It would be a damn shame if Chicago’s Rodie doesn’t get due respect for his new Stressin’ Adolescent Mixtape. I cannot stress (pun unintended) how essential of a listen this is for true hip-hop heads. The well-rounded and meticulously crafted tape is easily one of my favorites of the year and has the potential to change…
