Review #1,816: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 8"

Reviewed on 9.18.2019 (Review #1,816)


Still in tha middle of nowhere with my life, tho slowly attemptin’ to get back on track… In tha meantime, I got this review fa my boy, DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 8, courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment! Gettin’ ta review this tha day of its release; pretty lucky, right? Let’s see how every1 does…! Start Time: 9:46 PM | End Time: 10:35 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.
I’m guessin’ either Track 01 was a copyright on SoundCloud? Wanted to guess an intro attached to Track 02 but I’ll just assume it’s a copyright… Can’t review this track if nothing’s here… My Rating: N/A


02. Whop Bezzy feat. Kevin Gates “Stunt Forreal”
Without a 1st track, this’ll be tha track to kick thangz off…! >>> Sounds like a good, hyped-up, Baton Rouge-styled hook/track, here! Bezzy sounds like a Spitta/T2 mix in his gumbo’d flow, here; good shit! Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse, as he treats err-body “like a blunt” and “passes [‘em] to [his] homies;” dumb shit! Gotta be “fulla pillz,” enjoyin’ life to da max! Wish I was reviewin’ this high! Too bad I gotta wait, smh! October 9th sentencin’ day; we’ll see how long da countdown ta freedom gon be…! Wish me luck!! Wit dat bein’ said, goin’ str8 ta Gates on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some good/classic-soundin’ Gates! Definitely feelin’ this collab; pure BR/225-type shit to da bone gristle! No sellout/mainstream bullshit-soundin’ vibes here!! My Rating: 4.6


03. Spitta “It’s Up”
Fa’got da apostrophe in “It’s!” >>> Strictly consistent shit from da Spit, here; good shit! He got da flames on lock, throughout tha 1st verse! Good shit on tha hook, too! Gotta have your “head in da clouds!” Without tha highs, I can’t have my “head in da clouds,” as far as a full-workin’ brain; ugh! Good shit throughout tha 2nd verse, too, as well as tha rest of this shit goin’ on! Good lil’ acapella shit, too; Spit knows what Spit knows! My Rating: 4.4


04. OCG Sheppard feat. Kocaine “Twerk Contest”
Shep needs an extra “P”? >>> Sounds like it has a good lil’ 504 blend, here, wit tha beat/vibe… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good; feelin’ tha extraction of good vibes bein’ brought out…! Got Shepard on tha 1st verse, as well, expectin’ a winner wit dis “Twerk Contest”; good/consistent twerkspective, here—just made up a new word! 9.18.2019 @ 9:52 PM (EST); take notes! As we keep it goin’, we got Kocaine on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through as if it’s a Mardi Gras in Tremon’s club; good shit! Speakin’ of “birthday,” Happy Birthday to my round, Young True! Yalp! We ‘80s babies in our 30’s! My Rating: 4.2


05. Breezy Bre “Ready”
>>> A female, here, as we’re keepin’ tha twerk anthems goin’… Hook cool; I fucks wit it… I keep thinkin’ I’m hearin’ “asshole,” but I know it’s “ass go” and “ass, tho” lol. Lol! I’m really looped in tha “ass go” and “ass, tho” parts, lol! If I was high, I woulda been couch-locked & mind-fucked into it! Likin’ how tha bounce vibes picked up, toward tha end! Surprised how much I liked this one…! My Rating: 4.4


06. Birdman & Juvenile feat. Lil’ Wayne “Ride Dat”
Switchin’ to a more mainstream vibe, here… >>> Sounds like it transitioned well from tha full-on bounce vibe to a N’awlinz gangsta/bounce combo vibe… Juve on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some good shit; I fucks wit it… I like how tha hook has that classic turntable mix vibe to it; good shit, Juve! Oh wait, him sayin’, “Ride dat—ride-da-ride—ride…,” sounded like mixin’, at first, lol! But yeah, we got brrrrrr—Birdman on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit; nice… Not a single second fa fuckery, here! Oh shit, I think I spoke too soon? Wayne comin’ through on tha 3rd verse wit dat gay voice shit! He finna be 37 in nine mo dayz; still usin’ auto-tune like he fuckin’ 25! If somethin’ should be old, it’s auto-tune! It’s aight, tho; I won’t trash this too much, just fa dat… My Rating: 3.7


07. Jaye London “Fuck Ova”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ repetitive hook; anotha club banga…! Hearin’ Jaye on tha 1st verse, here, comin’ through wit supapowers! “Drink it down;” he holdin’ it “down!” Good shit comin’ outta tha 2nd verse, too. On da real, it’s just a good lil’ BR club banga wit dat G-shit on top! My Rating: 4.0


08. Mack Tony “Cocaine Step”
>>> Slower vibe, here, but more on a throwback, G-shit tip… Hearin’ dude on tha 1st verse and it almost reminded me of Project Pat’s voice/flow, slightly… Tha hook’s cool; gotta keep dem streetz on lock! Speakin’ of “cocaine,” comin’ October 9th, as well, I have a new music video comin’ out. It will be speakin’ on my situation, as a coke addict attempted to ruin my life. My version of dissin’? Playin’ his character and embracin’ his love fa tha coco! Anyway, good shit on tha 2nd verse, too; nice job, overall… My Rating: 3.9


09. Giovelli “Baby On Baby”
Like DaBaby? >>> Likin’ how it’s short and instantly in yo face! Quick and instant; consistent rhymes “on” rhymes! My Rating: 4.3


10. Mofoya “Rain Man”
>>> Almost sounds like some1 like Barry White sampled in tha background, here… Not really my style of rap that I’d really brag about… Let’s leave this lyrical shit to where I’m at, on tha northeast. Not that I’m gonna give it a thumbs down but it’s not 100% fa me and I don’t think it fits this compilation’s vibe… Tha 1st verse iz nice wit these rhymes… Oh, even more not on my tip: Only one str8 verse? Nothin’ to transition catchiness? Gotta criticize; it iz what it iz! My Rating: 3.1


11. Kocaine “Str8n It Out”
>>> Looks like a quick lil’ 89 seconds… Sounds like a good lil’ hook; I feel tha catchiness of this “str8n” he doin’! Hearin’ Kociana on tha verse and it sounds good; I’ll give him anotha plus. Either way, seein’ his name, all I think of iz my upcomin’ music video! My Rating: 4.1


½time: This a great edition, so far; started off real well and continues ta shine! Not too many bumps in tha road, here; a 4.1-rated compilation! Let’s keep it up! Only way iz up from here…, right?


12. Cake “Ls”
>>> Coulda skipped this auto-tune shit but I got stuck listenin’ ta it… “Boxers…Ralph Lauren;” I’ll just co-sign that line and that’s it! Title ironic? “Ls”? A loss, here! Beat upbeat but yeah, tha auto-tune in 2019 made it go down tha cesspool fa me! My Rating: 1.3


13. Beezy KKK “Shakeback”
>>> Anotha quickie… Hearin’ tha verse and it’s good, I guess… Likin’/got thrown off at :35 wit that distorted warp! My Rating: 3.6


14. Rocky Mountainz “Pack Pusher”
>>> Sounds like a catchy beat start, almost like one of my catchy sounds I’d use to produce… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s str8… Hook str8, too; likin’ it a lil’ betta than tha 1st verse, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it str8, as well, even tho I’m slowly losin’ interest. I’ono, maybe, a catchier flow/voice needed? Coulda used a feature on this track ta switch thangz up? Suggestion… (for his next track)? My Rating: 3.6


15. Big Lucci feat. Gunz Up Ent. “Lil’ Mama”
>>> A lil’ boost in tha energy, from those previous tracks! Needed a lil’ Louisianaffeine—anotha new word by me! 10:16 PM (EST)! Definitely diggin’ all tha energy on tha hook; good repetitive vibe! Got Lucci on tha 1st verse, here; I’m feelin’ his club vibe/lyrics! We need this kinda shit every once in a while! Shouldn’t be a thing of tha past! Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here, comin’ through wit a good lil’ Louisiana club vibe, here; nice shit… My Rating: 4.5


16. Bjay feat. Spitta & Percy Keith “Watch Out”
Lookin’ like a good collab, here…! >>> Just like tha song I just reviewed, this goes great wit it! Great transition! Feelin’ tha energy on tha hook, as well as what we got goin’ on from this Bjay dude on tha 1st verse! Strictly reppin’ da trenches of tha 225, here; good shit! Constantly throwin’ “back” on tha hook, too; dumb shit! Spit-to-tha-ta on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through as he can “fix it if it breaks;” an undeniable Spit! Let’s see how hard Perc gon come through on tha 3rd verse…! Didn’t recognize his voice fa tha 1st few seconds but tha energy iz at a 10, here! Of course, as consistent as can be! It’s kinda how I feel, right nah! I feel like as I’m typin’, I’m breathin’ fast or somethin’! But yeah, a pitbull off da chain!! My Rating: 4.7


17. L Franchise “Block Us”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ track/interestin’ beat; nice lil’ 1st verse, here… This “minimum wage” shit wack, on da real! I been had a Master’s Degree fa six years and everytime I apply fa a job, it always starts at a minimum; wtf? I deserve way more than a 12 or some shit! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it sounds a lil’ catchy wit tha flow, here; good shit… My Rating: 4.0


18. Flow Gamble “FWM”
>>> Goin’ wit a distorted voice on tha hook/title, as well as a club/hyped-up beat ta mix it; good shit! Feelin’ tha energy; let’s see how tha rappin’ goes… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and goin’ str8 ta da “bag;” hmm… Even referencin’ tha “Ricky Bobby,” like 2019’s tha new ’09? I would usually be like, “Wtf?” However, I feel like I’d rather embrace energy than criticize it. I think this world’s too lazy, these dayz! Stoned iz good to be lazy, at times, but I like when it makes me productive!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse and tha rappin’s pretty-much an adrenaline rush! My Rating: 4.2


19. Breezy Bre “Throw It Back”
>>> Almost got afraid when I heard it; thought it was a City Girls mainstream feature, lol! I know this a good, consistent review, tho! We stay in da Boot and da Boot only!! Good lil’ upliftin’ vibe from her, once again, on tha hook… Tha verse pretty nice, too, fa dis Tremontastic party; mo props from me! My Rating: 4.1


20. Lit Phil “Really Mad”
Hope this dude a good newbie… >>> Threw me off as tha bounce vibe transition from tha last song transitioned to this, which iz upbeat but not as fast. It literally seems like a slow song, at first, lol. Naw, tho, it mo shit fa tha clubz, of course! Hearin’ tha hook and it cool; I fucks wit it… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and dude got some good rhymes fa these 2019 BR streetz/this BR atmosphere. “How you almost 30 and ain’t have a car, yet?” I thought it was bad when I didn’t have one till 22…! I thought drivin’ by myself at 23 was late… Gettin’ my newest car at 26…; my slowness ain’t too far behind, huh? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it almost sounds off-beat, in tha beginning? I’ono… I’m diggin’ tha energy and what he bringin’ to tha table, tho… My Rating: 4.1


21. Buddy Cream “Enough”
>>> Rather just pass on this! Sounds like a jacked beat… No “money” fa me and odd-soundin’ voice! I only lasted 19 seconds! *Skips* My Rating: 1.0


22. Beezy KKK “Fulla Hurt”
>>> Was on-guard wit Beezy’s voice, here (damn you, Buddy Cream!) but it str8… Hearin’ tha hook and it ehh…; okay but not really my cup of tealicious tea… I’ono about that singin’, b4 tha verse; voice sounds like every1 listenin’ should cringe… Weak transition? I was gonna say, where tha hell does tha hook come back? Toward tha end; sounded like a long-ass verse… My Rating: 2.9


23. Spitta “Gotta Be Real”
>>> Endin’ wit a HardBody beat, here… I’m likin’ tha sounds in this one; sounds like a cool lil’ beat and Spitta spittin’ dat BR street shit on top of dis! Even sounds good wit a sample on tha hook, too; HardBody fa tha props! Everytime Spit says tha title on tha hook, I feel like it’s a props fa [DJ] B-Real! Good vibes! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it cool, as well; good job, Spit! Unlimited times he featured on each compilation and number of compilations! Keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Seemed like tha 2nd ½ of this CD had a rocky road ta cross… Omit tha auto-tuned trash, as well as any weird voices… I also thank tha lyrical content tracks should be saved for albums, not mixtape compilations fulla energy. Either way, great job, Tremon! I think from November 1 – 30, I’m gonna do a commercial fa you every day, promotin’ your Hottest In The City compilations. I was gonna do September 23 – October 31 but Skull Duggrey, n.k.a. Charles Hershieie, hit me up and wanted me to give him an idea/boost. So, I decided that I’m gonna produce a new beat for him, each day, from September 23 – October 31! That’s right! Can I produce 39 beats and release 39 commercials wit 39 new beats, in a row? It’s all about consistency! Till November 1, I guess, keep up tha grind! You gon get your luv shown, in due time!
