As you’ll remember, Sir Michael Rocks‘ latest project, Banco, was supposed to drop on May 14th… that didn’t happen. As Sir Michael puts the final touches on the project, he’s dropping something else to bridge the gap, While You Wait. To get the ball rolling, we get the first track, “In A Minute,” which features Ab-Soul and Da$h with Larry Fisherman (aka Mac Miller) on the beat. Look for While You Wait to drop soon, with Banco to follow shortly after.

No days off for Sir Michael Rocks. A few months after dropping Lap of Lux 1.5, he’s already finna come through with his new EP, Banco. Today, he drops off his Choo Jackson produced track “Money Came,” that won’t be appearing on Banco. Straight braggadocio rap, but I’m not mad at this one. Banco will be out May 14th.

Lap of Lux comes shortly after Rocks’ signing to Curren$y’s Jet Life imprint early this year. The mixtape adopts an aesthetic that has been taken to its logical extreme by current crusaders like Rick Ross, among the many others before him. Rocks finds a comfortable, if decidedly less assertive, level of grandeur for his outing. It’s not as if Michael is shy; over a Mano production (one of the most bizarre beats I’ve heard in a while), he lets us know what he’s about on “The Best.”

Flosstradamous, Hit-Boy, and Inglish are also among the producers contributing to the effort. The set opens with “Now You Do,” a mesmerizingly slowed-down dancefloor jam that stands tough. You already knew a song with a name like ”Good Sushi” would bounce hard. Casey Veggies and Tris J eventually drop by for some more-entertaining-than-notable quotes on “The Clique.”

The tape is noticeably less informed by the old school than “I’m Mikey”-era Mikey, and stays grounded in the club tradition. “Gettin’ calls / gettin’ texts / gettin’ neck” is the game now. Inevitably, some listeners will prefer the MC of old, but Sir Michael is still young and havin’ fun. The only difference? He’s legal now.
