The Hiram Clarke Hustler
OS-001 Around 2005, while Viper was studying for his master's degree in business, he supposedly set himself a task of composing 1000 beats in three months. It is unknown whether he achieved this goal, but this experiment yielded material that was worked into his early releases throughout the 2000s, the last of which being "The Hiram Clarke Hustler", his seventh album. "The Hiram Clarke Hustler" was originally released in the middle of 2009. A melancholy release, it features some of Viper's now best known tracks, "You Wanna See Me Dead Cause Of My Hops" and "Hey, Maybe One Day You'll See Me Again". A homecooked cloud rap masterpiece with many twists and turns, including Viper rapping as his own clique, "The Hiram Clarke Hustler" serves as a farewell to Viper's early period. His next album, "These Rappers Claim They Hard When Them Fags Never Even Seen the Pen" saw him abandon his signature hazy style for a more energetic take on cloud rap. Originally released June 19, 2009.
