DESCRIPTION
Released on August 8, 2013, and presented by Maybach Music Group, "Honest Cowboy" is a standout mixtape in Stalley's discography that showcases his introspective lyricism and solid production values. Premiered on LiveMixtapes, this project finds Stalley exploring themes of identity, ambition, and the complexities of life through a blend of soulful beats and thoughtful narratives.

The mixtape begins with "Spaceships & Woodgrain," produced by DJ Quik and Cardo. This track sets a mellow tone with its smooth production and Stalley's contemplative lyrics, reflecting on his journey and the pursuit of dreams. "Swangin'," featuring Scarface and Joi Tiffany and produced by Block Beataz, follows as one of the highlights of the project, extending over six minutes of soul-infused hip-hop with a standout verse from Scarface that complements Stalley’s deep, thoughtful bars.

"Samson," produced by Rashad, continues the reflective theme with a harder edge, while "The Highest," featuring Crystal Torres and again produced by Block Beataz, brings a serene, almost spiritual quality to the mixtape, showcasing Stalley’s versatility as an artist.

"Cup Inside A Cup," produced by Black Diamond, shifts the mood with its darker, more introspective beat, diving deeper into Stalley's inner thoughts and personal challenges. "Feel The Bass," another Block Beataz production, reverberates with deep bass lines that underscore the lyrical depth Stalley brings to his exploration of life's vibrations.

"NineteenEighty7," featuring Schoolboy Q and produced by Terrace Martin, stands out as a particularly compelling track, with both rappers delivering powerful verses over a vibrant, jazzy beat that perfectly captures the nostalgic yet progressive essence of the song.

"Raise Your Weapons," yet another production by Block Beataz, is a call to arms of sorts, urging listeners to stand up for their beliefs and fight against societal injustices, highlighted by Stalley’s poignant and powerful lyrics.

"Long Way Down," featuring Crystal Torres and produced by Soundtrakk, offers a melodic respite, with introspective lyrics that ponder the highs and lows of life’s journey, complemented by Torres's soulful vocals.

"Gettin' By," produced by S1, is a testament to Stalley’s resilience, discussing the daily grind and his determination to succeed against all odds. The mixtape concludes with "A-Wax," a hidden track produced by Block Beataz that combines a haunting beat with reflective lyrics, serving as a fitting end to a deeply personal project.

"Honest Cowboy" is a mature, thoughtfully crafted mixtape that resonates with Stalley's lyrical depth and the soulful production. It solidifies his place within the hip-hop community as a storyteller who bridges the gap between introspection and relatable narratives, making this project a must-listen for those who appreciate nuanced, lyric-driven music.
