EQ - Fractions (Mixtape)


The Richmond, VA emcee releases his latest project, Fractions, today, which also happens to be his birthday. Enjoy the festivities fam. From releasing his last project, Nonfiction, via TheJourney to continuously putting out visuals after visuals, I can honestly say that if every rapper but EQ was to die today, hip hop would be in good hands. Fractions is that rare kind of mixtape that plays more like an album. Support the f*ck outta the birthday boy and show him some love via Facebook.

Look for the official visuals towards Thrift Shop drop sometime tomorrow. Shouts to Nicolas Andres Gutierrez for the Stream. #SHARKFACEGANG
I am the most prolific thrift shopper in the rap game right now. What Bob Barker is to the Price Is Right, I am to used fringe jackets. My collection is worth anywhere between $70 and a $100,000,000 depending on who’s appraising it. I’m gonna be honest, if it’s me… I’m going with a million. Count the zero’s. That’s how many fur jackets I have. Tell PETA my Mink, Fox, Rabbit, Coyote, and Hungarian Raccoon jacket are ALL dragging on the floor. And I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way. I love my animals. But they’re dead. And they’ve been dead for hella. When I wear them, I’m bringing them back to life and introducing them to a whole new generation who wasn’t around when they were out in the woods doing their thing. Those animals have now migrated from some old lady’s closet, to a thrift shop and are now getting their proper shine, up to 40 years later. It’s recycling. And recycling is beautiful, am I right? That’s what this song is about. – Macklemore

So I’m starting to get excited about this mix tape I did with the homie Z-Trip, Attack The Block. We will release it one week from today, but I want y’all to be as excited as I am so I am releasing another preview. There was a great response to “To The Music” last week, so I hope y’all enjoy this one as well. Shout out to Jessica Care Moore for the incredible poem at the end. And calling Attack The Block a mere mix tape is not doing it justice. These rappers these days put out anything and call it a mix tape. Not me. Z-Trip is a true master. This is a mix tape you can put on in any situation and let rock. Get ready for cutting, scratching, and thoughtfulness on a mix tape. Attack The Block. 9-12.

Hero Records’ bosses throw in 3 different mixes, their 90s influenced Distant Hero Remix that takes Esther’s vocal and places it over a sparse, haunting piano groove and their a b-boy reworks that strip Weekend Sun’s original to its bare bones, adding new breaks along the way and placing the emphasis firmly on the funk."
