What a journey it has been for Mach Five putting out this project, originally premiered on MTV RapFix. There’s been several write-ups worth reading, few as epic as one by Mishka Bloglin though (go ahead, take a gander). The Atlanta duo gives us something we can enjoy under various settings…cooling with your significant other (“Blowing My Mind”), contemplating life (“The Juxtaposition”/ “Something On My Mind”), or maybe getting inebriated (“Who You Rollin Wit”). Nonetheless, Art Rap is the complete package, featuring collaborations from Trinidad Jame$, Chippy Nonstop and Gangsta Boo, with production from DJ Burn One. The LP looks to implement an artistic scope in every aspect of its packaging and release, juxtaposing music with conceptual artwork and video.
