YC The Cynic - Rude Boy Jamaican

I downloaded the New York Renaissance mixtape a week or two ago, and first off, it's free.  Secondly, it's rife with underground rap from my second favourite state, with bits and pieces from the likes of Action Bronson, Joey Bada$$...and someone who's new to me.  YC The Cynic is a young man from the Bronx who has created something along the lines of sophisticated with "Rude Boy Jamaican."  It's nothing over-the-top, minimal if you have to call it something, but it listens to very nicely.  This is the kind of rap that doesn't get you with flashy videos and girls in metallic bikinis.  YC lets the words speak for themselves, with some help from an old Eek A Mouse song sampled in the chorus.  It's not easy to keep that original reggae flavor in a modern rap song, but YC does it...and does it well.
