Neak is a Chicago rapper, not to be confused with LVL rapper Neako. Neak’s 5th project ‘XIII’ is to serve as a precursor for his album ‘Paura/Amore’ due out in the Spring of this year. It’s crazy to think a full album is a precursor. The concept leads me to believe Neak is on somewhat of a prolific tip. ‘XIII’ being seventeen tracks in length holds so many genres, all put on quite fluidly by Neak. I went in expecting lot’s of new Trap (which there is some of), but when early 90’s esq. sample beats were followed by Latin Jazz type’s like A.M.N.R. I was sold on his versatility. Hip Hop heads will be pleasantly surprised in the variety offered with this album.
‘XIII’ saw it’s own release party on the 24 of Jan. Peep game the video for the amount of live instruments present.
