FrankieThaLuckyDog here, with anotha live review! This gon be my 2,021st review, overall: Don’t Die Wondering Music Group’s Phat Baby (Y.B. For Initials) Profit Off My Pain! Can’t wait ta hear more of what ya got fa tha spring of 2022, leadin’ into tha summer! I know my mic had troubles while I was filmin’ & reviewin’ tha Stepchild (Deluxe) release. However, that’s what made me wanna review dis live, right nah, ya heard me?! So, without further or do, lemme get inta dis 14-track review! Start Tyme: 11:39 AM | End Tyme: 12:26 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 & 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. “Infamous”
Let’s kick it off wit somethin’ dark & Rouge-type fa tha Rouge streetz? That’s what I’m guessin’, here… >>> Intro sounds like you finna deliver somethin’ depressin’. However, correctly identified with tha dark streetz, at least. Tha beat kinda less on a Rouge tip but I’m feelin’ what you bringin’, here, as far as how you spittin’ tha rhymes. Luv how you mentioned “lean, weed or pillz”; go get it in! Err-tyme I think of you & your licks hit, I think of mine hit, too; we both lost out on our $20K+, smh! Okay, so we got a hook, here, with tha “Infamous” part; good job dividin’ tha track up! With that bein’ said, tha 1st verse was pretty nice; tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ good wit your continuous “hustle,” of course…! My Rating: 4.3
 
 
02. “Shang Tsung”
Lol? Umm…, let’s get it! >>> Luv how I heard a Tarell or some1 on tha beat, here? Sounds dope ta rap on; I’m feelin’ your energy, here! Oh, tha damn “hanger,” as far as your “jacket” goes; nice…! “You might get picked, just like some cotton”; F.W.R.! Sounds dope with your continuous flow on this track; you unstoppable! “Shay-Soong” iz how you pronounced tha title, I heard? Good ta know… A str8-up “soul-steala,” once tha lil’ part came b4 tha beat outro; nice… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
03. “FWS”
Fa those who ain’t know of tha acronym here, it’s “Fuck Wit Somethin’”, ya heard? I’m seein’ tha title on tha music video ID’d as “Proper Play”, now. What dat about? Anyway, as far as this review, I luv how you really gettin’ err-body ta jam out ta dis, no matter what they gon “fuck,” lol! Tha hook iz definitely catchy; just luv tha energy you bring to tha Rouge & tha streetz! Frfr! “Out my mind, bitch, I’m retawded!!” Had ta jam out to tha 2nd hook on camera; definitely dope! Keep holdin’ tha streetz down to tha fullest! “Got mo shells than Taco Bell”; deep…! “Use your brain…”; alwayz! I make sure my “brain” comes 1st b4 anythang else! My Current Rating: 4.7
 
 
04. “Love Language”
Not sure if I need a preview. >>> Wasn’t sure what ta expect with tha harmonizin’ intro but it sounds like a decent track fa me… Sounds like you’re attemptin’ to really catch tha attention of tha listener, here; ehh, it str8… Tha hook from tha beginning sounds a lil’ catchy & tha verse was nice ta hear, at least. My Rating: 3.7
 
 
05. “Make It Make Sense”
How much “sense” will “it make”? How ‘bout dat one? >>> How will this piano-like intro play out…? Exposin’ those on tha 1st verse with tha whole flashin’ of gunz & shit… I would say, yeah, as far as those that fake it but tha real ones I’ve been with that carry toolz be doin’ they shit. Hearin’ tha hook & yeah, it’s pretty dark/dope with this beat & how you come through with when shit gets in tha hands of tha law! I feel ya, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s good ta “make” some “sense,” here. My Rating: 4.2
 
 
06. “We Shine”
That’s how we get down! We tha fam, ya heard me?! >>> Sounds like it could be a soft track… Back to a YoungBoy-influenced vibe, here; can’t say I can appreciate it 100.00%... Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty much like a real-life track; not too bad but I’ono about listenin’ to this, overall. Needless ta say, make it “shine” in your way… I have a feelin’ people’ll dickride this one; sounds like tha one I would let get away, on my playlist. Keepin’ it movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it sounds like you’re gettin’ it thru tha struggle…; decent… Got ta hear you say, “Phat Baby,” your latest stage name, at 2:35; nice soundbite. My Rating: 3.3
 
 
07. “All Alone”
Please don’t be depressin’… >>> Not anticipatin’ this intro with tha “cry” part; see, I knew where I was aimin’ with, with this one… Just sounds like a dark/semi-light production with tha lonely feelin’ of your uncle & gettin’ it thru tha dayz… Hearin’ tha verse after tha hook & it’s pretty real; that’s all I can say. This bein’ only 110 seconds long stands long enough for a length, at least. My Rating: 2.9
 
 
½tyme: This seems like an average/above-average release, so far; a good set of bangaz & some depressin’ tracks, too. Mix ‘em all in a gumbo pot & you get a ½tyme rating of a 3.9, so far. How will you continue ta do? Not really on Stepchild (Deluxe) levels but we’ll see how you progress wit tha rest of this release.
 
 
08. “Take It Far”
How “far” will you set tha bar on this track, fa tha 2nd ½? >>> Sounds nice with tha “007” intro, here, from what you think it “sounds like.” Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty nice wit what you comin’ up with, here… However, hearin’ you come through on tha verse sounds a lot louder than tha hook. Like, what happened with tha mixin’ & masterin’ there? Still, I’m feelin’ your energy & shout out/long live Looney, when you mentioned “no less than 50!” Can’t believe it’s gonna be two years in a few months! Just luv your aggression, once again! Okay, hearin’ tha hook again & it’s pretty nice! Just don’t like tha blendin’ of tha hook & other vocals… My Rating: 4.1
 
 
09. “Boosie Flow”
You just gon be flowin’ fa da good-ole “Boosie,” here? Lemme hear… >>> “Open my closet, I see dead bodies stacked up to tha roof.” Umm…, what a site to see, openin’ up tha track’s lyrics up with! I thought you was gon have more of a “Boosie Flow” on tha track, here, pun intended! “A zombie from tha dirt with how I was raised?” I’m diggin’ it! Your rhymes & thoughts just go beyond tha streetz! You see much more & I’m alwayz diggin’ it! Lol @ 1:34: “Eenie, meenie, miney, moe…” Luv how you don’t take a breath throughout tha rappin’; definitely nice! I just don’t agree with tha title, tho. Maybe, you coulda titled this one “Phat Baby Flow”? Just comin’ up with somethin’ off tha top of my head. My Rating: 4.2
 
 
10. “New Heater” feat. JHE Bankroll
Looks like a new feature on tha feature, here, but they have a money reference in their name; ehh… >>> Sounds like a dope lil’ beat fa tha Rouge’s streetz of 2022, here; hope it sounds good, overall! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & these rhymes are somethin’ else! You’re alwayz focused; gotta keep it goin’! Consistent-ass shit fa tha streetz after tha 1:00 mark! Keep that accuracy up!! Tha fuck up, that iz!! Hearin’ this new Bankroll dude on tha 2nd verse & he sounds good; I won’t give him a thumbs down…! I luv how he has a Rouge feel to how he raps off this Rougetastic production! Good shit; glad he surpassed my expectations! Fa’got ta mention about tha hook; great job, P-Baby! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
11. “Bussin’” feat. DQ Rogers
Ooh, anotha new feature fa me! Hope they’re just as good as Mr. Bankroll from tha previous track! >>> Tha vibe of tha tempo went down a lot, here… Just sounds like a bunch of rhymes from you on tha 1st verse, here; rhymes, rhymes, rhymes… Sounds like a long verse from you, here. It’s like, how will tha last minute go? Okay, no hook, just right to tha DQ Rogers verse, on tha 2nd… I’ll give dude some props, so far; we’ll see how he progresses in tha future… A good lil’ track but no hook? My Rating: 3.0
 
 
12. “Bleeda Tearz”
Long live TrueBleeda; I thought I was gonna make a tribute video ta him but due to not havin’ enough information, it got away. Anyway, I’ono if this’ll be too upsetting fa me but we’ll see. >>> I was correct about tha topic, of course; at least this production ain’t sad at all. Hearin’ you on tha verse & it’s pretty dope wit how you comin’ through fa tha analyzation of tha B.R. streetz; they’re crazy. Hearin’ how you quoted Kevin Gates & his 2008 “Streets Of BR”, too; sounded interestin’ when you applied dat. Tha last minute sounds like a lil’ soundbite from tha tymes of representin’ fa “Bleeda,” here; interestin’ add-on… Also, tha final ½ minute of tha track was tha beat; cool, cool. My Rating: 4.0
 
 
13. “SlimeBall”
Go get it in, my boy!! >>> Tha “Phat wit anotha one…” producer that OMG JT used on his “Job Done” track, from his Job Done release from last year! I’ono, I think it’s an okay beginning with how you come in with tha beat with tha title… Hearin’ you on this decent-soundin’ beat fa tha 1st verse & it sounds cool, I guess? Okay, it sounds like a 2nd verse’ll be here, since you said tha title part… Sounds like a good lil’ hook, I guess? You know tha world you’re in; keep gettin’ it in! Keepin’ this movin’ with tha 2nd verse & it sounds nice, too; keep givin’ “no fucks!” My Rating: 3.8
 
 
14. “Reptile”
Looks like we gon end it in a nice way, here? >>> Kickin’ it off with “Stepchild,” just like your “Stepchild [(Deluxe)]” release! I like tha “Fat Joe … “leanin’ back” part; great lil’ reference of ’04 & Terror Squad… I’m likin’ tha “youngin, you fuckin’ right!” parts; I luv how they keep repeatin’! Great lil’ verse & dope with tha lil’ outro you brought to tha ending, here; good shit… My Rating: 3.9
 
 
Overall: Not bad of a release, I would say; I’m feelin’ your energy & your dedication to tha 225 streetz, of course. Some catchiness on tha tracks but not too many to where I’m jumpin’ outta my seat & am supa excited about… Either way, I feel your grind & you don’t stop to make sure you shine, ya feel me? Keep ‘em comin’, Phat Baby! You’re worth it fa tha ‘90s babies in tha end, ya feel me?!
