Stevie Crooks | Diamonds & Guns
Ladies and gents I am excited to say that Stevie Crooks’ new long awaited mixtape “Diamonds & Guns” has finally dropped. It is everything I expected and more. From the first track this mixtape captivated me with its smooth laid back, sophisticated, raw 90’s hip-hop feel. Of course you can expect Crooks to intertwine his thoughtful, sharp, clever, shrewd, quick, and stylish lyrics seamlessly over a refined, delicate, and elegant raw beat. After I listened to D&G (“Diamonds & Guns”) for basically the whole part of my day I had to go back to his previous mixtape “CSTS” to compare. Usually some artists will make the same mistake over and over again by basing their next project on the same topic as their last piece of work, just stating them in a different way. With D&G this was not an issue at all. It seems as though Stevie Crooks has started to open himself up as an artist, sharing with his listeners a more personal side of himself. Putting aside his love and passion for streetwear Stevie Crooks unravels the mysteries of the life of a villain.
