The new ep from Rhode Islands Troop Raw is finally here. Troop has been a constant figure on the RI scene for years,a part of many groups,most recently Boombox Saintz with LordWillin’, Boombox Saintz recently toured East Coast USA with Danny Diablos Ill Roc Records. The ep only has 2 featured artists Swann & LordWillin and features production from Enlight, Studs Ramrod,Shroomz One and Mic Feen.
Already the single Comfort zone has been played on The Bottomless Crates Radio Show on NE1 FM, Thomas Handsomes shows Dumb Up Radio (Fleet DJs),Dumb Up Radio 2.0 motahiphop.com and Lokal Vokalz on 89.5fm KOPN in Columbia MO and on DJ 456 to and by DJ Modesty on his Real HipHop Show and also on Matt Chans show,Straight No Chaser on CJSF in Canada. It was also featured on Thomas Handsomes mixtape Sweet Sixteen (Coast 2 Coast) and DJ Nominals Revolutionary Riot Report Volume 13.
Troop is also a well known name in graff circles in his hometown and beyond and this ep is definetely one for the graff heads. Troop displays his versatility for hardcore punchlines while still keeping it grounded in real life,switching from typical bragging bars to dropping jewels on loyalty,brotherhood and the struggle to live in these uncertain times.
Originally the art.Illery project was meant to be his debut album on First Son Records but Troop had some minor legal problems that he had to deal with and is now finishing off a 12 month bid.
So heres an EP of 6 bangers with all proceeds going to his family.
