Tsu Surf comes through with his new mixtape, Newark, dedicated to his hometown. Surf earned his stripes as an elite battle rapper, but he's quickly proving himself as a conceptually-minded urban storyteller, and Newark is his most anticipated release yet.
The new tape includes features from the East Coast's top emcees, both young and old, including: Joe Budden, Jadakiss, Styles P, Emanny, Manolo Rose, and Louie V Gutta. Production comes primarily from Trunk Knockaz and Montage along with additional beats from GOOD Music's Charlie Heat and OVO Sound's Mike Zombie. Newark comes over a month after Surf's last mixtape, Garden Grillz. With productivity like this, he'll quickly become a fixture in the mainstream.
