Review #1,813: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 7"

Reviewed on 8.15.2019 (Review #1,813)

Got tha final installment fa DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 7, right nah—tha review, that iz! Just like Vol. 2, this one got removed from DatPiff, smh. However, it’s on SoundCloud, so I’m able ta listen/review it…! Start Time: 9:39 PM | End Time: 10:37 PM

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 (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. O.U. Bird “2 By 2”

Looks like we’re gonna start this off right! >>> Sounds good; was caught off-guard wit tha “we don’t shmoke 1, we shmoke 2.” Thought it was gon be 100% str8 pillhead shit but this sounds good. Toward tha end of tha hook, he goin’ “2 By 2,” as far as tha pillz go. Wit dat bein’ said, good job wit tha hook & rappin’ ova this beat. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds cool; glad he luv gettin’ fulla dat shit! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty dope, too; gotta dig it! “Dat nigga fulla dat shit!” My Rating: 4.2

02. Jaye London & Famous “Aim Game Nasty”

>>> Sounds cool wit this vibe; almost sounds like Supa (sampled) on tha hook, when they say tha title. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ good, strictly “rollin’ on dat suicide!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s cool; no Supa sample here, but it sounded like him… Overall, I’m diggin’ this; let’s keep it goin’! My Rating: 3.8

03. Shon Thang “Murda Man Talk”
>>> Almost ain’t feel tha voice, at first (thought it was YoungBoy or somethin’). However, this ain’t too bad. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it str8; let’s see what else this got… Hearin’ tha hook and tha voice sounds a lil’ more annoying, based off tha stronger emotion bein’ delivered. I’ono, I’ll have ta see how this one progresses… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s aight. Overall, I thank I’m slightly more annoyed than impressed… My Rating: 2.6

04. Yotsai feat. Taywrk “30mg”

>>> A DJ Swift beat, here; likin’ this title, too… Sounds like a good lil’ gangsta-soundin’ hook, wit tha cockin’ goin’ on. Beat’s on point ta keep these dudes hyped; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ good; gotta be “fulla dat good…!” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and dude sound pretty quick wit tha rappin’; good shit. Feelin’ his BR swag, as far as how he raps; good shit. My Rating: 3.8

05. Gang Music “How To Act”

>>> Likin’ this intro/hook; “fulla purp!” Tha beat sounds pretty dope, too, once it kicks in! Sounds like a classic Mouse/Q-Red/B-Real production; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good ta get tha “whole club dumb;” late 2010’s-type BR shit! “I finna hit up Vibes 2night;” I still gotta hit dat bitch up. I went to a coupla places (DJ’s Club Elite, Bella Noche, Tremon’s & a few others) but there’s a few I gotta hit up. Can’t wait fa my shake back! One day, next decade, I guess? Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here… Ain’t expect tha deeper-soundin’ voice; almost doesn’t fit tha energy level? Not bad but luckily, it was only a ½ verse and now, we got anotha member of Gang Music on tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse… Comin’ through, bar’d-up! Good shit! My Rating: 4.2

06. Mista Cain feat. T.Y. & Lil’ Soulja Slim “Break Bread”

No title? >>> Sounds a lil’ catchy but shitty wit tha vocals, on tha hook. Guess this one called “Break Bread”? Got a normal-soundin’ Mista on tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ like he braggin’, braggin’. “$30,000 in dat bag,” huh? Surprised I ain’t even get a dolla fa all tha great shit I do fa BR, yet, from him; disappointing! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from B.G.’s son and it str8; good lil’ contribution. Now, to anotha son: Soulja Slim’s, on 3^rd verse: Soundin’ good wit what he spittin’; “Magnolia to da bone.” Good verses, here, despite tha shitty-soundin’ hook. On anotha note, Mista should “Break Bread” wit me! I been showin’ him luv since May 2009! My Rating: 2.8

07. Rocky Mountainz feat. Jade Delvalle “I Am Dope”

I know this one familiar; an added feature, this time? Needless ta say, I still feel tha same way as I did about this on Vol. 5… Did this new version need a female? It’s cool; it fits tha vibe, so it’s a non-affectin’ bonus. My Current Rating: 3.5

08. GG Records “Outside”
>>> Reppin’ fa da “slimez,” here… Sounds a lil’ annoying wit tha way they sound, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and I’ono if I’m diggin’ this flow. Just sounds like a bunch of lyrics bein’ slammed in yo face… Sometimes, I dig it; I might dig otha songs of theirs, in tha future… Not feelin’ tha voice of tha 2^nd verse, neither; gotta ditch tha effects ‘cause it affects! Get it?! Like, what’s goin’ on from 1:48 – 2:00? Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics just bein’ shoved atcha! My Rating: 1.4

09. Beezy K “System”
Now wit only one “K”, unless I keep confusin’ this wit tha Beezy KKK; am I confusin’ myself, right nah? >>> Sounds like a YoungBoy flow; good rhymes but nothin’ special to catch on to me… Let’s keep tha YoungBoy-soundin’ music ta other people—oh wait, for tha past 19 years, I’ve been all about tha underrated. Guess I betta stay that way? My Rating: 2.2

10. Flow Gamble “Fuck A Hook”

>>> Sounds like a regular-soundin’ day in tha life of Flow Gamble, here, on tha 1^st verse… Tha beat makes it sound more like it’s for tha club, so it’s like a club vs. real-life vibe, here… “If you my nigga, why tha fuck you neva post my shit!” Oh, I feel that line! Produced and had two tracks where dudes rapped on, as well as made music videos to. Not once did I get a retag, post, etc.; no luv shown! Maybe, next time, they should pay me instead of me payin’ them? Definitely feel dat line; tha struggle’s real! Continuin’ on, tha rest of this aight; feelin’ tha aggression…! My Rating: 3.7

11. Kocaine feat. IamPicasso “Gangsta Gangsta”

>>> Sounds good, on tha hook; good lil’ “gangsta”-soundin’ hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s str8… Tha 2^nd dude str8, too; a str8 lil’ quick track, here… My Rating: 3.6

12. 225 Slugga “Pop Off”

>>> Hook sounds nice and energetic; luv how it took tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook ta let tha energy rise! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and dude sound cool wit tha “dog” parts; throwback-soundin’ rap vibe that I would love! Keepin’ it movin’, dude got tha streetz on lock, here, but fuses tha club vibe very well, as well! Tha 2^nd verse sound str8, too. Why he gotta go an auto-tune route, at times, durin’ tha verse? Sounds like it got drowned in tha wrong medicine, smh! My Rating: 3.7

13. Amber Jewelz “Out The Gate”
>>> Sounds like she focused fa tha clubz, here, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and she sounds str8; good shit, I’ll admit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice. Not really tha kinda shit I’d embrace too much but I’ll give her her props for me not bashin’ anythang about this track. My Rating: 3.7

½time: Mostly decent tracks, this time, with a coupla misses… A 3.3-rated CD, so far; let’s see how we continue…

14. Self 1^st Santana “Po Up”
>>> Not feelin’ this a-tuned voice, on tha hook & beat. Durin’ tha 1^st verse, it just sounds like random rappin’… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and I’m wonderin’ why I’m bein’ bothered…? Ugh, tha mumblin’!! My Rating: 1.1

15. Giovelli “Ex Pills”

Can we recover…? >>> A lil’ too sing-rap-y fa me, on tha hook. It sounds like they took notes from YoungBoy’s flow, smh. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds okay; nothin’ special; don’t even sound like it goes wit tha title? Odd that he says, “Be real,” so many times, before tha verse ends. It’s like, B-Real all about dem “pillz” but this ain’t on dat level… Tha 2^nd verse sounds like it’s startin’ off annoying; what tha hell wit tha noise sound at 2:06? It’s like their interest fell off fa tha rest of this track; really? My Rating: 1.6

16. DAF x WUE “Unusual”

>>> Looks like it’s startin’ ta become a struggle fa me to recover feelin’ this mixtape, right nah… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s more annoying vocals; beat just sounds like a regular-soundin’ beat? What happened to tha Louisiana sound I was used ta hearin’? No comment on tha 1^st verse, here; seems so long fa 3:16! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and I don’t have no comment, neither… “I’m in my bag like I’m some groceries;” ugh… Still 1:01 left? Why…? A 3^rd verse, here—3^rd!! No comment; just so much braggin’! “………walkin’ like Bambi…;” somethin’-somethin’… Like, whaaaaaaaaaaaat…?!? First, we got “groceries!” Now, we get “Bambi?!” My Rating: 1.2

17. 2.0 “Stupid”

>>> A lil’ betta, wit this hook/beat/vibe… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s str8; just a lotta rappin’ that just sounds like random shit? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and my interest goin’ downhill. I’ono, I can’t feel this as much as otha club bangaz on these mixtapes… My Rating: 2.4

18. Miss Portia “It’s Gon Cost You (NOLA Remix)”

Don’t forget that apostrophe in “Its!” >>> Glad “it’s” on a bounce level, here, at least…! An okay-soundin’ remix, here; rememba: I still gotta recover my interest fa this mixtape. Tha singin’ sounds okay; I’d rather that rap that repeats/slams in yo face fa dis bounce shit, tho. Not much after; ehh, guess we gotta move on…? My Rating: 2.9

19. Dame Cain feat. Karter With Tha K “Sit Up”

That’s a funny name fa tha featured artist… >>> A lil’ betta than tha bounce remix I just heard; sounds good wit this hook. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I ain’t thank this Karter was a chick. Sounds like an okay verse; glad she on a club tip, gettin’ “ratchet wit it.” Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here & Cain soundin’ like he got tha world by tha ballz, here—I mean, club, not world… Sounds good, mainly; I’ll give it props… My Rating: 3.7

20. Beatking feat. Furly “Infruname”

Furly on tha feature; let’s see if we get a bounced-up vibe? >>> Sounds like a good/hyped-up hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it cool from Furly; she keep shit on lock, despite it not bein’ a 100% bounce beat. I still like tha sounds goin’ on throughout tha verse; interestin’… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha Beatking on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit his club-type shit. “Drug you like Cardi B,” huh? Oh, “Cardi…” “I want some head like dreadlocks,” huh? Good shit…! Ugh, that word! “Boujee!” That “J”! I rather shmoke one than see it in “Boujee,” lol! My Rating: 3.8

21.

No #21? Gonna have to not count it… My Rating: N/A

22. Box & Level “Too Much”

I got ta meet Box earlier this year, on February 28 (night of February 27):

Excitin’; he spotted me in da club! Now, let’s see tha excitement, here! >>> Finally, back ta normal!! Sounds great wit Level depectin’ tha “Too Much”-type hook! Can’t have “Too Much” Level! Good shit on tha 1^st verse, too, Lev! “Shout out ta Mouse that’s my muthafuckin’ roll dog!” I really wanna link up wit tha both of ‘em (Mouse & Level)! Gotta make it a future opportunity! I have Box’s # so I may have a chance? Next trip? Keepin’ it goin’ wit Box on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit; glad he holdin’ it down as a ‘70s baby in his ‘40s, almost a decade older than me! Gotta keep it movin’! Glad he feels tha vibe! My Rating: 4.4

23. Gutta Soulja “Better Chill”

>>> Dude sounds good on tha hyped-up hook, here, on this beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good, too; gotta luv tha hype! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it cool, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.1

24. Mona Lysa “Boss Shyt”

Got tha “Final” in tha ID, here… >>> Sounds like she got some good, consistent rhymes ta offer fa da club, here? Good lil’ 1^st verse; I’m feelin’ her consistency… Feelin’ her “raw” shit, as well as tha hook, toward tha end… My Rating: 4.0

25. Bukk Fastgame feat. Bezo Luciano “Drip”

I rememba seein’ a video of this wit, of course, flashin’ money… >>> Sounds good wit tha “Drip” shit goin’ on, throughout tha hook. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Fastgame and it sounds good; I’ll give it props, despite bein’ hit by tha “money!” Got Bezo on tha 2^nd verse and, of course, he reaches for tha “money” so fast…! Luv how he pulls success outta himself, all tha time. Glad he got that kinda success; glad he luv tha “Drip!” My Rating: 4.1

26.

No #26… My Rating: N/A

27. Symore Banks “UGQ”

>>> Endin’ wit a chick, here… Beat’s basic & her rhymes are ehh; kinda bored, here… Hook sounds like a Z-Ro sample or somethin’… Just ends wit tha long hook. I feel like tha hook’s tha best outta this one but not too much interest, regardless. My Rating: 2.5

Overall: Wow, this was unda an hour? Either way, this might be tha weakest outta tha compilations I reviewed. There were no 4.6+’s and most of tha tracks didn’t really give me a good vibe. Shout out ta Box & Level for makin’ a stellar appearance! Couldn’t imagine what my #1 woulda been if it wasn’t for them! Either way, glad you appreciate my time; hope you appreciate all of it! Hope to review Vol. 2, one day & hopefully, on my next trip down, we’ll link up/I’ll make it down on a club night!
