Rel is really the only rapper from Atlanta who has really been able to hold onto his street reputation and continue to make music that the streets feel. Since he left , Rel mixtapes usually drop regularly and the streets eat them up. Rel has a gritty style, incredile lyrics and he always seems to have stellar beatmakers behind him, whether they are known or unknown.

Rel's newest mixtape is titled "Back On My Rel Shit". This is actually the first new stuff from Rel in months, which is surprising because usually he's much more frequent with new material. This one has smokin new tracks like This is what made me, Come Back, Forgot about Me, The Real Is Back, Moving Slow, Young Millonaire,Can't Be Frineds No More and more. I have already listened to this twice and it is really good. The strongest material from Rel in a sec.
