I owe Stalley an apology. Why? Because his manager came to Potholes a year or two ago with his debut project, a mixtape of rhymes over classic Madlib instrumentals. I discounted the project as I thought the rhymes were mediocre, and I had little interest in hearing raps over Madlib’s instrumentals, which were instrumentals for a reason. But as time has passed, Stalley has teamed up with some of hip-hops best and he has become a premiere emcee in his own right. While Andrew has done the majority of reporting on his work on Potholes, I thought it was only right I paid my own respects to this rising star. “The Tune Up” will appear on Stalley’s upcoming project Lincoln Way Nights, which is dropping February 8.
