I gotta say, the first time I listened to Spaceghostpurrp, I was far from impressed. The Miami MC/producer entered my conscious around the same time as Odd Future and appeared to possess the most obnoxious facets  of the LA collective. I recognized that Spaceghost obviously has the production skills and the charisma to be a successful artist, but something was missing. Since then, I’ve come around and now place Spaceghost somewhere in the realm inhabited by the likes of ASAP Rocky, Cities Aviv and Main Attrakionz. An impressive production acumen and improving lyrical ability  should help push him into the spotlight in 2012. As we saw with Rocky, it only takes one focused, well-rounded mixtape to launch an artist from blog afterthought to the spotlight.

Spaceghost dropped his latest release, a 30-minute mix of syruppy R&B tunes, on his Youtube account on Valentines Day, and while it does function as a perfectly fine love making mix, it’s more proper for a lazy Sunday. The hazy mix gives some insight into his influences outside of the hip hop world, and if nothing else, gives you 30-minutes of promethazine-laced madness. In the infamous words of a certain Rusko-collaborating group, roll it up, light it up, smoke it up.
