‘This is something I wanted to give back,’ rapper tells Mixtape Daily about Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music). By Jayson Rodriguez Stalley Photo: Jan Ferrer Main Pick Street King : Stalley Holding It Down For : Massillon, OH Mixtape : Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music) Real Spit : Stalley is a hometown hero. He might have moved out of his home state of Ohio, first by taking a scholarship to play hoops at the University of Michigan then later at Long Island University. But his heart never left Massillon, a blue-collar town bred on basketball and football dreams. For his latest project, Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music), he recruited a fellow Ohioan, producer Rashad, and the two created the soundtrack to Massillon’s night life. “It’s paying homage to my hometown, and in my hometown there’s a street called Lincoln Way that everyone cruises on Friday and Saturday nights, showing off the cars, whether it’s an old muscle car or a new-school paint-up car with a loud system. This is something I wanted to give back, as far as a music project, for that strip. Something that people can actually ride out to or be that soundtrack to that journey.” Start it up.
