I was going to try and get all the way through this tape before I sat down to review it, but I could not even make it to track 10 before I felt the urge to get this name out there. Cambatta comes to us by way of New Haven, CT, and after high school he moved to Tampa, FL to start a new life. Smoke N Mirrors is most certainly a direct result of that move.
First of all the production is crazy, and every track brings a new mood into the mix. Cambatta is definitely a lyricist, it doesn’t take long until you realize just how visionary of a vocabulary this hip hop artist has. His rhymes are a slap in the face to all of us who have been jaded by what has been passed off as hip hop recently in the music world. This artist has already made a name for himself in the underground hip-hop scene of Florida, and with this mixtape, it might be the world who gets swept by Cambatta’s storm of heart and soul in the form of music. I pity the fools who stand in this mans way. Check out the mixtape below!
