Review #1,810: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 4"

Reviewed on 8.14.2019 (Review #1,810)


Keepin’ ‘em comin’, slowly but surely… DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 4! Looks like you’ll have anotha birthday 2morrow, as I’ll prolly resume tha next three reviewz for 2morrow! Start Time: 8:34 PM | End Time: 9:54 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!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,810) reviewed on 8.14.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Austin On Tha Track feat. Meter Gang “Fuck It Up”
Kickin’ it off wit anotha Meter Gang song… >>> So far, based off you on tha intro & tha beat, it sounds like it’s much betta than tha previous edition’s Meter Gang track. Bass sounds heavy; decent rhymes on tha 1st verse, here. Was okay till tha annoying hook came in. How ironic: “Fuck It Up,” huh? That’s how I feel about how this hook sounds! Shouldn’ta added a lil’ auto-tune on tha vocals… Gee Money Pimpin’ on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ aight, here; not much ta say… A 3rd verse fit & it’s pretty fast, here… Overall, decent; just a shitty hook, even tho it would prolly sound betta in your club. My Rating: 2.8


02. Jaye London “My Situation”
>>> Sounds like a hot beat start from Trel It’z A Hit on tha track! Samplin’ Cleveland Lounge’s “Drowning” song from 2000 on tha beat sound (da-dunn-dunn; da-dunn-dunn, da-dunn-dunn). Hearin’ what he spittin’ and it’s nice; definitely feelin’ this beat! Good shit; I got impressed… My Rating: 4.3


03. O.U. Bird “How I Live”
>>> This good; good lil’ hook. Can’t confuse this Bird wit Byrd, despite them both bein’ Louisianimalz… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like a good lil’ club banga; good shit. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it str8; this str8, overall. My Rating: 3.8


04. Yotsai “Sideline”
Not sure what ta expect from this artist’s name… >>> Tha “it’z up, it’z up” shit sounds like some good Baton Rouge shit. Not likin’ tha “whole lotta money” shit, as well as one of tha “it’z up”s bein’ taken outta tha 2nd ½ of tha hook. Either way, kinda likin’ it as a guilty pleasure, tho ‘cause I like tha singin’. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s random club rappin’, ova this good beat. Thought there woulda been room fa a 2nd verse but a lil’ bit of an outro, here… My Rating: 3.9


05. BBE AJ feat. Whop Bezzy “Doing My Dance”
>>> Got a La’Keith production, here; looks like we’re off to a betta-than-average start wit this mixtape, so far… Sounds like a regular-soundin’ dancin’ track that’s aight, on tha hook; beat nice, tho. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and bleh, why err-one gotta have “racks” or money in every song? Like, aren’t they more paranoid about all money on ‘em than havin’ weed on ‘em? I would be—oh wait, my brother passed! There’s no such thing as bein’ paranoid, anymore! With that bein’ said, tha rest of tha 1st verse cool, tho; “Jigga City” representa, at its finest! Got Bezzy on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha street combination fa this club track. My Rating: 4.0


06. OMG JT feat. HBO Duece “In This Bit By Myself”
I rememba meetin’ HBO Duece one of tha dayz afta I met you, after October 13, 2017:
Now, he here… >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ club banga; anotha great hook/beat! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s cool; I’m diggin’ tha energy/fast rhymin’. Definitely a cool lil’ jiggin’ jam; let’s see how HBO contributes… Here comes HBO on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some undaground, Jigga City energy! Good shit; nice job from tha both of ‘em! My Rating: 4.2


07. Jay Lewis “I Hope”
>>> Only a minute; let’s see what’s good… Nice jiggin’-type beat, once again, as well as strictly gettin’ to da rappin’! Likin’ tha hopin’; gotta “hope” fa da best! Last 12 seconds wit tha beat’s kicks sound dope! Lol @ all these wishes! My Rating: 4.1


08. Fredo Bang “Kill Ya”
>>> Prolly on tha guilty pleasure tip but I prolly gon feel this a lot. He sing-raps tha hook pretty nice, here, as well as tha good beat. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and he got this shit on lock! OMG, if I rate this high, if it becomes my top-rated track on here, I’ll die laughin’, lol! There’s gotta be somethin’ mo catchier on here! “My heart black like a croooooow,” lol! Almost thought it was ova but a 2nd verse’s here… Sounds like a good lil’ verse; really feelin’ that silly/good hook. My Rating: 4.7


09. Hotboy Turk feat. Birdman “All The Money”
>>> Not inta tha “money” shit, on tha hook. Speakin’ of, you know, which it’s featured in that Louisiana trip documentary where I met you, after I left tha club that night, I got sexually assulted, robbed & threatened, smh; it was a Friday tha 13th, too, tho I’m not superstitious. Got stronger since but once again, you know why I hate “money” shit (even tho, it mainly go back ta November 17, 2011, when I first got robbed in tha business. I was finally paid back October 6, 2018!)! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it str8; sounds good wit this beat. Surprised Birdman sound good on tha 2nd verse; thought he was gon have auto-tune or some wack shit. Glad he proved me wrong & his verse was betta than tha hook… Got mo room fa a 3rd verse, here. Tha 3rd verse from Turk str8, here; likin’ tha “lottery ticket” shit. I give him his props fa keepin’ this shit goin’ fa you, Tremon. My Rating: 3.7


10. Lil’ K “Trench Living (Jeezy Flow)”
A Jeezy-jacked track? Not sure if I’ll feel? >>> Not like I recognize it like other shit I’ve heard in da past. Let’s see what we got, tho… His “uh” in tha beginning reminded me of Jeezy, until tha flow sped up. Either way, it’s a good hook fa tha streetz. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like a good hustle; good shit. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it str8; this track str8 fa me, overall… My Rating: 3.5


11. DB Kash “200K”
Not sure if I’ll feel this money-lookin’ title… >>> Likin’ this beat; tha hook ain’t too annoying, at least. Let’s see how tha verses go… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and yeah, it’s braggin’ too much about “money” but I’m still not 100% turned off… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s whateva. I’m still enjoyin’ this in some type of way, so it’s not a flop fa me… My Rating: 3.6


12. P-Nut feat. Bolo “Turnt Up”
>>> Sounds like a good club banga, wit tha streetz mix… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like good rhymes wit this beat… Glad for tha hook! “Dem chewiez got me turnt up!” Good shit; gotta luv energy! Wish I had more, right nah but not havin’ a job’s hurtin’ my productivity & motivation, smh. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it ain’t bad. Why err-body gotta have somethin’ “money” in they verse, especially if I neva heard/barely heard of ‘em? My Rating: 3.9


13. Arthentic “Nowhere”
>>> Doesn’t sound like a singin’-styled track I’d fuck wit but their singin’ str8, on tha hook… Decent 1st verse; sounds like it has potential outside tha Boot? Tha rest str8; I won’t hate too much, despite it not bein’ my style… My Rating: 2.5


14. Nicole Monionno “Walked In”
>>> Like how you introduced her in tha beginning! Just tryna type tha last name and then, you said it, lol. I’ono, nothin’ too special wit these rhymes & this track. Nothin’ that sounds too terrible but I still think it sounds good fa your club sets… Tha rest of this decent; nothin’ really ta say… My Rating: 2.4


15. Geno “While You Jig”
Only one “G” in “Jig”, here? That’s less of bein’ a “G”, right, lol? Oh wait, tha otha “G”’s in “Geno”, his name, lol! >>> I’m diggin’ this vibe; sounds like a good lil’ throwback vibe fa tha jiggalatin’! Get it? “Throwback” & “jiggalatin’” I used in tha same sentence? Of course! Hearin’ tha verse and it sounds cool fa this; good lil’ quickie! My Rating: 4.2


16. Rocky Mountainz “The Revenge Of Paper Boi”
Looks interestin’ but let’s see… >>> Anotha one wit “dollaz,” kickin’ it off… Sounds slightly like a mysterious-soundin’ production, wit a cool vibe… Kinda thrown off wit all tha “money” shit but it sounds good, at times… What’s wit all these newer tracks out wit tha beat distortin’ in tha back, these dayz? Sounds too typical; I get weird when I always hear ‘em. Either way, sounds okay wit tha 2nd verse… I’ll give this one its props; almost a 4.0’er… My Rating: 3.9


½time: So far, so good, Tremon! A 3.7-rated CD; looks like there’s no trash, luckily! A couple good bangaz, too; let’s keep it goin’!


17. Rocky Mountainz “Top 2”
Him, again…; back-2-back like pillz, lol! >>> Sounds okay; tha otha song was much catchier wit tha production. This production sounds more like it fits wit your club sets than tha catchiness of my earz. Either way, tha rhymes aight; just sounds like it was randomly made. I’ono about this “Top 2,” tho; might make tha “Top” 20! My Rating: 3.4


18. Bolo feat. Mr. Do The Most “Feed The Fam”
>>> Oh, boy!!! So, this was not an original beat, tha whole time? I know this off of (not gonna say his name ‘cause of an issue & he blocked me on June 19, 2019, after I showed him luv on my playlist, smh) “True Story”, from three years ago. Basically, this, like, a rap vs. rap track, fa me (already heard some1 rap off this beat, when I thought it was an original track). Tha hook okay; doesn’t really catch me like “True Story” did, despite that bein’ watered-down wit auto-tune! As far as tha rest of this, kinda random; weird that it’s my lowest-rated, here, atm! My Rating: 2.0


19. Kocaine “Junkies At My Door”
>>> Sounds cool wit this hook and tha beat ain’t bad… Tha 1st verse ain’t bad; diggin’ his “trap house”-type rhymes, here. Tha rest of this ain’t bad; I’ll give it its props. My Rating: 3.5


20. Big Swipe “She Gon Hit Da Lick”
>>> Anotha one that sounds str8, as far as tha hook & beat. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds like dude on a mission fa undaground success. Hearin’ tha hook fa tha 2nd time & he sound lost, a lil’? “She gon hit da—I,” lol? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds str8; a decent lil’ track… My Rating: 3.3


21. Lil’ Swipe “Betta Get Low”
>>> Sounds like a good call-out command track to “get low!” Prolly coulda had a lil’ mo energy in da beat but it’s still cool ‘cause this dude got tha energy in his flow. Hearin’ tha verse and he sound like a Louisiana version of Chedda Da Connect, only wit a lil’ mo energy. My Rating: 3.6


22. Banga “It’s Whatever”
>>> An EQ beat, based off tha hornz in tha beginning? Good hook; I always dig tha repetitive “it’s whateva wit me”-type hooks! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good wit these rhymes/tha energy. Lol, this 2nd verse’s pretty raw! Tha “masturbation” shit and whateva follows that’s pretty dope! He got tha rhymes on lock, this time! My Rating: 3.8


23. Lil’ E feat. D3 Yungin “Drip”
>>> Likin’ tha beats drippin’ on tha beat! Also, good lil’ intro from you, Tremon. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s cool; I’ono when but I have a feelin’ I’ll get tired of err-body wit tha “drip” tracks, one day. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s str8; nothin’ annoyin’ ta turn me off… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it aight; club shit, here… My Rating: 3.7


24. D-Shaw “Woke Up”
>>> He sounds consistent on this shit; an improvement, here… I mean, how many lyrics can you spit? I usually have been turned off by tha fast rappin’, these dayz. However, this sounds a lil’ betta than usual. Tha hook sounds good fa a wakin’ “up” track. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds good; flow slowed down a lil’, surprisingly… Well, it sped back up, right away…! My Rating: 4.0


25. Mack Tony “Bitch Please”
>>> Sounds like a few sampled parts in tha beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s cool; not bad… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it str8; nothin’ much ta say… Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on & it’s aight; tha flow a lil’ iffy fa me wit how it’s slow/repetitive, tho… My Rating: 3.1


Intermission: I tried ta hold it in but due to tha heat & tha laptop on my lap, right nah…
Have ta shit! *Shit Start Time: 9:33 PM* *Shit End Time: 9:37 PM* Wow, that was a fast shit, despite my back hurtin’…


26. Bookie “Freak Hoe (G-Mix)”
>>> Sounds like it gon be anthemic fa dem clubz… Sounds like dude inta this shit, durin’ tha 1st verse; good shit. Tha beat gives this a good vibe ta progress inta somethin’ nice! “I’m wit tha shits;” did I predict my shit at tha right time, lol? Maybe, one song too soon but I felt “tha shits!” Literally! A random female on tha hook; sounds good. A part of me feels like this reminds me of tha early ‘00s—ironically, Bookie said, “Don’t start no shit, it won’t be no shit,” no less! Anotha psychic feelin’, as I quoted that on tha last review! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it good, too; nice lil’ throwback-type club vibe, here, ta make this & tha next decade sound nice! My Rating: 4.1


27. Furly “Pop Dat”
>>> ROFL @ this hook; luvin’ all tha title parts!! Gotta give it up ta this chick! Speakin’ of throwback sounds wit tha previous track on here, this sounds like it has tha ‘90s to it. Lol, can’t believe this gon be Fredo Bang’s runner-up fa tha top!! My Rating: 4.4


28. Tweeday “Club Move”
Can he recover from his 1.0 flop, from tha last CD? >>> Of course, he can! This more like it! Definitely feelin’ how he can make tha “Club Move” on this track! Good shit; glad he keep this shit goin’! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good; glad he don’t run outta energy! “Goin’ Deezy on ‘em!” He got dat Level-type energy; gotta have it in ya! This one might have ta break “Pop Dat” from tha Fredo Bang runner-up challenge! My Rating: 4.4


29. Sam I Am “Piped Up”
Oh boy, Sam wit tha competition, here! I rememba hearin’ this one, too, but once again, didn’t add ‘cause I was goin’ thru shit… >>> Sounds good wit tha hook; always got dat energy “up!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse and damn, his voice sound like he so watered-down from his previous energy. I know he went thru a near-death experience, two years ago—oh, he just said it, b4 tha verse ended… I actually met him right b4 that shit happened…
Either way, good shit; we #80sBabiesInOur30s, so we got dis! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it’s good. It’s almost like, with his voice like dis, it sounds like he spittin’ more fa tha streetz than just tha clubz, here. Wit that bein’ said, I still think it combines nicely… My Rating: 4.3


30. NBA YoungBoy “No Mentions”
Oh no… >>> Icky money shit in tha beginning… “I been hidin’ from attention…,” huh? Doesn’t seem like dat! He gets way more attention than me & I hold it down fa tha city way mo than him! I been, since he was only 7, turnin’ 8! Still doin’ somethin’ fa Louisiana at least once a month, since October 2007! Either way, not much else ta say about tha 1st verse… Sounds like he wants to have a Jamaican-styled delivery wit tha hook and his flow; whatev… Shit, how many rhymes he gon squeeze in, on tha 2nd verse? Yada-yada-yada flow; go away! My Rating: 2.2


31. B-Thone “Havin’ Thangs”
>>> I know this a sample from UGK but it almost seemed like this an oldie? I know I’m trippin’ when I say dat; I just thank other people have sampled this… Actin’ like it’s 100% somethin’ I neva heard b4, this sounds like a good lil’ hook and beat; almost sounds like Pimp’s voice turned into a lady’s… And yeah, Tremon, “Shout out to ThaAntidote.com;” props ta dem! Got tha 1st verse goin’ on and it’s cool; do yo shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s cool, as well; do yo shit, once again… My Rating: 3.8


32. Johnny Hu$tle “Hustla”
Endin’ wit my boy! >>> Good shit; glad he always hustles! Strictly spittin’ good shit durin’ tha 1st verse; he know what it iz! I’m likin’ that he brought back da oldies, on tha hook, just like how he was “Born 2 Roll!” Got tha lil’ bounce-type vocal flow on tha 2nd verse, here, like he was a part of U.N.L.V.! Good shit, Hu$tle! Keepin’ tha 2nd verse goin’ wit tha “urinal” shit. I remember when he took his “final piss of 2013;” I paid tribute ta dat & had my “final piss of 2018,” in Virginia, lol! Gotta love him! He a big inspiration to my character! We #80sBabiesInOur30s! Just see tha shittin’ pic I posted, earlier in tha review! He inspiration behind dat, too! My Rating: 4.4


Overall: Weird… Tha other compilations were 1:19 long. This one was shorter but because of my shit, it was a 1:20 review; it’s like it fit, like a fit, lol! But yeah, good shit; seemed like I liked this compilation tha best, so far! Not too many that struck me in a major way, like tha previous two comps had at least two 4.6+ ratings. This one only had one and it was a guilty pleasure. Either way, there were no shitty songs, outta 32, no less! Weakest one was ‘cause I heard it from a rapper that no longer likes me; weird… But yeah, I will continue this shit 2morrow morning, around 7:00! Stay tuned; do yo shit! Have anotha birthday on me & my reviewz!
