Come up! As a way of showing appreciation for all the support he’s received this year, Zuper just unleashed a free LP. ‘The Come Up‘ features 10 unreleased tracks all of which got that vibe we know and like. We’ve featured Zuper on our Viibes playlists previously and there’s a reason for that. It’s good music! The beats are mellow but…

Sex and drugs and dirty money. For this weeks Throwback Thursday we’re taking you back to the summer of 2009 when the eventual Shady Records posse dropped their first single for their debut group album.
