Cub-J – The Trip Tape
Chicago rapper Cub-J and producer Rub N’ Alc are back with a new project, The Trip Tape. This one is the next multi-song release since last year’s featured Love Abuse.

Some of my favorite are Midas, Bop-It Extreme, Spliff Or A Chong, and This Whole Time. Check it out for yourself and enjoy!

In its entirety, I feel it to serve us a story for every form of love, touching on a bit of everything while dwelling on the the common romantic idea the word “love” prompts. This is a creative…
