A-F-R-O x Stu Bangas – The Bad And The Ugly LP (PREORDER April)

A protégé of R.A. the Rugged Man, A-F-R-O is a self-confessed movie nerd. And if his action movie poster-inspired album covers are any indication, so is Stu Bangas. This union of emcee and producer has spawned “The Bad and The Ugly”. Though excising the word “good” from both its Clint Eastwood-homage title and album cover, that elimination didn’t affect the quality of this ten-track project. One thing the album immediately earns points for is its lack of interludes/skits or some short and dramatic intro track. Instead, A-F-R-O and Stu Bangas hit the ground running.
