Editors’ Notes Ramirez may not quite be a classicist, but he certainly knows the classics. That’s why The Grey Gorilla is filled with slick tributes to rap history, whether it’s the soul samples on “40z and Shorties” or the Three 6 Mafia-style horror strings on “Grey Tee.” “Ugk (Under Ground Kings)” honors its titular duo as Ramirez trades hard, fast verses with Nell, while “The New Jim Jones” cleverly leaves it unclear whether he's nodding to the Dipset MC or the cult leader of the same name.
