By the looks of this video, it’s getting harder and harder to distinguish Atlanta’s other hip-hop scene from the mainstream. Perhaps that’s the point. Of course, this is a song about “Caddys” — what more should one expect? Ride out. Park. Post up. Repeat.

That’s not a diss, just an observation on the visual tip. My hopes for SMKA’s The 808 Experiment are still as high as they were when I wrote about the compilation several months ago.

So, in case anyone gives a fuck cares, here are my votes (in this order) for the next video, if that’s even an option: 1) “Sweet Confusion” feat. Wil May and Toussaint, 2) “Alien (When in Rome)” feat. Jay West, Savage and Gilles, 3) “I’ve Been Drinkin’” feat. J Beans and Crysis.

Keep bangin’ people.
