Mafia Music 2

IslandBOI Productions

Following up last year’s Underdog 2, Denver’s own WesDawg has returned to dazzle audiences with a new heater of a mixtape, Mafia Music 2. Brimming with thumping, synthy beats and rapping that marries old school attention to lyrical detail with modern trap-inspired rhyme schemes and simplicity, the mixtape showcases impressive talent from the Colorado rapper. In addition to interesting beats and clever rhymes, Mafia Music 2 does well walking new listeners through the broad capabilities of WesDawg as a rapper; there are bangers cocked and loaded to blow up any dance floor, but there is introspection and exploration too.
