Mixtape: Protoman's Accomplishments Are Numerous
The ability to present personal ups and downs and connect with listeners in an intimate manner is a trait underappreciated in hip-hop. For the past couple of years, Beville has continued to do just that. He's improved this skill while at the same time delivering some of the sharpest
content with such songs as "Message in an Rx Bottle" and mixtape Sincere Vandal, released last
year after body-bagging various industry beats that lead up to the mixtape's
release.
After remaining close-mouthed for the first half of 2012, Beville has
picked up some much-needed steam in the second part of the year. The rapper has released three
singles, "All 4 It," "Numb," and "Fire in Cairo," and displayed his totally solid abilities on
stage as opening act for Ski Beatz at Green Room. Let's just hope he
continues to roll on.
