His mixtapes with Left Brain as "MellowHype" were decent, however this showed me that this guy is growing up and ready to really deliver. Even on the shorter songs like "If Heaven is a Ghetto" & "Ave" Hodgy went in.
If you know me then you know I'm a sucker for good samples used properly. I heard "Higashi LovesYou" where Hodgy used Patti Labelle's "Somebody Loves You Baby" and decided that this is one of those mixtapes I could sit back and vibe to for a while. The members of Odd Future are good for providing hot bars over some nice samples, (Domo Genesis especially) so I wasn't completely surprised. Hodgy sounds nice on all the tracks, but certain ones like "Bullshittin" over Juicy J's beat and "In A Dream" showed me he's not just the goofball I thought he was (watch the "Rella" video + the trailer for Loiter Squad and you'll see why this was said).
Don't sleep. The kid is nice.
