Rockie Fresh, a young new rapper from Chicago, dropped his Driving 88 mixtape last week. After a few spins, I gotta give him credit for his beat & sample selection throughout the tape. I was suprised to hear him go in on a Coldplay song (no homo) and can’t think of another rapper who has dared to do that in a mixtape.

I’ve been meaning to post it, better late than never. The good thing is, this is probably a new artist to most of you (he’s fairly new to me too) so you probably weren’t chomping at the bit for it. Check out the song suggestions and download after the jump.
