Philly rapper GrandeMarshall caught a sweet break a few years back by landing on the West Coast boutique label Fool’s Gold, and it’s been a great home for him in the time since — reissuing his 800 mixtape, releasing his acclaimed followup project My Brother’s Keeper and now rolling out the new Risk/Reward. The eight-track EP is due out January 23rd, and can be pre-ordered here; to get a taste, listen to lead single “Stress,” a lowtempo groove that bubbles up as the jam progresses over four and a half minutes, with Grande’s charged and confident delivery providing a counterpoint to the nervous instrumentation. The jam might be about learning to confront with obstacles in your day-to-day, and based on his poise, Grande has learned well.

Listen to “Stress” below and catch GrandeMarshall live on Wednesday, January 25th when he headlines MilkBoy to celebrate the release of Risk/Reward. Joining him on the bill are We Want Drogas, Pauly Sue and Izzle Mane; more information on the 21+ show can be found at the XPN Concert Calendar.
