Listen up NYC, Maffew Ragazino can’t be held down.  He’s been rocking the mic on the underground for a bit, but he’s ready for the hip-hop world to take notice.  Peter Rosenberg–co-host of The Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg Show on Hot 97–has taken to the airwaves to show some love for the Brooklyn spitta, but Ragazino knows his music speaks for itself.  Ragazino dropped his latest project Rhyme Pays earlier today. The album features a few previously recorded joints, but mostly boasts new music from the Brownsville-bred emcee.  Be sure to check this project out.  Another cosign doesn’t mean anything unless people take notice, and to that end, Maffew had some words for his followers on Facebook prerelease:

Finally, it is here. There is the link to Rhyme Pays. Yea, it’s costing you nothing but a listen and a share. Share it, share it, share it. And DO NOT skim through my shit either, please give it a fair ear. You WILL love it.

Check out the album, download it below and keep an eye out for an album review.
