]]> 20131008-204547.jpgCJ Fly is officially the newest break-out emcee from the Pro-Era crew. The 20 year old rapper just dropped his first solo mixtape, Thee Way Eye See It, last Friday, and it is obvious that he means business. The debut project not only features production from hot producers like Carnage, Statik Selektah, and Esta, but it also has an impressive list of guest artists–most notably, Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest. How this 20 year old managed to get one of hip-hop’s greatest retired rappers to appear on his first mixtape is beyond us. However, after listening to track, its obvious why the two decided to collab. CJ Fly‘s first album is lyrically focused, while still maintaining a very smooth vibe, reminiscent of the old school New York swag pioneered by groups like ATCQ. We’re interested in seeing which songs from the new tape CJ is going to debut while he’s performing on the Smokers Club Tour this winter. So far, tracks like “The Heist”, “Too Paid”, and “Seek Well” have received the most praise from CJ‘s fan base.

Spitta arrived at the Alife Rivington Club  last night surrounded by supporters, weed smokers and emcees alike, and the small streetwear venue was packed like a tuna can.  Due to Alife not having serato, Plain Pat played the album via Itunes, which, surprisingly, didn’t hurt at all.  The albums upsides can definitley be heard through Spitta’s collaborations with folks like Pharrell, Wiz Khalifa, Big K.R.I.T and Wale. The Stoned Immaculate feels like a cohesive album mixing live sound elements and his usual spacey, droning sound. After a round of applause concluding the albums last song, Spitta told the crowd, ” Man stop that shit. I Don’t need that. Just smoke something.” A humble man indeed.
