Review #1,708: A.R. "Lit Wavy"

Reviewed on 4.24.2017 (Review #1,708)

Time for anotha review. I’m tryin’ to get some current Louisiana CD reviewz outta tha way… A few of these next ones came from tha near-end of last year and I just got them last month… Here goes my review for A.R. Lit Wavy, released on Str8 Up Entertainment & In Your Earhole Productions… Start Time: 8:59 AM | End Time: 9:40 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!

01. “Lit Wavy”

A C Dot James production, here… >>> Can tell exactly that this came from that night I was at tha Hookah Lounge, meetin’ up wit A.R.; definitely nice! Gotta love tha darker-soundin’ beat and this “lit”-soundin’ hook, ya dig? Also, comin’ through wit tha nice rhymes in tha 1^st verse! And, keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, doin’ ya thang, as always! My Rating: 4.5

02. “Go Public”

D. Jackson doin’ tha beat; glad he still around! >>> Sounds good, here; feelin’ how this sounds in tha beat… Hearin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1^st verse and it’s cool; nothin’ ta bitch about, of course… Tha hook sounds nice; gotta not “give a fuck how they feel,” ya dig? True…! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice; definitely lovin’ tha consistency! You have consistency in your rhymes, ya dig? Unstoppable! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Woah”

B Easy on this beat… >>> Still sounds unique to me, with how this sounds and how you come through on tha 1^st verse wit these rhymes… And, nice wit tha hook and how tha rest of this sounds… Only 31 seconds remaining and you still keepin’ tha rhymes goin’! My Rating: 4.0

04. “That’s On Ya Body”

D. Jackson hookin’ “ya” up wit anotha one; lookin’ forward ta hear…! I have a feelin’ it gon be hyped-up? >>> Yeah, this sounds like a nice lil’ vibe; definitely diggin’ it! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you holdin’ it down, here; good shit! Sounds like you love your life; I love mines, too, except tha drama at my job!! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice, too; you got this on lock, here! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, as well! You even made a reference to “Oochie Wally”, too; “that’s” A.R. for “ya!” My Rating: 4.3

05. “Ain’t My Business”

LTK on tha beat… >>> Sounds nice wit this beat; you got tha interestin’ production on lock, here! See, I call this ‘Baton Rouge music,’ regardless! It don’t have to be about poppin’ pillz; it just has to have that sound to it! Nice job wit how you comin’ through on tha hook, here; you know what you doin’! Tha 1^st verse’s pretty nice and what you comin’ through with! Always ‘bout dat consistency! Love how I looked back on my blog to see how active you were throughout tha years… Every single year since 2007, you ain’t stop!! I checked somethin’ out of yours each year since 2008! 2016, I ain’t have anything but this CD’s from 2016, so that counts! My Rating: 4.2

06. “Fifty-Thousand”

Secret On Tha Track; wonder how long he can keep a “Secret,” lol? >>> Sounds like a good way to celebrate tha celebrity status? “My level fifty-thousand;” definitely! A smooth, more-laidback beat, here, but still cool… Definitely feelin’ tha 1^st verse wit tha “64 Nintendo” shit, when it comes to tha “ol’ skool;” good shit! Definitely feelin’ what you bringin’ to tha table; gotta love tha rhymes! I have to say, there were times where I thought you were just decent and some tracks were ehh/not for me. However, I’m six tracks in and even on this slower shit, I still feel impressed to where it’s definitely poppin’, ya dig? My Rating: 4.1

½time: Definitely impressed, prolly more than tha past! A 4.2-rated CD for tha ½time; that’s dope!! Keep up tha consistent rhymes and err-thang you bringin’ to tha table, here!! Lemme look back at all tha previous ½times you had with me:

Tree-House (The Mixtape), back on 3.25.2011: 3.9

A+B+C = Da Formula (Hosted by DJ Chilly Chill), back on 6.05.2011: 4.4

I expected Da Formula one to be tha best but yeah, for a solo project, 4.2’s awesome!

07. “Do You & Good Luck”

Anotha beat from D, here! >>> Sounds good; feelin’ how you deliverin’ these rhymes on tha 1^st verse! It’s almost like there’s infinity life in you, here! YB’s Don’t Die Wondering may’ve been tha 1^st hard copy CD I got while I was in Louisiana, but your CD’s tha 1^st one I got that I neva heard! Glad I paid you $5.00 for it; had to have it and you had to have my money, ya dig? Good hook, too; definitely feelin’ tha hype! Love how you comin’ through on tha 2^nd verse, here; consistent shit, here! “Light shinin’ bright, techno;” dope shit! My Rating: 4.4

08. “Flex Flow”

D. Jackson on this one, too! >>> An interestin’ slow track, here; definitely feelin’ tha hook! Love how you deliverin’ tha 1^st verse; you sound hiiiiiiiiigh or drunnnnnnnnnnnk here!! Love it!!! Now, tha regular voice of you and it sounds dope, too, wit what ya bringin’… Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice, too; good shit wit what you continuin’ to bring! My Rating: 4.5

09. “Redicoulus”

Interestin’ spellin’, here, with Secret On Tha Track on tha beat… >>> Sounds nice wit this laidback vibe, too; good hook, bro… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds nice wit how you comin’ through wit this night out… Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2^nd verse, too, keepin’ it movin’ wit this bitch… My Rating: 3.7

10. “Super Thugg’n”

D. Jackson doin’ this one, too; what can I expect? >>> Really smooth start, here; let’s see what’s good… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s anotha one dedicated to tha ladies… I’ono why, but I almost thought this was gon sound like a struggle from bein’ a young’n or somethin’… Tha hook ain’t too bad, here, as you’re continuin’ ta make this happen… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice, too; gotta respect it! I love how this sounds like it can have my back from my anxiety/bad vibes from my job! My Rating: 3.8

11. “Wannh”

Ooh @ tha title, produced by D. Jackson! >>> Sounds nice fa tha rhymes on tha 1^st verse and how this beat sounds… Oh, a mix-up on tha CD, here? Tha back cover says that “Wannh”’s #08 & “Flex Flow”’s #11? This one sounds like that “Wannh”! Glad I caught that! I was gonna say, I almost thought when I heard #08, I was waitin’ for tha “wannh!” And yeah, I believe you performed this, too; I know you love tha “wannh!” When I do that to my co-workers, I wonder what they think, lol? Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty nice and consistent, too; gotta love ya! My Rating: 4.4

12. “Wake Up”

D. Jackson! >>> I was gonna say, I know I recognize this from my documentary I just put out/that night at tha club! And yeah, I remember this from tha Tree-House mixtape, right? I even remembered tha rating I gave it six years ago; crazy!! Not to mention, I reviewed it exactly six-years-and-one-day before I met you, lol! But yeah, tha review online still… My Current Rating: 4.1

13. “Who Got Shot?”
Endin’ with a D. Jackson beat, here… >>> Gotta luv that it reminds me of that night at tha club! Really feelin’ D’s beat, here! Tha 1^st verse’s real tight wit your consistency, here! Tha hook’s definitely tha truth! Yeah, it sux wit what we’re dealin’ with! I had thought it had been quiet for a lil’ while and now, since I went down there, I heard about two shootings: King Joe, on April 4^th & now, just Saturday, while I was goin’ through fuckin’ shit at my job, Zoe Realla, smh! I think I really lost it on Saturday; too much bullshit! But yeah, we all gotta be in this together! That’s why, I be comin’ down now to make peace wit err-body & know how valuable y’all are to me! With that bein’ said, keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, of course! My Rating: 4.4

Overall: I feel bad that I ain’t get to review this two dayz ago… I was goin’ through shit at my job, I stayed later & then, my visit to my homeboy who’s locked up was switched. So, I needed sleep and I neva got in tha mood to peep this out till today. Now, I have to say, you did tha damn thang throughout tha whole thang! Definitely worth my $5.00 in person, ya dig? Gotta love your consistent rhymes and how your vibes in tha tracks make tha production come to life! That’s right! Undaground life that we must always enjoy, ya dig?! Glad I been “rockin’ wit [you] since [you] were a teenager!” October 16, 2008, tha 1^st time I heard ya! Beat Flippa’s Street Certified CD! You were 18 at tha time but we ain’t really connect till tha following year or so… Either way, now, I feel real glad I got to meet ya!!
