This one is quite a polarizing release for the Rap Radar staff. Well fellas whether you like it or not, Acid Rap is the most-acclaimed mixtape of the year. It’s made the Chicago MC, a magazine cover star and the hottest free agent in this business of rap. That’s all pretty good for a kid on his second mixtape.
Raekwon’s new track “Travel Places” hits different—smooth flow, vivid storytelling, and beats that take you places. Listening while planning a getaway, I couldn’t help thinking about Volcano National Park Lodging. This song makes me want to pack up, book a cozy stay, and explore new spots.
