Late pass: Yak Ballz & MJG

Playa G - Drink A Yak (original version)
(From Drink A Yak 12" single; 1996)



MP45 has been uploading 12" single cuts which have never been on YouTube before and this song by Memphis rapper Playa G is my pick of the bunch. Full disclosure, ya host had never heard this original mix or the album version before but I prefer this one, meself - the vocals get lost a bit in the album mix with all the added synthesiser warbling. Gucci Mane always says Project Pat was one of his favourite rappers, gonna hazard a guess he was a big Playa G fan too?

That’s probably the most informative album review ever The Source could never. Speaking of Yak Ballz I downloaded his first album the other day should I proceed with caution?

I've never heard that but I do like his Home Piss EP on Fondle Em.

Chuckled loudly at the title of this post.

My fave Playa G song might be this one off his second album: https://youtu.be/ohastluJO_U

Big fan of the artwork on that one too.

Budget Suave House should be a full subgenre

This is why Rap is the G.O.A.T genre - even the budget stuff is great and full of character.
