This journey into a troubled world includes production from top 414 names: DSCRIBE, Blax, and 40Mil. There are also a few guest appearances on the project as well from the likes of: Hektik, kEwii, Mic Crawf, Meccah Maloh, Rich P, and Blax. That is quite the roster of names right there. Settle in for the ride and continue reading after the break.
Back like it’s the first time, Bizal McLoud has dropped his anticipated mixtape The Loud House. This project features the likes of: Trunk Bussa, Benji, Mudda Moe, Big Wavy, Inferno, Chickey, Hektik, Awol, and Tiphanie. Also, this mixtape is on Highrize Inc/Loud Interests Dis., and may I say it’s Bizal’s best work. I don’t know what’s different or what changed, but McLoud came with it.
