Gotta give Sam tha Boogie Man credit for this discovery, because he popped up with a new t-shirt that said, "Keep It Tight." When I fed that into the YouTube matrix, Devin The Dude materialized with a killer underground hip hop/R&B cut flavored with a chopped and screwed sound straight outta Houston. Late of Rap-A-Lot Records, representing the Coughee Brothaz, a head who smoked weed for the first time at a roller rink in the seventh grade. And Devin liked it.
But there's no great video for Keep It Tight, although it's definitely a tight track. So another joint-worthy entry was unearthed, What I Be On, from Devin's sixth LP, Suite 420. Released on April 20, 2010.
Apparently, Devin has yet to blow up all the way live, although four of his last five albums since 2004 have edged into Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop top ten. That may change when his next studio album (One For The Road) drops next month, on 10/8/13.
