sarcasm, mainly truth)! 215hiphop.com tends to change the MP3 often, so don't miss the boat.

"This is therapeutic/this is cherished music/yet animalistic" - Reef the Lost Cauze, "Squeeze"

Respect!
