RIGZ- Wake Up’s Album REVIEW

First of all We would have to credit Griselda for repaving the lane for the emcees from Up North to really bring that grime energy back into hip hop. For a long minute, NY was chasing Atlanta and LA for acceptance and forgot their true identity. The success of Griselda opened up new doors for many acts to come into the lane and not only bring their prospective of street hop to the masses but reclaiming NY’s identity. Here enters “Da Cloth”

Da Cloth which consists of members Mooch, Rigz, Rob Gates , Time Change, Illanoise, Symph and Speed released their debut mixape in 2016 titled “The Fixtape” and later followed with BroadDay Kidnaps a year later. The Group would then release solo projects which were met with critical acclaim and elevated the Rochester’s NY’s group status quo.

Enter Rigz whom been putting in major work with the releases of “The Only Way Out ” and Substance Abuse” He really wanted to show why he’s the next up to take the ring on this project titled Wake Ups” The Opener Coconut Water along with Timbs, and Time’s Change put the masses on notice on what their crew is all about.

What makes Rigz standout is is ablity to craft his gift of gab and articulate it with vivid storytelling. Throw it Away is very introspective as well as thought-provoking which encourages people to waste your talents.

New York City is going through a new era renaissance and if Rigz along with Da Cloth can continue to release persistent projects such as this one, Their gonna be next up in line as the next ones alongside Griselda to be really making noise in the industry. Rigz also showcases more growth and know how to paint vivid pictures of street life that you can close your eyes and visualize. This album is definitely worth purchasing. Support the real!
