Musical evolution is the product of persistence and a vision behind a dream and when it comes to SonReal's new material you can expect his music to have progressed to a whole new level. The mixtape totals 18 tracks but is lead by 9 new original songs that really showcase the direction SonReal is taking his music with some great production help from 2oolman, Vokab Beats, Lokeynote, Think, Rich Kidd, Chanes, and Philthy. The 9 other tracks feature SonReal over some well known instrumentals. The Lightyear mixtape will go down as SonReal's staple that will secure him as one Canada's best up and coming artists. Tracks like Already There, Mr. Nothing, Here We Are, I Tried, Whirl Pool, Victim Teen, and To The Stars all best exemplify SonReal at his best. This mixtape has layed the groundwork for SonReal to gain some serious attention. The Lightyear Mixtape is dropping for FREE on July 2nd, so when you're hung over from Canada Day festivities hit up his bandcamp page and download this must have mixtape.
