WHO IS HOT IN 845 "Big Bad Baragon"

Hey what's up people, sorry it's been awhile since we got together, but were back, and we have a whole lot of new music and artist to talk about. Today we received a mixtape in our inbox from one of Upstate NY's up and coming unsigned artist, the Big Bad Baragon. Now, I must admit, I've only heard bit's and pieces of some of his freestyles, and did catch the young artist when he was on BET's 106 and Park Freestyle Friday segment a while back, but that was the extent of my interaction with him and his music. We are facebook friends so we have on occasion shot the shit on what we think of today's artist and their music, and both agree there is a huge void in the hip hop game right now. We reached to Big Bad Baragon for our "Who's Hot In The 845" as he debuts his first mixtape "Another Man's Treasure" Which by the way should have the streets taking notice.
