Tough Junkie – Grab What You Can

Colemine Records dropped a CD in my mailbox a few months ago from Tough Junkie. The first 60 seconds of vocals on the album remind me of a cross between Mos Def and Joey the Jerk. He has something of a lazy delivery. Don’t mistake that as a diss… he’s just mad laid back sounding on the mic.

Grab What You Can” looks like what it sounds like. An earthy stripped down hip-hop album with of touch of old school jazz flavor. The beats are for the most part basic but are dope enough you can really get lost in a few of them. I’ll definitely be listening to this record again.

The honey bun dessert tip was pretty funny.

The record was a welcome departure from most of the absolute crap I get in the mail. 7.5/10
