Greg Falatek- The State Gatsby Review

Hey world I am back again this week to bring you another mixtape review. This week Greg Falatek is under the microscope with his latest body of work titled "The State Gatsby." This mixtape was released only a month after Greg's last Tape which was titled "Higher Education", and from one listen you can tell Greg tried to rush this project. As soon as I hit the play button I could not help but notice that the vocal quality in the mixing and mastering was not up to par with his last project. Most of the vocals are drowned out by the beats in the background and once again this is due to poor mixing. It takes a couple listens to really hear the great lyrics Greg has to offer on this project. However the poor mixing really takes away from what would have been a great follow up to "Higher Education." Aside from the mixing problems there are some good elements to The State Gatsby. Gregs beat selection is excellent on this project and all instrumentals complement the style Greg is going for. Greg is still coming at us with the laid back flows and weed references, but it still feels fresh and new. In the end this tape is still worth checking out you just have to try to get over the poor mixing and mastering.
Here is the official link to the tape, so i encourage everyone to check it out and still give it a chance.
