Freeload: Stat Quo, “Let The Beat Build” Freestyle
- story THE FADER
Pretty much all Stat Quo has ever done is let the beat build on every song he’s ever rapped on. His rap style is always deceptive, sounding like he could be freestyling all his verses, getting more and more excited the longer he rapped, until the actual song ends and you can’t remember anything he said in the past couple minutes. Last we heard, his album was scheduled to drop around this time last year, and in anticipation he even dropped his Now Or Never mixtape. We’re shaking Magic Eightballs and lighting incense around the office Dre shrine (now including two pictures of Bishop Lamont) in hopes that it’s not never.

Freeload: Stat Quo f. B.O.B., “Double Bubble”
- story THE FADER
Sometime last year we heard Stat Quo’s ghost album Statlanta and were like, yes. Dr. Dre produced a lot of the tracks so it bangs, not to mention the fact that Stat is just a really funny dude. But then Statlanta remained a legend, giving way to another side of ATL, the onomatopaeic rollerskate joints that dominated our lives and hearts and minds. HOWEVER…could this summer be the summer of Statlanta? We know we keep talking about summer because we are so excited for it, but when you hear this track, you’ll know what we mean. It even features B.O.B. doing the hook, and he sounds like a member of the Harvard vocal choir. B.O.B. has been one of our faves since he Myspaced us in like January 2006 (seriously! he is on his INTERGRIND!), and we saw him at the FADER Fort in Austin a couple weeks ago getting his fan-man on to Swedish soon-to-be-pop-megastar Lykke Li. Which means he has good taste, too.
