Ghettosocks - For You Pretty Things [Album]

Halifax, NS - Nerdcore rapper, Ghettosocks, has proven once again why he's one of the most clever emcees in Canada.  In my opinion, For You Pretty Things is his best work yet.  The vast majority of the tracks on the album are playful and lighthearted, but some are more serious, introspective selections such as "Understanding."  His latest release features some of Canada's finest rappers/producers such as Muneshine, Moka Only, WOLVES, Timbuktu, Fresh Kils, The Extremities and many more.  It also features an array of international legends including The Herbaliser, Sadat X and El Da Sensei.  If you enjoyed Ghettosocks' previous albums you will definitely appreciate For You Pretty Things.  Click the link below to download and stream the album.
