Alvin Tatums and Jugg King came together like Metro and 21 Savage on their newest record, “The Mind Of The Hoodlums”. Jugg bringing the beats and Alvin Tatums brining the catchiest lyrics of the year so far. With songs like “Sneak N’ Geek” and “Lifestyle” showing off Alvin seamlessly bouncing through verses. Hard bass and spacious melodies are the name of the game here. Every track has this almost melancholic sound to the melody and the second those drums come in, your body will just start waving. Jugg did a great job at just creating an album and not a collection of songs. This album feels like a well processed effort and the talent these two already show without any crazy help from labels — proves their spot, not only on this site but, in the industry as well. With 17 songs, it’ll be easy for you to find a few favorites. Songs such as “Permanent Vacation” and “LCA” quickly became favorite for LEMON. On both of these tracks Alvin is off of something. Switching up flows and showing off a nice range that you wouldn’t expect from every rapper. Without a doubt this tape and both of these individuals are worth checking out.
a place for the underground.
