Sometimes, you just need some stone cold player shit. With Snoop Dogg off making pop songs and generally abandoning the fine art of pimpin’ on wax, the door lies open for a player to ride in on his trusty steed–a sky blue ’76 Cadillac DeVille, of course–and save the day. Enter 19-year-old Cali native 100s, whose Ice Cold Perm album comes complete with Doggfather inspired artwork, a bevy of recent and classic West Coast sounds, and an appearance by much buzzed about producer of the moment Ryan Hemsworth. The end result sounds fresh and polished, a solid combination of old inspiration and new energy. Check out opener “My Activator” and “Slow Drip” below, and all of Ice Cold Perm here (unfortunately, you’ve gotta pay the cost to be the boss, but $5 is hardly a steep asking price you can download it for free here as well, or support the man and throw down $5).
