Philthy Rich has been in go-mode recently. The rapper's dropped off a ton of music in the past few weeks and now, he's back with his new project, Big 59. The short EP consists of five songs in total without any features. It also includes the previously released single, "Troublesome 59" which sampled Tupac's "Troublesome 96."
The rapper's latest project follows a heated back and forth he had with fellow West Coast rapper, Mozzy. Earlier this month, the took shots at each other with several diss tracks, including the previously mentioned "Troublesome 59." However, it seems like things have died down since then but the beef at least helped for promotion.
Along with his latest EP, Philthy Rich teamed up with Bay Area's Kamaiyah for their latest collaboration, "Break The Bank."
