Seeing how much of this month's mixtape column covers ATL-based artists, let's talk about Dej Loaf. Those still trying to unravel the Michigan mystery ought to know that 'Try Me'- the thematically independent breakout single you probably first heard last month - was first recorded and released some two years ago. The self-described National Socialist's recent signing to Columbia screams false flag, especially given the calibre of guests (Birdman, Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug) on her suspiciously well-timed new tape.
For many rap artists, mixtapes serve as promising precursors that hopefully lead to album release dates. Migos, however, have essentially shifted the paradigm, dropping tape after tape after tape of sizeable length without a conventional endgame. Like their neighbour Gucci Mane, the Atlanta trio are post-album. However, such unfiltered profligacy has turned the sharpness of their Y.R.N. breakout to a dull hammer thud. At 81 minutes long, this is rap game feederism, a perverse McDonalds-style gluttony where our bodies beg for moderation but instead receives another fistful of Filet-O-Fish. Despite a fresh start ('Cross The Country') and a dozen credited producers, it takes less than halfway through for trap fatigue to set in. Bugatti, Versace, whatever - the words all stop making sense when you've got french fries coming out of your damn ears. It's not until 15 tracks in ('All Good') that the beat changes discernibly enough to breathe again. Nice cow impression tho, fellas ('Move').

The title of the project signifies the date his upcoming album I Am will be released. The Memphis rapper pulled a similar marketing move in 2011 when he released January 10th, a precursor to his debut album Live from the Kitchen. His latest mixtape includes features from Meek Mill, Shy Glizzy and Zed Zilla, as well as production from Jahlil Beats and The Mekanics.
