College student, fraternity member and rapper Pacino has recently released a brand new mixtape that is the precursor to his upcoming album, "Beyond Compare."
The mixtape, called "Beyond Compare: Soon You'll Understand," features some songs that you could already be familiar with in "Want It All" and "Catch Feelings," as well as tracks that are previously unreleased.
Pacino, who is highly regarded by the Shepherd Express' Evan Rytlewski, shows you his chops on the new project and more than whets the appetite for a new album.
Pacino is also one of the performers booked for Hip-Hop Hates HIV/AIDS benefit concert at Cactus Club on Friday, Sept. 23.
The mixtape is available for free download here.

Though heavy on the hip-hop, Poppe writes about other genres of music and occasionally about food, culture or sports, and is always ready to show his pride in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
