Why Kirk Collins’ ‘Modern’ Mixtape is a GO

Recently Charlotte’s DJ Pauly Guwop premiered Kirk Collins’ mixtape entitled, Modern and I can honestly say that it’s worth the listen. Now of course I’m all for Carolina artists, but when it comes down to it, it’s usually the mixtape that keeps the buzz going. Now usually when you hear a mixtape especially from an underground artist, there’s a high chance that every song will have the same focus or have the same vibe/rhythm. This time, it’s not like this. There’s not one song on the mixtape that sounds alike and that in itself is f**king refreshing.

The first song off the mixtape “Runway Models” featuring Austin Royale sets the tone almost perfectly. And you would think based off the first single you can see how the rest of the mixtape is gonna flow right? Uh no. Many of these singles were dope but the ones that really stood out and eventually placed on repeat were songs like “D.O.A (Death of Aaliyah),” “Glass Water” which was produced by Tyler, the Creator (yeah you read right), “I Love Sade (prod. by D.Sanders and TDE’s Isaiah Rashad),” and “Men Lie Women Lie.” Last but not least “Tarantino” as well as “Max B” simply HIT. Okay so there’s nine tracks on the mixtape and yeah I pretty much just told you that the whole mixtape contains nothing but fire quality songs but I’m only distributing the truth here.

Most mixtapes we give a chance to make us feel some type of way within 1 to 2 days but in this case, I don’t think it’ll take long for you to warm up to this mixtape or artist himself. Given that this mixtape has great production, fluid features, and dope concepts, it’s definitely going to be exciting to see what this artist will creatively distribute next. Until then.. stay tune or catch up.
