Although the Floridian rap crew, The BenchWarmers Clique, allude to their second-string situation riding the pine, we will have to disagree with them on that self-assessed disposition. I guess it depends what team they're playing for, but if they were playing on the side of good hip-hop, warming the bench would not happen with this crew because they would be on the starting 5. The Ugly is their external, self-depreciating new ten-track project that showcases the crew's knack for channeling the simplicity of golden-age hip-hop production with grimey, no-filter raps. And so if you're still stuck in 1999, or just love to revisit that "real" hip-hop, The Ugly is going to be right up your alley. To be sure, you can hear our highlights below, or head on over to Bandcamp to download the rest of the works for free.
