Mac & Cheese: Best of Mixtape French MontanaThe mixtape is an artist’s playground. Whether they’re finding their sound on the come-up, or an established artist looking to unwind and kick some unfocused rhymes over a pack of hot beats, the mixtape is a hip-hop staple. With that, Audiomack has put together a specially curated playlist of the best tracks from New York rapper French Montana’s mixtape days so you can throw back or get familiar with the emcee. French thrives off his natural grit and storytelling. There’s an attractive graininess and depth to his coke raps that ensures they never get old. “88 Coupes” and “Coke Wave” feature grimy bars and even grimier production, reminding fans that Clipse aren’t the only ones who can take coke raps to the next astral plane. With features from Jadakiss, Mac Miller, Rick Ross, and more, this playlist showcases the best French Montana has to offer as an artist.
