Up

features Sweetie, Tantrum, A-Roton, Kage & Goldielox. Start Time: 2:29 AM | End
Time: 2:52 AM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything
after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening
to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your
vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’
topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“Krescent City”
Wit

nice fa tha “Krescent
City”… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit tha regular-soundin’ rhymes… Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse and tha not-badness continues… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it
ain’t bad, as well… “Marijuana get rolled;” already! Even has on “camouflage
drawers;” crazy! My Rating: 4.0

I like how this sounds like some chillout/ambient music; great scratchin’! Nice

“Connect The Dots”
>>> Quiet lil’ plain beat, here; not bad… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice… Rhymes are good, even tho this just decent, overall… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ okay and I’m likin’ how they mention, “Too many rappers on tha line.” It’s like, look where we’re at 20 years later! Like, what has our world come to??? My Rating: 3.9

“Block Banger”
>>> Still comin’ through wit tha decent production, even tho this beat sounds tha most undaground/best outta tha five productions, so far… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’m diggin’ this gangsta-soundin’ track; dope shit! Anotha dude, here, on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit consistent rhymes! Keep ‘em spittin’! Tha 3rd verse keepin’ it real, “Like a Russian roulette!” My Rating: 4.2

“Action Speaks (Louder Than Words)”
>>> Anotha plain-soundin’ production but still nice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha rappin’ good; decent lil’ track… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ like a true, good lil’ message… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and this dude stayin’ motivated wit these rhymes; nice! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ good, as well… My Rating: 3.8

“Tormented”
>>> Endin’ it wit a catchy intro, here; consistent rappin’ ta kick it off!! Tha hook’s nice, tha beat’s pretty dope for an undaground/semi-plain beat & tha rhymes are on lock, here! Could be close to tha top-rated track on here? Good shit tha whole way, here! That final verse pretty consistent, tho! My Rating: 4.1

Overall: Dug tha undaground
production, even tho most of tha beats sounded a lil’ plain, with not much
goin’ on… Tha rappin’ was good, but tha tracks ain’t spark me like crazy…
Either way, nice lil’ compilation!
