Making up for last week’s quickie Minaj-arie with standout joints from YG, Gucci Mane, Brisco with Lil Wayne & Birdman, Fly Gypsy and Cormega.

YG “Toot It And Boot It” [mp3]
YG “Drunk And High” [mp3]
I first heard YG’s stuff on Jerkin With JHawk and zips of jerk tunes Mr Ducker and folks would send me. His mumbly, bedhead delivery is exactly what you’d expect from a teen solidly raised in this Gucci Mane-ozoic era, but he favors beats that blend cheap jerk 808s with dusty samples – an odd combination, but a winning one. (Sidebar: “Drunk And High” is produced by SF’s Skin and Bones, one half of whom also is in Caligula with longtime FG homie Vin Sol. More from them soon…)

Gucci Mane “No No No” [mp3]
Speaking of Radric… man, I haven’t even cracked his most recent mixtape trilogy, I JUST made it through the Burrprint. This one was tacked near the end but is a keeper. “Your jeweler is a loser.” More synth cowbell please.

Brisco f. Lil Wayne & Birdman “Thinking To Myself” [mp3]
Wasn’t ready to hit No Ceilings this week either. But this will more than do. Feels like playing Mario 2 high as giraffe ass.

Fly Gypsy “2 Step” [mp3]
This shit is jolly!

Cormega “Rapture” [mp3]
Welcome to New Yoooooorrrrkkkkk… these streets will make you feel braaaaand neeewwwww…
