LA UTI
''LA UTI'' is an EP by Tobacco. It was released through Anticon on November 9, 2010. It includes guest appearances from Antipop Consortium, Doseone, Rob Sonic, Serengeti, Height, Icicle Frog, and Zackey Force Funk. Critical reception Chris Martins of ''The A.V. Club'' gave the EP a grade of A−, saying: "The only bummer comes with the realization that more than half the backing tracks are reduxed from ''Maniac Meat'', but perhaps ''LA UTI'' is a bridge to something bigger." Larry Fitzmaurice of ''Pitchfork'' gave the EP a 6.5 out of 10, saying: "It seems like a lot of the guests here are trying to out-weird the material they're delivering over, which is precisely why Rob Sonic's appearance on 'Lick the Witch' works so well."
