Bossman Casino Returns by Abesi Manyando
Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper is finally about to drop his highly anticipated album, “Disrespectful.” Last week Casino dropped his single featuring 21 Savage and the blogs went wild. He was trending. Everyone is now anxiously waiting for Bossman Casino’s new EP and from the looks of things 2018 may just belong to the CEO and the United States of Freebandz as Zoey Dollaz, Young Scooter and Metro Boomin continue to make an imprint in 2018.
Casino is a special kind of artist. If you took the genes of Eminem, Tupac and Biggie to create a rapper who embodies various elements of all three artists you would get Casino. In essence, Tupac’s charisma and story telling ability mixed with Biggie’s comedic and clever humor added with Eminem’s over the top animated flow and personality is our best description of your soon to be favorite rapper Casino. We wanted to give you an interlude before Casino’s upcoming interview this week. Enjoy.

“Watch Casino I’m the hip hop version of Nicky Tarantino” -Biggie
As the CEO of Freebandz, Casino has evolved in the shadows of his brother, Future who seems to be owning hip hop merely based on the potency of how influential he is to the art-form. When everyone is switching up the blueprint of their flow to mimic your sound that’s how you know you’ve got equity in hip hop versus liquid assets rhymes that no one remembers in a couple of months. So award nominations or not the future of hip hop potentially lies in the hands of Freebandz and Casino is the kind of rapper we’ve all been waiting for.
There is something about Casino that attracts everybody. His fan base demographic is a mixture of cultures, races, and age groups Casino is lyrical, musical and entertaining all in one. His animated personality and adlibs is what the game has been missing. You know that’s what Eminem and Biggie brought to the game. Lyrics and one-liners that made you really laugh. In this dark political and social climate that we’ve been under since we said goodbye to President Obama, we deserve a little light and a little humor to get us through the day and Casino’s songs accomplish this. But don’t get it twisted or let the humor fool you. This is still Casino from Kirkwood better known as Lil Mexico for good reason…army fatigue bring fatigue to enemies Kirkwood you know? So Laugh now cry later cause you’re gonna’ need a bulletproof soul to get through Casino’s EP. The complexity within his records are encompassed in the reality that he’ll have you laughing on one verse and shook on the next with lyrics puncturing through your arteries too deep to recuperate from. The diversity of his body of work is ingrained in the fact that Casino has bars, stories, melodies and comedy. Even as his EP is still in the works its evident that Casino’s album could potentially be everything we’ve been missing in hip hop. From hardcore raps to trap, and even an Afro Beats/ Caribbean record that will have everyone from Jamaica to Africa on the dance floor Casino has it all. Now we just have to wait for him to deliver the goods and give us the interviews you all crave for. – Abesi Manyando @abesipr
