39. Casey Veggies - Sleeping in Class

There is a new breed of west coast rappers and producers who are completely different from other hip-hop artists out there now. If you wear snap-back caps, vans or supreme t-shirts and say the word 'Swag' a lot then I'm sure you've been familiar with Casey Veggies for a while, for the rest of us, Casey is just getting his first taste of mainstream success. 

'Sleeping in Class' is an appropriate title as he reportedly recorded this album over a period of nights and then attended high school throughout the day. The lyrics don't really venture too far from comfortable subjects such as  girls, money and of course, swag. I'm not too sure who handles the production duties but the beats are nicely chilled out (It wouldn't be too hard to imagine J Dilla era Common rapping on some of these beats) and perfectly match Casey's laid back delivery. This is a strong debut album from an MC who has boundless potential.

Swag.

Until tomorrow.....
