JOHN Average - Doobie Snacks @JohnAverage [Mixtape]




About a year and a half in the making "Doobie Snacks" stands as the highly anticipated debut mixtape of 19 year old, up and coming Atlanta based MC JOHN.average. Far from what his name would infer Average paints a newer, more vivid picture of urban life in (and outside of) a city who in recent memory's musical and cultural influence could be chalked up to Fast Money, Strip Clubs, and Club Banging Industry Records. Navigating a plush soundscape characterized by nostalgic "Boom Bap" and Jazz oriented instrumentals, JOHN effortlessly tackles tough subjects ranging from his less than satisfactory financial situation, to trying to succeed in the fast paced Atlanta music industry, to even his mysterious affiliation with the late Pro.Era rhymeslinger Capital STEEZ. "I feel as though too many artist focus on making songs. Not making projects/mixtapes, but simply making songs. I knew with snacks I didn't want to create a collection of .mp3s, but a solid body of work, one that really got people thinking. So conceptually it worked out like each track is an individual snack and the entire tape is like a full course meal Nah'mean? Doobie Snacks, food for thought, right?" Featuring production from the notable likes of Bruce Leekix, MF DOOM, and Madlib, as well as in house favorites Sixty Wun and Glenn Gretzky, the project serves as a lengthy, yet undeniably memorable introduction to this Southern raised, #BeastCoast repping rhymeslinger
