Project Pat - Mista Don’t Play
Jheeze! It just gasses me up every time I hear it. The production is right up my street, it’s dark, murky, hypnotic. I love the way he speaks just so simple and to the point. It helped birth some of my production style. Whenever I play it it just motivates me. It gets me gassed up man. I listen to it in the morning… I don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to that album. I don’t think I heard it when it [first] came out, I think I was still in school. What I heard before that was the Hypnotize Minds album that was out before that, but I ended up loving this one more.
