If you’re not familiar with Andre Nickatina’s young protege, MUMBLS, his new single “Parachute,” pulled from his forthcoming Hella Novellas mixtape, is a good place to start. The 22-year old Berkeley, California-bred rapper enjoys substance abuse almost as much as he enjoys the off-kilter story raps of Dana Dane and Ghostface Killah, and both of those influences shine through on “Parachute,” a tale of sex, drugs, and mayhem.
