The reigning champion of funny, lyrical NY street rap has to be A-Mafia. He just released "Realest Nigga in My City," a track that on the production end could have been released at any point in the past fifteen years, but from a rapping standpoint sounds completely modern. It draws on NY history, but isn't overcome by it. In addition to this new track, A-Mafia also released a video for "Star Wars," a track from his excellent 2011 album What the Streets Made Me. Watch it here.
