RIT is in the building!
Naim Hakim, who goes by the production name Con Artist, just released his Lost Cause mixtape, and it’s full of clean and experimental productions that will have you paying close attention to lyrics while nodding your head to his infectious beats. It’s his debut project, so I’ll let Naim introduce it:
“This is my mixtape that I put together over a 10 week period (fall quarter). It was a little independent study, but it grew to a fully self-produced mixtape. It’s my interpretation of what I see through sound. It has a mixture of genres including hip-hop with dubstep influence and downtempo. There is a pinch of drum&bass and some ambient stuff.”
It was hard to choose which tracks to put up as previews since there is such a wide variety of songs, so make sure you download the full mixtape to listen to the music the way it was meant to be experienced, complete with instrumental interludes and all.

“. . . Take a second to be a little more pensive,
‘But it’s too serious to wanna comprehend it!’
These are the same girls that guys wanna meet,
And if you offend her, you’re never gonna beat,
And she be at everybody’s crib, with her cup in the air,
Like ‘Aww skeet skeet skeet!’ “
So true.
