Swag from Yung Vegetable. A great tape from one of my current favs out of the
west. Former Odd Future-ian turned his back towards their sound back in 2011,
decreasing hype-weight and exploring a less identifiable style but having an
overall more satisfying trajectory (IMO). He’s got some clever rhymes, a swaggy
and confident flow, and some CHOICE beats (a Veggies staple). A mix between
California hustle and some hippy vibin’. He keeps things exceedingly strong on
his first collection of 2013. Every track here is a winner to me. Hooks are
catchy as cauliflower, and the whole’s varied enough to make a solid salad. Not
his strongest work to date (Sleeping In Class remains Veggies’ introspective
peak so far), but strong nonetheless.
