ADAM TRAORE

I've been listening to A-1, a rapper from the bay area a lot over the last year or so. He seems real chill, like he just wants to have fun with life... and not the get totally wasted every day and do stupid shit kind of fun. He'd probably rather hang out with some friendly people he's never met than go to the club and try to ball out in front of the groupies and bros. And I respect that.

I'll give you the link to his website HERE, which has download links and such. I like how the downloads are setup in that you can donate via PayPal. Kind of a name your own price scheme. I definitely gave a few bucks per mixtape and I think a $5'er on one of the longer ones. Not a whole lot, but I really haven't paid for much music this decade and I'd much rather directly support a dude like this than buy a CD at Wal-Mart.

There's a decent number of videos on his YOUTUBE page, and you can peep his twitter game RIGHT HERE.
