All I got to say it's about damn time. Anytime one of the Poorly Drawn People cats drop a mixtape or an album, it's always a big thing in my world. And after almost four years when he released Gemini Slang, PDP member Reason gets geared up to drop his Landlords & Lullabies album on April 6th. Reason is known for his "telling it like it is" approach on the mic. I'm eagerly awaiting for it to drop, but to hold us over, Reason and PDP Recordings drops this little mixtape. Haven't heard it yet, but I'm unzipping the file as I type this. Sure it won't disappoint. Also, check for that cat Falside's ode to Landlords & Lullabies, in the form of some teaser clips....check them out......

When he isn't making suicide threats or drinking excessively, Dirty Hank a.k.a Adolph Oliver Bush is an MC. He recently spent 6 months working 7 songs in which he compiled into an EP titled, "DirtyHank's Guide to Giving Up". This unique presentation of random acts of fuckery bleeds pain, anger, frustration, sexual angst, and disgust - all beautifully blended over production from acclaimed Providence beatsmith Falside, and up and comer Mad Plaid. Providence wordsmith, Reason of the Poorly Drawn People collective was pressured into making an appearence on "Fade to Wack" and "Overselpt". If your not left feeling deprived and anxious after listening to "DirtyHank's Guide to Giving Up", somebody didn't do their job.

Trav's Take:
I had heard the name "Dirty Hank" from the Poorly Drawn People circuit as well as from Falside. He reminds of of a cross between 1986 circa Beastie Boys and Slug. He can be brash and drunkenly obnoxious, but he also reflects on life itself, sometimes it sounds like it's through the bottle of a beer glass, which is alright in my book as well. The production is top notch as Falside keeps getting better and better and Mad Plaid drops some heaters as well. This is just a fun EP all around, not being too serious, but still touching on things with some attitude.
