Erik Flowchild‘s long-awaited Delivery Boy mixtape still has yet to hit the ‘net (the artist’s waiting on a few guest features), but don’t let that fool you into thinking he’s been off his grind. In the meantime, the T-Dot native (and DJBooth.net Freestyle Series participant) has been hard at work on another street album, the relationship-themed Chixtape. The project’s first leak finds Flowchild addressing a female who can’t seem to decide whether she’s staying or going. Exasperated with her refusal to fight for their relationship, he throws up his hands in defeat: “Okay, you can have it your way.” GMF mirrors the emcee’s frustration on the production tip, crafting a synth-heavy beat featuring an unpredictable percussion rhythm and a few disorienting sound effects (did anyone else instinctively check to see if their phone was ringing when the chorus rolled around?). Those who like what they’re hearing can find more lyrically-astute reflections on love’s ups and downs on The Chixtape, set to hit the ‘net – you guessed it – February 14, Valentine’s Day.

Erik's flow (pun intended) is easy to listen to and his beat selection has always been an attribute of his music that made us want to hear more of his materials. I am looking forward to this mixtape, excuse me, Chixtape haha.

Some good lyrics but his flow was wack. This sounded like the lyrics were meant for another song and some how got put on this beat(which was boring). His flow kills the whole song from being dope(which is ironic because of his last name) and the hook was terrible as well.

I Dug it. The beat reminded me of a 90's adventure video game. I Also am looking forward to the Chixtape...

I'm not as down on this as HoamBoy, but I will agree that the flow and the hook doesn't seem to line up with the beat as tightly as it should. I'm definitely down for some more FlowChild tracks in the future, but this one's not selling me high on him.

The beat is not bad, actually I dig it more than Erik's average contribution to joint. Erik can do better, has done better stuff than this.
