Last year J.K. the Reaper dropped his tracks “Suicide Note” and “Silent Bob” in preparation of his project, Almost Angelic 2, and to now fuel your sex drive once again he’s released the project in it’s entirety. As a sequel to Almost Angelic the project explores a range of emotions that paint a picture in your head. The first track takes you on a quest with your ride or die partner while the next few tracks define the difficulties that can come from being in love and the trials & tribulations that come with life, all the while remaining self-aware yet unapologetic of it throughout the project. Fellow Fang Life members Premeir Jones and 007Kane also assist J.K. on two tracks while Groveside Work, Kun, BrendenJBeats, and Ronny J take care of the production. Do yourself a favor and stream Almost Angelic 2 above!

Interview: Florida’s Natural with GABRL
As many local fans are aware, Florida has one of the most overlooked Hip Hop circuits, not only in the region, but the entire country. While it can be tough for local creatives to break out from the scene, Citrus Rap makes strides to continue to uplift the Floridians who are on their way up. Said creatives, seen all over CitrusRap, can be found making moves statewide— some even venturing out of state. Still there are several unanswered questions for these rising stars, so we went ahead and formulated a questionnaire to clear the air. This is a new interview series we call “Florida’s Natural,” so that fans can gain insight on the individuals who we believe have the juice.
