Mixtape Cover

Today’s new mixtape comes from Blu Rok rapper Vindon and who would’ve thought he’d be interested in Greek Mythology. Titled “DemiGod“, this is 12 tracks of some long awaited music from the Jamaican rapper. With subject lines ranging from motivation music to weed songs, girl song and crew raps, he aims to cover all bases with this release. Featuring production from SOS Dynamikz and features from Eon Smith, Hard Dayz, Dinho and others, Vindon made sure made enough material for ample listen. While you may not find references to Greek Gods and a few may notice he’s inspired by a few popular acts, I believe you should give him a try If you’ve never heard any of his previous efforts.
