You’re right LP. When i stated newcomers, i meant that his buzz is building and more people are taking notice. Detroit Deli was a good album

Dam, you guys should make an edit button lol. Sorry about that you said that you didn’t think he was overhyped, anyways yeah El’s been in the game for years. Anyways here’s a link if you want a copy of the album, they also have a MP3 version.

I have links to the actual euro pass album, his out of focus EP, and his Witness my growth mixtape. Email me if you’d like any of it. lol @ that guy who said overhyped, then says “EP”, and THEN says top 5 newcomers. He’s been in the game for more than a decade. I also suggest you BUY “Detroit Deli : A Taste of Detroit” which is a slum village album with T3 and Elzhi. It’s one of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time. (J dilla has a beat and a verse on that album)I posted this before but Elzhi spoke about a mixtape he’s doing in tribute to Nas and Illmatic. It will be called “Ellmatic” and he said Royce wants to get on “Life’s a Bitch”, which IMO would be so amazing.

It’s a very dope EP. I don’t think he’s over-hyped though, i think it’s justified. He’s in the top 5 of newcomers when it comes to lyrics

Another solid review! This one hasn’t gotten many plays from me yet, but it is one of the best this year.

I’m diggin this joint. I will upgrade from the A&R advance copy I received about two weeks ago to an offical joint later this week.

I’m not familiar with much of his work other than the singles from Slum Village and the Little Brother joint…so all of the music is new to me.

Good ish!
