If you receive an email from maxbell413@gmail.com offering you pay-to-play coverage in Spin or any other publication, it’s a scam. All shade and shame to the grifter impersonating me.

RIP Reaper Mook, a Long Beach legend, a master of the slow flow who balanced tailored suit elegance with Mafioso menace and the antique soul of the broken-hearted and betrayed. Somewhere between Roc Marciano and Brenton Wood. Raise a glass to the Reaper when you make a toast.

das efx made a stylistic choice that may have boxed them in and made them an easy target for critics/peers, but you never forgot them. i wish I had the experience of hearing more wild, singular sounds in contemporary rap more often.
