Got work later tonight, so I gon get fulla dat shmoke fa dis review & then, them edibles ta make it through tha rest of tha night; gotta keep goin’! Can’t wait ta see what a high Hottest In The City review gon be like…! A commercial series promotin’ this edition of Hottest In The City may be on tha way; we’ll see how this goes…! Also, like tha cover says, this a dedication ta Mofo Shots (R.I.P.); can’t believe he passed. Photog-Editors like him & I do so much fa tha Louisiana scene; gotta keep strivin’ & grindin’! Start Time: 6:00 PM | End Time: 7:33 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. Mofo “Hollywood Emotions”

I’ll admit: I can’t even think of tha last time I did a Louisiana review, where I didn’t type out tha whole tracklist, 1^st. That’s tha way my reviewz should be, though it’s been years (prolly since, like, three years ago, with Da Real Gee Money’s G-Code)…! Now, let’s have some of that excitement back, as I prepare for tha BIG day, tha day after Spring starts!! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ dedication track…; him, here, on tha rappin’? Prolly…? Just usin’ my imagination, I guess, for now…? Originally, I wouldn’t think it would be my kinda track but I feel somethin’ special about it? I guess it’s tha shmoked-high…? That soulful singin’ & tha crazy/consistent-ass rappin’/southern vibe…!! My Rating: 4.7

EDIT: I finally looked & found tha back cover, seein’ that it went from a not-identified artist to Mofo! Nice!

02. Mofo “Cookies”

Here he go (officially or leadin’ up to?)…! >>> Not like tha previous song, as my imagination was somewhere on Cloud 9 or somethin’, lol… Either way, this dope wit tha voice, tripped-out feel & consistent rappin’ fa tha south, in its own way from tha 1^st song…! Glad he was a multi-media dude, like myself (I self-coined “Multi-Media Master,” as one of my titles, due to graduatin’ wit my Masters in Production, eight years ago)! My Rating: 4.6

03. Fredo Bang “The Box (Freestyle)”

As a nice way ta follow-up all his other music, I look forward ta exactly knowin’ how what his “Box” look like…! >>> Lol…! This iz so fucked up… (in such a great way); luv how he mimics tha original, wit his own “Box” story! A Baton Rouge-felt Fredo! I believe he my favorite, wit NLE Chop! However, for tha undaground, … “______” (that’s a special/better choice)! My Rating: 4.8

04. Nicole Monionno “Classy & Sassy”

What she gon brang, here…? >>> Sounds good fa a female, on tha southern tip. A lil’ bit of cheesy-soundin’ lyrics like “tic-tac-toe” & “eeny, miney, moe.” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse on this club-soundin’ vibe & I’m feelin’ tha southern shit she brangin’ to tha table. Tha 2^nd verse pretty dope wit how she keeps this shit goin’… My Rating: 4.0

05. Rocky Mountainz feat. VanDaMan “Damage”

I have a feelin’ they gon brang heat—9x heat? Even tho, this #05—ohhh, “9 – 5;” get it, lol? >>> Feelin’ what they brangin’ wit this heat, mane…! Somethin’ ‘bout how they comin’ wit it, as I knew they would…! Tha hook official wit this “Damage” shit! Feelin’ tha “Damage” they brang to tha city, ya dig? Sounds almost like emo trappin’, on tha 2^nd verse. Feels like an excellent way ta describe what this year’s great vibes gon be like…! My Rating: 4.8

06. International Joe feat. Dylan Cage, BBE AJ & Lil’ One The Champ “Who You Playin’ With”

Looks like it gon be an interestin’ collab, here… >>> Oh yeah, definitely feelin’ tha club vibe—pure, pure club vibe, on a cool, mainstream vs. Baton Rouge way! Great job wit tha hook & 1^st verse; I really feel Baton Rouge approachin’ soon! Tha 2^nd verse sound pretty dope; struck by tha consistent rhymes, on this club shit! I feel how Lil’ One comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse; definitely consistent, right here… I say that, in a true perspective, although on September 5, 2018, when havin’ a chance to meet, I got referenced ta Y.B. For Initials as, “I thought he [me] ain’t like me [Lil’ One]?” Weird but it’s all luv; that’s what these reviewz are for, right? Betterness?! My Rating: 4.7

07. Whop Bezzy “Birdmane”

Here goes some ape shit…!! >>> Definitely feelin’ tha true, Baton Rouge-soundin’ beat/vibe, here! Glad he keep tha consistency comin’ along! Met him three years ago, just as a pic in tha club. However, three years later (now), it would be cool if we linked up, on some shit. Him “rollin’ off an Addy & a Perc,” just luvin’ his streettastic life! I definitely feelz it…! My Rating: 4.8

08. YoungBoy Never Broke Again “Bad Bad”

[Reviewin’ this after not realizin’ it wasn’t SoundCloud-eligible…] >>> At least for YoungBoy, it has a Baton Rouge feel to it. Tha hook 50/50; he sound cool, tho a lil’ drowned in tha shitty auto-tune… Feelin’ tha energy he brangin’ to tha 1^st verse; a lil’ random wit how he spit but it str8… Tha short lil’ 2^nd verse aight; nothin’ ta really brag about, as this continues… My Rating: 3.6

09. YoungBoy Never Broke Again “Lil’ Top”

[Reviewin’ this after not realizin’ it wasn’t SoundCloud-eligible…] >>> Anotha okay/good production, tho drowned in tha auto-tune & mumblin’, on tha hook, smh… Tha 1^st verse ehh; just sounds like random rappin’, mixed wit some good lyrics? Then again, he fa err-body else fa support; I’m sure he don’t need me… Tha 2^nd verse sound cool ta hear, wit what he bringin’; not impressive fa me, tho it str8 ta hear… My Rating: 3.4

10. Whop Bezzy “Booted Up”
Mo from tha Bezz! >>> Sounds like some mo consistent shit he brangin’; this str8/dat heat… Liked tha otha track betta but this still str8/consistent… My Rating: 4.2

11. Playboy XO “Booted Up”

Gotta be “Booted Up!” >>> Wasn’t sure what ta thank about tha voice, here, but this pure heat! Definitely feelin’ how hype he iz, between tha hook, tha verse & how valuable he sound, lol! Definitely a vibe; all “out [tha] drawls” & err-thang!! My Rating: 4.9

12. A.u. feat. Bezo Luciano “2 Back”

Producer: Hustla

Definitely tha gold heat, here, thanx ta Hustla on tha track! Crazy! Three years ago, at this time, I was gearin’ up fa my 1^st Louisiana trip, wit “2 AM” (Benjamin Racks & Kell), produced by Hustla, bein’ that heat! Now, three years later, after hittin’ rock bottom, this huge feelin’ comes right “back,” wit this one! Yeah, “shout out Tha Antidote DJs;” gotta keep reppin’ hard! Wit that bein’ said, definitely luv how this iz pure into tha Baton Rouge scene, no matter tha day or time! Glad A.u. all fulla bein’ loaded, non-stop/all day, err-day! Definitely pure, includin’ how it’s all about throwin’ “2 Back,” “2-Back,” ya dig (get what I said in that sentence, there? Tha “2 Back” (no dash) means “2” as an amount, while tha “2-Back” (with dash) means “2” as “T-O,” lol. “#Loadedness!” Could that be a future title of mine, lol? Just made it up, thanx to that “2 Back”/“2-Back”ness, lol! Wit Bezo, definitely dope wit how he come through, all “loaded” (“I’m loaded”)! Got tha commercial series out now, till tha 31^st! Still got 20 episodes left!! I will be in multiple states, within these next 20!! Yeah, Bezo wants, “$1,500 fa a show,” so he can, “Show [his] ass;” so focused on dat bag…! Hope he embrace tha way tha budget rose! “Mr. Cut Up Bad!” My Current Rating: 5.0

13. SB feat. OG Supa & Mofo “Soulja Rag”

Ooh, anotha Mofo appearance, as well as all these peeps comin’ thru…! >>> Feelin’ this beat a whole lot; definitely focused on a mission! Tha 1^st verse’s pretty dope; definitely feelin’ what’s bein’ brought to tha table, here! Definitely sounds like some throwback-type Louisiana shit, like, tha early ‘00s! Definitely luvin’ how they comin’ through wit it! Tha 2^nd verse pretty dope; definitely feelin’ tha consistent rhymin’, all thru da south! Good shit from all y’all, consistent to tha fullest, here! Gotta luv dat south…!! My Rating: 4.9

14. HBL feat. Hot Boy Turk “Like ‘Em Hot”

Let’s keep it “hot!!” >>> Yeah, this pretty “hot” with tha typical bounce sample, as well as how HBL does tha damn thang, on tha 1^st verse. Feelin’ this full-on bounce/Louisiana vibe, to tha fullest! Tha hook pretty dope; definitely feelin’ how amped up & energetic it iz, of course…! Tha 2^nd verse pretty dope from HBL, as well; so in tha zone, it seems like…? Definitely nice! Turk providin’ “hot” shit throughout tha rest of this, as well; thought HBL owned tha track, tho! My Rating: 4.7

½time: Talk about dat “heat,” to tha fullest!! A 4.6-rated review! I gotta pick up tha pace, since it 6:55 PM & I gotta get ta work by 8:30 PM! With that bein’ said, “no cap!” You see it!

15. Giovelli “All A Dat”

Lol @ tha “A” for “Of”, here. Lookin’ like an “All-A-Dat” (dashes)? >>> Kinda sounds like white rap/emo trap-like shit fa Louisiana? A good hook, as well as decent verses; nothin’ too-too crazy ‘bout. Not wack, tho with all tha heat on this edition, this seems to fall far behind it…! My Rating: 3.5

16. Gunz Up Ent. “We Are BR”
Here they come! >>> Sounds like somethin’ hot; shout out ta all them! Big Lucci, TK WNE! Hook dope wit that hidden/random sample, as well as that bounce vibe! Luv tha deepness Lucc brings to tha 1^st verse, here! Tha hook’s pretty infectious; can’t get away from tha title! That’s how much it sticks in yo veins!! Neva heard tha chick on tha 2^nd verse b4 but she sounds dope, fa this vibe; good contribution, courtesy of tha Gunz Up click! Tha 3^rd verse sounds dope; shout out ta TK WNE…! All about that full representation fa “BR!” My Rating: 4.6

17. DB Kash “Turn Around”

Keepin’ it movin’… >>> Sounds pretty nice, fa tha clubz; can’t complain… Tha 1^st verse pretty nice; a 2 Chainz-like dude, with tha voice/flow? Sounds good fa that kinda mirrored audio, lol… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t bad, here; okay, compared ta tha rest of these tracks… My Rating: 3.8

18. Deezy feat. Kocaine “Diddy Bop”

What gon be next…? >>> Funny that I spelled his name like WNC Whop Bezzy, at first & then, corrected myself. Then, he says in tha 1^st verse, “Two Es & one Z,” lol; instantly answered my thoughts, lol. With that bein’ said, Deezy comin’ through wit nice shit, throughout tha 1^st verse & hook; definitely nice! Tha 2^nd verse from

tha Caine sounds str8; nice lil’ track, though might be behind many… My Rating: 4.1

19. Bezo Luciano “Spinnin’ Like Taz”

Oh boy…! >>> Holy fuck, how hype he iz…!! Just luv how he constantly “spinnin’,” on tha hook!! Tha 1^st verse pretty dope wit how he in total G-mode, when it comes ta this shit! Good, continuous, hyped-up shit on tha 2^nd verse, here; sounds nice, though I thought tha 1^st verse was a lil’ catchier. My Rating: 4.8

20. Yannie Badazz “I Don’t Wanna Make Luv”

[Reviewin’ this after not realizin’ it wasn’t SoundCloud-eligible…] I couldn’t find this anywhere online… Might have ta review this in a few weeks; I may get a hard copy from you, Tremon! My Rating: N/A

21. Breezy Bre “Lil’ Secret”

What will she brang, after all tha bouncin’ from tha last edition? >>> This sounds like one of those tracks that may sound nice at your club, tho not really fa me… A lil’ softie, like ice cream, here, on tha hook? She sounds like a rappin’ Crystal Waters, on tha 1^st verse; cool/okay fa me… I feel like tha 2^nd verse sounds like a teaspoon of tha Crystal Waters voice, then drowned into “auto-tune corna!” My Rating: 2.8

22. Mofo “Three”

Keepin’ it goin’ wit Mo shit, if you get my capital “M!” >>> Sounds like a cool/decent lil’ laidback vibe… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds like an okay story. Flow/beat kinda repetitive, with not much catchiness poppin’ up, here & there… As tha 2^nd minute approaches, it sounds like it’s gettin’ a lil’ catchier wit tha lyrics, here… My Rating: 3.7

23. Mofo “Dooky Chase Mini Peach”

A cake, lol? >>> Sounds cool, in a laidback way. This one got str8-up rhymes, though tha beat has better changin’ up than tha previous track. I’m not really tha biggest on laidback-soundin’, semi-NY-soundin’ beats, tho this sound cool wit how Mofo spit on it. I’m not dickridin’ ‘cause he no longer here; I’m givin’ props fa his take on this… My Rating: 4.3

24. Lil’ Garrey feat. Yasi “Something To Talk About”

Wonder how dis one gon go…? >>> More on tha R&B/slower vibe; guess this edition’s nice & in a chronological/organized order? Like, as tha night started, vs. it endin’? By tha end of tha night, this’ll seem like I’m all stuck in its laidback zone (zoned out)! With that bein’ said, I’m not tha biggest on a beat like this & tha 1^st verse aight… I’m kinda diggin’ how tha 2^nd verse soundin’, wit that voice; cool rhymes, as well… Almost thought that was a mix of Lil’ One The Champ & Quick on tha 3^rd verse, lol; sounds okay, regardless… My Rating: 3.0

25. Kay Lashae “Resolution”

Keepin’ it movin’… >>> Sounds like an Alessia Cara or someone, in tha beginning… Sounds like an interestin’, really-zoned-out R&B vibe, as if your night’s endin’, lol; I can hear it! Though I somewhat-outgrew some of this type of music, sometimes, one joint’ll come, here & there; this one of ‘em. My Rating: 4.4

26. Rocky Mountainz “OHHH”
”OHHH,” here comes tha Mountainz, again! >>> Sounds good, on tha 1^st verse; almost sounds like a mainstream/jacked beat, here? That’s just a view I get off it, vs. tha way tha beginning of this mixtape went. Got tha 2^nd verse, here, couldn’t “even take a shit;” deep…, lol. Rhymes cool; this was good/str8… My Rating: 4.3

27. Bald Head B feat. Jaye London “My Plug Is A Negro”

Oh boy…; I remember seein’ this title from somewhere, very recently… >>> Sounds dope, fa a slower street/trap vibe…; very catchy-soundin’ hook! Now, that’s a voice fa this “plug,” ya dig? Got tha pure, southern heat, on tha 1^st verse; definitely focused!! Cool-focused, that iz! Tha 2^nd verse sounds cool; I fux widdit, as well…! My Rating: 4.5

28. Mofo “Rain Man”

Endin’ wit… >>> I’m likin’ how he vibes off this soulful beat; sounds nice wit what he has ta offer, in this high of his…! Cool rhymes & shit; tha vibe of tha beat not really fa me. I actually get a sad vibe off it, especially since he passed… I like how it fade out ta tha end, as I see sound approachin’… “It’s M.O.B., you bastards!;” there it iz! My Rating: 3.2

Overall: Pretty dope, here; tons of heat!! Great job wit how you put this together, as well as err-body that contributed! Keep bringin’ tha heat! Fiya…! Turn-up time approachin’; can’t wait!! Commercial-series time approachin’, most likely; can’t wait!!
