The local NYC rap sensation and key member of Miami’s Idee4 known as Shottie has just dropped an unbreakable LP titled ‘The Blackest Rose’ via 95 Labs in Brooklyn. The 10-track LP kicks off with “Black Roses,” a track that will get you committed to listening to the rest of the album. Shottie’s clear and flowing rapping style is accompanied by a dark, almost psychedelic arrangement, which, combined with his smooth, fast and concise rhyming, creates a rather unique atmosphere. You can listen to that track below and/or pick up the full album for free via the label’s Bandcamp page. – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
