Poison Pen - Pick Your Poison

Fat Boy P, as he self-glossed himself, finally drops some new material on his loyal legion of drunk bastards. Fans of his Foreward series won't be disappointed here, as there are plenty of rowdy moshpit-starters like the "Cross My Path" remix with Heltah Skeltah, Nems and Illa Noyz. DJ Static earns his case on the grimy "Staircase." Immortal Technique earns his stripes as a weirdo when he threatens to fuck your girl "with the chopped off head of a puppy" on "Stronghold Movement." After listening to this mixtape, two things are certain: 1) Keep Immortal Technique away from animal shelters and 2) Grab a fifth and cool out to this music. As a disclaimer, some fans may be disappointed to find Pen has no crack or gun raps. Hopefully that will be on his album, The Money Shot, coming soon.
