Polyester the Saint dropped his album P.O.P. earlier this summer and it was a true treat. Polyester has all the trappings of the classical Southern pimp persona – silky rhymes, smooth delivery, confidence – but without [most of] the characteristic misogyny. Plus he has an excellent ear for beats, especially if you like listening to music while driving.

A deluxe version of P.O.P. is dropping on August 20 with new songs, including “Late Night Dippin’ ” (Dam-Funk Remix) which features a new verse from Kurupt and a new, funky instrumental courtesy of Dam-Funk.  Listen to “Late Night Dippin’ ” below and stream P.O.P in full if you like what you hear (you will).

Polyester The Saint dropped “I Win” featuring Freddie Gibbs last week, showing he can hold his own side by side with a vet. Here, we witness Polyester The Saint bringing his quintessential West Coast (with more than a hint of Southern aesthetics) style to the task of carrying an entire album. The beats are filled with cowbells and claps, the lyrics filled with cornbread and full days of cruisin’ around. Purchase POP on iTunes here and get familiar with The Saint. Features include Gibbs, LE$, Mann, Mr. Surprize, Bad Lucc, NIKO G4, and Jay 305.

Readying for the release of his fourth album, POP, Polyester the Saint enlists Gangsta Gibbs on his latest single, “I Win.” The West Coast rapper has been known to bring the funk, but he may have outdone himself on this one. His California flow was nicely complimented by a very cloudy beat, which he produced himself. Freddie Gibbs’ verse elevates the track even more, sealing the deal. Stream “I Win” below.
