Mixtapes were pretty slow this week, so I'mma make sure you're acquainted with Allen Mask. A senior at UNC, Mask was the subject of a feature and an album review.
Check out his debut, Pilot Season, which is available for free over at Thinkopation, including a dope array of linear notes that include commentary from Mask and lyrics. Diversions staff writer Joe Faile said this about it:
"Mask blueprints strikingly ingenious beats to do his business."
"Mask puts a plethora of unusual instruments behind his rhymes. Violins add class. Saxophones jazz it up. Pianos root a polished eminence. And an appearance by UNC’s Clef Hangers takes care of the genre blending."
Mask’s debut showcases his production talent. If you like what you hear, check him out tonight at Cat’s Cradle where he’ll be headlining.
