Editor's review
The Houston rapper has long been an industry anomaly: a fiercely indie guy utterly at ease with the mainstreamers. An acidly funny sense of flow will help make that happen, and the chillaxed rhymes and mellow templates continue on Devin's new, post-Rap-A-Lot material.
Biography
Houston MC Devin the Dude is set to release his newest project, Smoke Sessions vol. 1, through BCD Music Group Inc. The mixtape will be the first installment of a series of Smoke Sessions volumes to be released this year by Devin and his longtime collaborators Coughee Brothaz and is scheduled to hit stores on April 1st.
Smoke Sessions vol. 1 is Devin’s first release since leaving Rap-A-Lot Records, his label of 14 years, earlier this month and also comes on the heels of his fourth solo album, Waiting to Inhale, released in March of 2007 to critical acclaim. In fact, Devin’s been called “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper” since making waves in the underground with a guest appearance on Scarface’s My Homies and releasing his first solo album The Dude both in 1998. His appearance on Dr. Dre’s “Fuck You” pushed him further into the mainstream and led to more collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, UGK, Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Nas, Lil Jon, The Roots, and more.
Smoke Sessions vol. 1 finds Devin teaming up with his Odd Squad crew and guest artists for 16 new tracks.
