Welcome to JFK
finds mixtape maven
Chinx
-- formerly
Chinx Drugz
-- at the beginning of a second career in the mainstream, but before the release of this album he was killed in a drive-by shooting. A tragic loss, and an artistic one as well since the autobiographical "Far Rock" proves the man behind the hardcore series of
Cocaine City
mixtapes can also deliver a relatable story and show some pathos. "Yay" is a hook-filled club anthem worth chanting, while "On Your Body" is smooth and silky R&B inspired by
the Weeknd
. A well-rounded effort with plenty of promise, the posthumous
is one bittersweet victory. ~ David Jeffries
