Record Rack

The longtime Too Short producer assembles a bevy of established and up-and-coming rap talent on this laid-back, funk-driven collection. Featuring Banks’ signature bass-driven instrumentation, the 17-song set showcases some of California’s most talented and underrated rappers mixing braggadocio with gangster themes. Controlled rap flows and superior soundscapes make for a formidable mix.
