Leon Bridges‘ imbeccable soul just amped up with some crucial Houston-themed hip-hop vibes courtesy of MICK, one half of the excellent Summertime mixtape series (among many other credits). He brings along Bun B and Slim Thug for the ride, injecting a little grit and boom-bap into Bridges’ uber-slick aesthetic.

“Leon Bridges is, to me, the most talented new artist in music,” says the DJ/producer. “I’ve heard so many comparisons: The next Sam Cooke, the next this, the next that. However, I couldn’t help but wonder how a kid in his 20’s would sound if his inspiration was threaded through the classic Texas hip hop he grew up on. This project answers that. I combined Leon’s soulful vocals with the samples and vibes of my favorite Texas hip-hop artists, including DJ Screw, UGK, and Scarface.”

The result is real good (there’s even an “Int’l Players Anthem” sample!)—listen below, download here, and maybe grab some BBQ while you’re at it. Texas sounds fantastic:
