Check It ... Aight, New Drink


I caught this joint on twitter and after reaching out to the team behind it, I had to share. Aight, New Drink is DOPE! The project is a collaboration between Rob Viktum and Don Will (of Tanya Morgan). They bring five quality tracks and the joint features a few other emcees. Download this joint immediately, unless you hate GREAT music!

Rob Viktum's Commentary
I owe the initial idea of hollering at Don Will, to the ARE. I consider him a close friend, and he told me the next step in the game for me would be to holler at an mc and do a full project with them. Honestly my first thought was Don. I shot him a message, and he hit me back almost immediately and agreed to do the record. We both agreed about making it free, but making sure it was quality enough to make people still enjoy it as if they had purchased it. I hope you guys enjoy "Aight, New Drink" and I look forward to sharing more with you guys. Peace

Don Will's Commentary
I have what I like to call rap tourettes meaning that throughout the day several rap quotes swirl around my head be it contextual or not, something just triggers them. The name of this ep is based off of the first words you hear on Tupac's song Thug Passion. The way he says it is just so erratic. Sorta like 'okay yall stop drinkin that bullshit i got something else for you' and that embodies the spirit of how the project came together. I may be one of the most impulsive artists ever. Smack dab in the middle of getting Don Cusack in High Fidelity ready for mixing I decide to embark upon recording a new EP. Thats not sayin that Don Cusack was backburnered, just that i was bored out of my mind hearing the same records over and over and Rob reached out at the exact moment that I decided I was ready to work. Its a brisk song set that is just as impulsive in topic as it was in creation. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as i enjoyed making it.
