Just around 2 weeks ago Rapper/Singer Drake "drizzy" Rogers released an impressive, very well put together "mixtape" album called "So Far Gone.." This is a Follow-up to last year's "Comeback Season" mixtape-album which i personally was amazed by, & was what initially sold me on him as an artist w/ standout individuality and great potential. "So Far Gone.." consists of 17 tracks +1 bonus track("Congratulations") with features of Trey Songz, Bun B, Santogold and of course Lil Wayne who just recently co-signed Drake to his Young Money label.I've been following & bumpin Drake longer than about 80-90% of ya'll.. going back to around October of 2007, and every track he's dropped or have been featured on since then is simply FIRE, nothing less. Drizzy lays verses that go harder than most of today's rappers, & as a bonus.. dude SINGS too. think of Drake as a "Cleaned up, Understandable" version of Lil Wayne mixed with Trey Songz and a lil bitta' Robin Thicke.. & that's word.
In my opinion, by "MIXTAPE" standards.. "So Far Gone" is a Classic, and is every bit as good as his last lp Comeback Season if not BETTER. Standout tracks include: Successful, Congratulations, Best i ever had, Houstatlantavegas, Uptown, Unstoppable, November 18th, Say What's Real & Brand New. Everything else remains as "listenable," & nothing short of aaite. lol
Overall: 5 out of 5
