"Fiesta" is one of Sicko Mobb's most popular tracks—it's racked up more than 250,000 plays on SoundCloud since March, and it's closing in on 1.5 million views on YouTube since May. It's also one of many great tracks Ceno and Trav have released since they started Sicko Mobb a little less than a year ago. Super Saiyan has some other great tracks they've dropped in the preceding months—there's "Maserati," which features Lil Durk, and "Bitches N Bikinis," which includes a drop from Twista—which make the mixtape appear to be a bit like a "best of" collection for a group that hasn't even dropped a proper album. Sicko Mobb also pull a proper mixtape move by putting their own spin on tracks by other rappers, and in this case they jump on Stunt Taylor's "1 Nite" and do their version of Chief Keef's elegiac "Citgo." One key track that is missing is the infectious "Young Heavy," though I imagine they might be saving that one for their studio debut; Fake Shore Drive's Andrew Barber reported last week that the group signed with Sony/ATV.
Even without "Young Heavy" Super Saiyan is, among other things, a great way to kick off a new year of Chicago hip-hop, even if it came out in 2013. Stream it below:
