I just caught onto Fuego Base last night, while spinning through Benny the Butcher's catalog {GRISELDA...Griselda....griselda...}.
Instantly, I was obsessed with the greatness of his name.
Then, I heard the raps.
Now, I've had headphones on since the '80s.
I've been a DJ since the '90s.
And I've been knee-deep in The Science ever since.
I try not to be one of those exhausting people always talking about music not being as good as it used to be. I try to find value when/where/if it exists with each song. But, I'm always keeping an ear out for people who can really rap. I'm not necessarily talking about the most popular rapper. I'm talking about someone with a heavy pen, who can really put it together - and then deliver the vocals.
They don't come around often.
Fuego Base has it.
And, he has the best name in the business.
I moved on from the Music industry years ago.
But, if I was still in it, I would be trying to manage this guy.
I just texted all of my friends to order a 16 from him.
