Goone - Grapefruit Starship

Disregard the unique title, Goone means serious business. I had heard about Goone through a friend of mine, and heard his collaboration "Just a Dream" featuring Kam Royal. (Both of which, are opening for Machine Gun Kelly at University of Missouri this weekend) When his mixtape Grapefruit Starship had been released, I had enjoyed "Just a Dream" so much originally, that I figured that I would give this mixtape a chance. And I was simply blown away.

What even makes this tape more unique, is the track-list is a story:

Grapefruit Starship takes you through the journey of Goone’s world.  After falling in love, Goone’s heart is torn apart by the very woman that captured it.  He is sent into a hypnotic whirldwind of drinking, smoking, and partying, working to drown his past.  Amidst his psychedelic spiral, Goone winds up stumbling into a vision of his future; a prophecy that pulls him back onto his feet and into a world he never could have dreamed.  On a path elevated to new and unimaginable heights, Goone prepares for the unstoppable ride that lies ahead. This is Grapefruit Starship.


This tape features many other up-and-coming artists as well including Kam Royal, Drew32, Loggy & Mike Stud. Also on a couple of tracks he gets great contrasting tones on his choruses from Titus Ramiz & Lauren Vogel. His beats are crazy dope, and his lyrics are strong, but still very clever. This is a must download. Download the whole thing for free at Datpiff. Here's the player for the preview:
