Black Spade “Build and Destroy”

I’ve been seriously addicted to this mixtape for the past couple months. Personal Highlights are “Breakthrough”, “Untitled”, and “Fall in Love”, though there’s much more worth listening to. He passed me and Approach the rough versioni of this tape when we were in St. Louis on the Aloe Park Tour. Special shouts to Approah for getting Spade on our Aloe Park record as well. Hit the jump for a free download link and the tracklisting. Great for the end of summer. Enjoy.
