Elzhi-Elmatic

Fresh mixtape I just came across today. Elzhi is a rapper from Detroit, home of the Lions, Tigers and Eminem. I’m calling it now, the Lions are gonna win the Super Bowl this year but that’s not the point. Elzhi uses Nas’ beats (Halftime, It Aint Hard to Tell…Detroit State of Mind…etc.) and slightly modernizes the beat while spitting fire.

He is known particularly for his complicated rhyme schemes, involving polysyllabic ‘patterns’, internal rhymes and alliteration, as well evocative imagery, simile and metaphor. On May 10, 2011, Elzhi released his highly anticipated mixtape “Elmatic”, produced by Will Sessions, as a tribute to to Nas’ classic debut “Illmatic”. The mixtape has received glowing reviews from critics and fans alike.

*fun fact- Chris Brown’s song She Aint you uses the beat from Nas’ song  It Aint Hard to Tell. Click “Read More” to get the download link.
