Bay Area rapper Issue (E-40's son!) has always been something of an enigma. First off, what's behind that mask? And what's with the tea obsession? (He's got answers: "I try to think of tea as wisdom. The more I drink, the wiser I will be. Tea is the second most [consumed] beverage in the world and I want to support it by making songs about it," he told Noisey in 2012.) On his new mixtape Azure Dreams, Issue has more answers, more questions, and most importantly, 31 new tracks full of cloudy, new age dream-rap. The sprawling tape features guest spots from Little Pain, Lofty 305, Kool A.D., and more; stream and download it below.
