Artist: G.L.A.M.
\nMixtape: The Feel
\nReleased: January 22, 2014<\/p>\n

Reigning from the acclaimed Oakland region of San Francisco’s Bay Area, G.L.A.M.<\/strong> releases her third fully independent mixtape album, entitled “The Feel”<\/strong>. Well received for her authentic emcee appeal, G.L.A.M.<\/strong> (an acronym for Good Lyrics and Music) builds upon her rich musical ancestry (her father is Dangerous Dame, reknowned writer for Too Short; mami is platinum selling artist Nic Nac).<\/p>\n

The opening track of the mixtape, “Feel”<\/strong><\/em> introduces G.L.A.M.<\/strong> with the notion that she’s gonna “give ’em (listeners) something that they can feel,” later stating in “M0bb1n”<\/strong><\/em> that “If it ain’t bout that real it (doesn’t) concern us.”<\/strong><\/strong><\/em> Alright- so she’s my type. <\/p>\n

Conceptually, tracks like “ba$$”<\/strong><\/em>, “Roll Up”<\/strong><\/em>, and “M0bb1n”<\/strong><\/em> spark an interest from the title names alone, but G.L.A.M.’s<\/strong> self-produced beats cater to deep bass, a tight kickbeat, and a fierce flow that flaunts fresh style and flair, serving something much more: G.L.A.M.<\/strong> is a force emcee to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

“Roll Up”<\/strong><\/em> boasts smooth production deeply-rooted in classic hip hop samples with an original twist. G.L.A.M.’s<\/strong> beat selection, calculated rap rhythm, and sharp-shooting hooks attest to her emcee appeal as she say’s “rhythm is the hustle\/ melody is my language.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
