Stalley, "Petrin Hill Peonies"

I’ve been waiting to like Stalley — the crazily-bearded rapper from Massillon, Ohio, who Rick Ross signed to his Maybach Music Group last year — more than I have so far. Seems like a nice guy. But I’m not yet sold. Niether his voice, nor his rhymes, nor his flow strike me as particularly noteworthy. But this song has a great title, and a great beat, made by the Huntsville, North Carolina production duo The Block Beattaz from a sample of Charles Bradley’s “The World (Is Going Up in Flames),” and a highly enjoyable video to boot.
