A week ago, Lil B pulled a 2Pac and got his nose pierced. Of all the face work dude could get done, a schnoz hoop is thankfully a conservative route for the boss: provocatively feminine, Makaveli homage (what's up NPR, hey Noz). It's left field but still on the field, his goon grin thankfully uninterrupted by a face tat. But that's just the hook to this post, the real magic is below. Clams Casino, the producer behind "I'm God" and umpteen other based classics, released an instrumental mixtape of tracks he's done for Lil B, Soulja Boy, Main Attrakionz and Squadda B. Listening through, if it wasn't already apparent to the true nerds, this tape is a testament to Clams' sonic guidance of young melancholy rap these past two years, fuzzy and crisp at the same time, whining and growling and totally his own. Tracklist after the jump, it's kinda staggering.
