One place that never gets it's just due is Philly. There are many great rappers coming out of Philly, some of the rawest in the game, and yet you really don't see too many Philly mixtapes. I have always been a huge Beanie Sigel and Young Gunz fan, and I rarely hear new stuff from them. Beanie's vicious street style and the way he always keeps it real is rare in this current climate of fakeness and switching-up. Young Gunz are super talented, and Young Chris has the potential to be one of hip-hop's greats, though he currently seems to be struggling to find a label.
With all this said, it's welcoming to see this new mixtape from DJ Keyz, "Illy Philly Part Four", the fourth installment in Keyz' ultra-popular series spotlighting Philly and it's fantastic artists. And this one got em all! New cuts from Beanie Sigel, Young Chris, Cassidy, Gillie The Kid, Meek Mill (the next up and comer), Freeway, Cyssero, Jakk Frost, Tone Trump, Peedi Crack and more. Standouts here are the amazing "Philly Shit" with Young Chris and the brand new "1 Clip, 1 Gun" from Beanie Sigel. Get on this already...
