Damn, Choppa & Abe. Where the hell you been?

Chop Steak & The Honest Ape

Frigid As February (Summer Mixtape 2011)

Y’all know how it goes when you’re out there trying to get on the good side of America’s wealth gap. Occasionally things get hectic, and they did this summer.

But late as hell, yet somehow right on time, allow me to present my summer mixtape for 2011, Frigid As February. I kept it 100% hip hop this year. There’s some new stuff and some old stuff, but it’s all cold stuff. So turn up your speakers and finish the summer off right. Cover art by Abe Garcia. Track listing, stream and download after the jump.
