Stream Butch Dawson's New Project, "PREY"

Whether he's performing, producing, dropping collaborative projects or dropping Basement Rap Radio mixes, it's hard not to see Butch Dawson's name pop up in Baltimore music circles. Known for a sound that points more towards key-heavy production and loopy synths, Dawson's latest full length offering, PREY, is one of his most trap-heavy outputs and as he descibes in a note below, it soundtracks one of the darkest periods in his life. Stream PREY below. 

From Butch Dawson:

"PREY is a dark and sinister project. It's about being in my own world of consciousness and what comes out of it musically. I started this project in a depressed, angry state of mind and i felt like the color red worked for what i wanted as far as art direction. The slogan I used to promote the tape was "prey on silence" and that basically means that I'm killing silence with noise."

Listen To Basement Rap's December "Basement Rap Radio" Mix

Baltimore's Basement Rap crew is back with a new installment of their monthly "Basement Rap Radio" mix. December's mix includes unreleased tracks from Buffa7o, Butch Dawson, Black Zheep DZ and a hilarious JPEGMAFIA song that comes across as a love letter to late-night Baltimore carryout, Jerry's where he details his favorite things to order "wings with mumbo sauce and a half & half). There's also beats from EU-IV, Jacob Marley and Llamadon musicians, Freaky and Michel. Stream "Basement Rap Radio" below:
