It’s the true return of the mack. Mason Monroe let’s it be know that 2017 is the year of the Nu Souf as he dominantly displays a skilled combination of sauced up raps, soulful slaps and new age jazz. Mixed, mastered and produced entirely by himself and Sirius, Nu Souf can be described as when Tallahassee migrates to Tampa, with a suit case full of gold bars and passages hand written my Max Julien himself. Mason Monroe makes it incredibly hard to choose a standout from this project that over powers the last. With tracks like “Swank”, with it’s smooth, jazzy undertones that just puts you in a calm trance. The ambient, but thugged out “Top Off” featuring a couple of Tampa’s next risers, Haze Ala & Skinny Scumbag. Ah man, and “Galleria” featuring Big Baby Scumbag is one of those tracks that forces you to bounce and chirp walk through the streets with a devil may care attitude. But it’s tough not to mention, hypnotic and airy “Dr. Feel Good”, featuring Loner Avenue. Nu Souf truly is a nine page testament for players only and Mason Monroe is the honoree at the Player’s Ball with this joint. Press Play and make sure you keep your ears open and your eyes peeled. Tampa and Tallahassee are up.
