OFWGKTA member Hodgy Beats has remained under the radar these past few years as a solo artist but is making his comeback with the newly released mixtape Dena Tape 2 alongside Grammy Award-nominated producer Don Cannon. Released six years after Beats’s successful 2009 release The Dena Tape, the 12-track mixtape features collaborations with other Odd Future rappers and more, exposing Hodgy’s tight rhymes over equally well-produced tracks.

For the better part of the past five years, Hodgy has served as one half of MellowHype, the hip-hop duo consisting of fellow Odd Future member Left Brain and himself. Outside of that, the few bars he’s laid on a variety of tracks from Flying Lotus to Odd Future to Trash Talk have been sweet but short. However, Hodgy returns with full force, rapping on a majority of the album himself and delivering the quick and witty lyrics that he is known for. Other collaborators include OF rapper Domo Genesis and LA-based rapper Hit-Boy.

Peep at the mixtape below and tell us what you think.
