NWORDS — the newest EP by Atlanta rapper Small Eyez — dropped Tuesday and the buzz has yet to ebb.  Don’t be fooled by the number of tracks on the EP, this isn’t a one-track and done listen and y’all would be best served to hear everything he has to say.  Small Eyez spits verbal poetry on some of the tracks, but the producers who teamed up on the EP really set it off.  Sal Dali (5-7 tracks), Abnormal and Clear Cutt put in work and each contribute to the mixtape’s overall success.  If I could, I’d recommend four or five of the tracks — but that’s not realistic, so here are my top 3 tracks off the album.

To The Sky: Takeoff!  The first song on the album brings the heat on a fresh beat courtesy of Sal Dali.  Eyez’s flow dominates this track and starts the album off on a high note.

Shurikens: This was my favorite track on the EP.  Not only does the intro meld perfectly into the chorus, but it also sets the course for the rest of the song.  Small Eyez hits the ground running on this track and spits fire.  Rap game take cover, Eyez will hit you in the head with a shuriken.

NWORDS: Last, but certainly not least — Eyez slows it down as he closes out the EP in style and puts a stamp on the mixtape.  Not sure what’s in store for this young emcee, but I’m certainly keeping an eye out.
