Grinding to make a name for yourself by releasing a mixtape shows one a noble level of dedication but delivering an actual album to the people proves you’re really in it to win it. Such as the case of the Chicago young’n A.J. Crew as he sucks you into his R.E.M. mode with his debut Nightmares & Daydreams. As DJ RTC puts it:
A.J. Crew presents his proper introduction with Nightmares & Daydreams, recorded over 10 months at Chicago’s SoundScape Studios with executive producer, Michael Kolar. The free album features 12 original tracks and includes guest appearances from Kris Bills, Hypnotic, and Rhymefest.
