Nifty – The Come Up (Mixtape Review)

Discovering Nifty is one of the reasons I am that I'm glad I started this blog. Filtering the garbage music out of hip hop has forced me to discover new artists and also keep a record of the music I like. Nifty is like Ace Hood and Tyga wrapped into one. He has a rapid-fire west-coast flow but also has dimension and substance in his raps. The production on this new mixtape, The Come Up, was with out a doubt album quality. The hooks on this were well crafted and addicting. The tape itself was a bit long but thorough and dynamic the whole way through. Nifty raps about the usual southern rap subjects but he has completely original, yet mainstream-ready style. He can switch his flow to adapt to any track without sounding out of place. Plain and simple this dude has it all. The standout tracks are not worth naming because this entire tape is fire! Bump it in your vehicle, 4.25/5.
