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 or have auto-tune in your vocals, I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
"Intro"
Dunn dunn dunn… Very anticipated, especially since I'm gettin' paid to do this…!! >>> Almost got thrown off by tha singin' in tha beginning but tha beat iz gettin' a lil' better and now I hear you rappin'! You just mentioned "tha dumb way" so now I wanna hear what you got to say! Definitely good for a start! If longer, I prolly would've rated it more but all good 'cause I liked it and that's what counts! My Rating: 3.9
02. "Peepers"
I wonder what this joint'll be like. C'mon, good shit!! >>> Good it's long wit a 4:35 length and it's an original beat so that's good! Beat iz gettin' better! You sound like an interesting Baton Rouge rapper! I got LOTS OF LUV for Baton Rouge rappers/people 'cause people in Baton Rouge luv me and got LOTS of respect for me and what I do. Great verses, especially at tha end of tha 2nd verse wit tha "hit 'cha wit tha blocka, blocka" line. Liked that shit! Definitely feelin' this interesting song. Go Dutty Devioso!! My Rating: 4.3
03. "Fish Grease"
Ooh anotha interesting title!! High anticipation 'cause I'm real curious to hear what this one iz about!! >>> Good faster beat. Yeah, you are keepin' it "hot like 'fish grease'." Good shit so far. Yeah anotha interesting song wit those interesting lyrical lyrics. Keepin' me in-tune wit these jointz 'cause they're great. Definitely feelin' 'em and I'm glad I'm doin' this review for you! Thanx SO MUCH for payin' me for it!! My Rating: 4.0
04. "Easy"
That's what it prolly iz when it comes to this Rap shit for you. Let's hear what's goin' on wit this one… >>> A cool beat intro for this one. Should be interesting… again! Yup, this iz interesting and GREAT SHIT to listen to!! That hook iz tight wit it bein' so "easy" to do shit. That 2nd verse was nice! Sounds like a nice mainstream song wit that beat. I'm glad these songs sound good without soundin' "trendy". Great song right there and I hope it gets you to places! My Rating: 4.2
05. "Walk Like A G" Feat. Diablo
First feature on tha CD and what do ya know? I know who it iz! Diablo fucks wit Nu$$ie so I know he be on Nu$$ie's TIGHT collaborations. Time to hear what you 2 did! >>> A switch in styles as this iz more southern. Like that screwed & chopped hook. Good verse by you. Now, I hear Diablo on tha 2nd verse… Good verse from him. Now, you're on tha 3rd verse… I'm DEFINITELY feelin' tha "how to make a good hand out tha cards I was dealt." Very lyrical line right there! Good 3rd verse. My Rating: 4.1
06. "Up The Ante"
Tha title track… Let's see watz good! >>> Decent beat start. Actually, tha beat iz a lot better soundin' since it's more on tha "dark" side. Great 1st verse and for some reason, I love tha hook, especially when tha title iz said! Yeah great shit goin' on wit this song! THAT FUCKIN' HOOK! LOVE IT!!! Likin' tha "chef/grill ya" line. Tight joint right here! My Rating: 4.5
07. "Long Time Coming" Feat. John Barnes
Let's see this new collab for me… >>> Beat iz not my style and tha song iz not my style. Interesting lyrics in tha 1st verse though about tha drug related thingz. Can't really get into that hook too. This ain't tha type of song I would get into but good job on tha lyrics and call this a "future follow-up single" if you be droppin' singles. Please mind my rating as it's my rating. My Rating: 2.7
08. "2 Step" Feat. Kid-0
Hope I'll like this and it doesn't sound too "trendy"… >>> Good thing it's not bad as it sounds slow and dark, compared to somethin' like Unk's "2 Step" where it's fast and full of a "gay dance style". Glad you made this into a "cool" song and not a "gay dance" song. Great verse and hook. Kid-0 did his thang on his part. Sounds like a great collabo. Feelin' that hook more! Great collabo and song. That's real cool that you said "dawg" twice at tha end of tha song 'cause I always really like when rappers say "dawg." BTW, that was a very true line at tha end where you were talkin' about people "fightin' in tha club but they 'posed to be grown ass men." I wish there would be less fightin'. That way, there wouldn't be much stereotypin' to get me to tha club 'cause I neva got to one yet and I have no way of gettin' back 'n forth to one. I ain't got no friends where I'm at either so that's why my luck iz very minimal. All my friends are tha peeps I network wit online in Louisiana (but that's 20 hours away from me). My Rating: 4.0
09. "I'll Give U Dat" Feat. South PZ
Let's see if this one'll sound like a HARD Baton Rouge club banga!! >>> Very anticipating intro as it's very slow. Yeah, there's that HITTIN' HARD beat creepin' in!! Good thing this doesn't sound like tha usual club bangaz that come out. This goes HARD wit tha beat and tha way you rap it! Good shit homie! South PZ sounded not bad but you were a lot better on this. Definitely a tight joint right here and great for tha Baton Rouge clubs! Oh and you said "dawg" at tha end of this joint too so that's watz good. My Rating: 4.2
½time: This iz a tight CD you got here! Most of tha jointz I was really feelin' and definitely didn't sound like anyone else so there's a LOT of originality in this! Keep up tha great work and let's see what's next…!
10. "Tippy Toes" Feat. TeQuilla
I'll pass on tha preview. >>> Great beat start! Sounds like a sequel of tha previous joint I listened to, "I'll Give U Dat". Ooh TeQuilla iz a female! Let's hear what she's got… She was nice on tha mic. This iz a catchy song. Feelin' that catchy hook. My Rating: 3.8
11. "Fuck Y'all" Feat. Kingpin Slim
Let's see how angry you are on this… >>> Yeah, I know a lot of "cowards" that "change like tha seasons." Too many people I dealt wit from Lackawanna College "changed like seasons" and I couldn't stand it. You can be real cool but why not respectful to me at tha same time? That's why in my head I'm like, just like you're sayin', "fuck y'all" at times 'cause who needs tha bullshit? Anyway, Kingpin did his thang and you did a great job on this. Feelin' you on tha 3rd verse of this. My Rating: 3.9
12. "Real Talk" Feat. Jayroc
That's what you spit so now let's see how you spit it! >>> This iz tight! Great beat and tha rappin' on this iz tight. This iz "real talk" from me and I'm sure this iz "real talk" from you and Jayroc too. Jayroc came through HARD on his verse!! You did a great job wit your verses and that hook just gets this joint goin'. HOT shit right here that went HARD! My Rating: 4.4
13. "Overnight Celeb"
>>> Cool beat intro! This iz a pretty nice joint right here. I like tha singin' in tha hook. Good verses and I'm glad you're "blazin' dank." My Rating: 3.7
14. "Wasshappnin'"
Let's see how cool this joint gon sound like! >>> Anotha long joint and this one iz 4:56 on tha length. Yeah, tha "wassup, wasshappnin' nigga" parts sound like tha way people in Louisiana talk in tha Rap game so I was feelin' that. I'm glad you "got that product in your sock." That's watz good that you tryna get yo money game up and yo smoke on. LOL @ you "dyin' to let your semen out." I just let some out right before I got into "Real Talk" on here (yeah, that's "real talk" that I'm sayin' too, lol). Yeah, I ain't afraid to say shit on my reviews. I love my reviews and givin' tha streets what they wanna hear: *Janet voice* feedback, feedback! This iz a joint right here! Yeah this was a REAL COOL joint right here. My Rating: 4.5
15. "Young N Dumb"
That's how they do it in B.R.! Lemme see how "dumb" you go on this junt! >>> Good another longy @ 4:36 on tha length. Nice, laid back flowin' on this wit a nice beat. This iz more not on tha "go dumb/stupid" side. It sounds like it's more on tha "you're dumb/stupid" side. Yeah this iz okay. Since it's about someone who's just plain stupid, I don't really have much interest in feelin' it too much. But yeah, good advice at tha end: tellin' tha "young" ones not to be "dumb". My Rating: 3.4
16. "Dis Is Life" Feat. V. Skillz
Let's hear about your life even more! >>> I thought V. Skillz was gonna be a male rapper but no, a female singer. Because I didn't have much faith in No. 7, I don't have much faith in this either (and I usually get faith wit No. 16). It's anotha joint I can't really get into but I'm gonna listen to give you some credit on thingz: more great lyrics on tha 1st verse about your mom, your dad and about you and your "sellin'" issue. Definitely real great lyrics on tha 2nd verse which deals more wit life. Very lyrical. Pretty good 3rd verse too. I wonder why so many people in tha Rap game struggle? What's tha definition? I'd rate tha lyrics a 4.8/5.0 when it comes to tha lyrics but for tha song and how I feel it, I can't rate it so high 'cause of what I get into listenin'. My Rating: 3.0
17. "One Good Girl" Feat. Ciano
Just finna get into it now. >>> Wow these jointz be long (4:30 on tha length). I thought this was gonna sound better but no, not for me. It's special when it comes to that "one girl" but not really gettin' into this. What's wit tha "Umbrella" type of hook in tha 1st ½ of tha hook? That's a throw off for me. Not too much to say. Sorry. My Rating: 2.4
18. "Googa Mooga" Feat. Lil' Witness
Can I finally give a betta rating? Lil' Witness on this so you know at least 4.0 or higher for me! >>> And ANOTHA joint over 4 minutes! Maybe this'll sound more like a "for tha ladies" anthem than tha previous joint. Like that intro from you! Oh you sound a lil' like Max Minelli BTW. I see you said "thicka than a snicka." I wish that song, by Meech, "Thicka Than A Snicka", would've blown up (came out tha end of last year). It was soooooooooooooooooooo mainstreamish and flopped. Not wit me though! Great so far and yeah, Lil' Witness wit his CRAZY rappin'!!! Song iz pretty good. Lil' Witness really put tha "TIGHT" in this joint. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't've rated this at least 4.0! My Rating: 4.3
19. "Damage Is Done"
This iz it! Tha CD iz over after this… How will you end it? >>> Sounds like a Rick Ross "Hustlin'" organ in tha beginning. REAL catchy lyrical lyrics in tha 1st verse (even when it comes down to "brushin' your teeth"). Now this iz tha lyrical shit I can rate better (especially wit a nice beat like this)! No offense but LOL @ imitating tha "lil' kid cryin'" part. Too bad for him though. Great lyrics and great song right here! My Rating: 4.2
Overall: End Time: 9:48 PM. LOL @ exactly 2 hours. I neva hit it on tha nail like that but I guess thanx to tha masturbating (lol), it balanced out. Anyway, you have yourself here a good CD! Definitely felt a bunch of these jointz on here! Some I didn't feel, but you proved your lyrics were good wit that No. 19 joint. Now that's when I wanna hear tha lyrical shit! Keep doin' yo thang, I hope you like this review and thanx again for tha payment!
