[Mixtape] Rajeev’s 80 Proof Memories presented by SMKA & LiveMixtapes

SMKA — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:43:34 +0000

Rajeev’s 80 Proof Memories, presented by SMKA, is essentially the prequel to Bachelor Shit, hosted by Don Cannon. The project features Shawn Chrys and Jus Nice, and includes production from SMKA, Cardo, Super Miles, Big Jerm and more.

“Before I was flying all over the world in the air force, sleeping with chicks, doing shows, skating with the homies, and enjoying life in general… I was in Texas and Florida doing the same thing, on a smaller, not as grand scale,” says Rajeev. Rajeev is a story teller who reflects on his past experiences in his music. 80 Proof Memories is a project that contains very personal stories that had a major impact on his life. Rajeev states, “while this is the darker prequel to Bachelor Shit, this project is definitely a trunk-beating soundtrack to good times and prosperous situations with those sexy chicks you’ve had your eyes on all night.”
