I don't know what it is about
Johnny Astro, but I am huge fan of his sound. In case you don't know his name, Johnny Astro is a great artist out of Arlington TX, who I have been a fan of for a while now. I have dropped a couple of his tracks on the site before (
Someday and
All Yours), and they both got great feedback, so I figured it was only fair that I shared his great new project, LightYears The Mixtape. This is his first official mixtape, and it has been almost 2 years in the making, so it really is a labor of love.
Johnny Astro has a sound that is a little different from everyone else, which if you visit the site at all, you know I dig. He is smooth, his lyrical skills are fantastic, and he's just overall enjoyable to listen to. This is definitely a really cool mixtape that is a must download. Plus, for a couple of the tracks he samples artists like Civile Twilight and Coldplay, AND he also samples some quotes from Men In Black and Wedding Crashers, which is dope if you ask me. Enjoy it.
