When you can pick up on the warmth and humour of an artist in just a few verses then they have something special. Mystro has an instantly likeable personality, as is evident on this track, spitting simple but cleverly written verses about his neighborhood over a simple beat.

That’s the spirit of 'Around My Way' goes in a nutshell, a straight to the point sentiment from a rapper with a clear love of Hip-Hop. There’s no need for over the top Hollywood production or astounding verbal dexterity. The video that goes with this tracks is also well worth checking out too.
