Rockie Fresh Goes "Sour" On New Single

By Jon Graef in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 29, 2011 7:20PM

As a special treat while he works on his The Otherside Redux mixtape, rising Chicago rapper Rockie Fresh released a new song, "Sour," through his Twitter page late Tuesday afternoon.

The track, produced by The Gift from production duo The Cartoonz, features Fresh's steady, staccato flow, whirring synths, and rock-steady beats. The production touches bounce especially nicely off of Fresh's raps, creating an ice-cold track in the process. The Otherside Redux won't see computer screens until July 27th, so "Sour" is as fresh is as Fresh gets until then. Sample the track below then download here for the price of an email.

While you're at it, watch the video for The Otherside's "Sofa King Cole" (I know, I know), released last month, below. Check out past Rockie Fresh linkage here.
