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. Famous “Lucky (Long Live J-Dirty Intro)”
Producer: Big Wayne
Yeah, it was such a tragedy ta lose Dirty seven months ago today. He was an ‘80s baby in his 30’s like us who really put tha city of BR on. Glad he put in lots of work; R.I.P.! >>> Thought that sounded like Mista Cain in tha beginning; nice lil’ “Abadie” flava to hype ‘em up! As far as tha song itself, it sounds nice with this dude’s energy & Big Wayne’s laidback, Baton Rouge street-based production… Hearin’ tha hook & it nice; good intro track, here! Luv tha energy in tha hook but it overshadows tha darker, unlucky side of tha street life. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope wit tha consistent rhymin’; props on tha energy! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds good; dope, even tho sometymes, I get distracted from feelin’ like I’m bein’ preached by these lyrics. My Rating: 4.3
 
 
02. Draftpik “Hottest In The City”
Full-on Hottest In The City title, here, for tha series! >>> Chick? Didn’t expect a chick wit Draftpik as their name… Sounds like an okay lil’ hook; at least tha beat on some Baton Rouge club-like shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it an okay track; I don’t really fw too many female rappers, so tha ratings don’t usually shine bright wit me. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I’ont really gotta say anythang. Ironic that she’s right about “put you ta sleep like tha seats heated” ‘cause I feel like it can bore too easily. My Rating: 2.6
 
 
03. Dylan Cage “On ‘Em”
>>> Nice intro from Dylan, here; good shit. I have yet ta meet Dylan & shit; I know he know about me. It’s just, I hadn’t had much of an opportunity ta connect wit him. As far as this track goes, thumbs up fa him bein’ “fulla doe-doe” & how he comes through on this Baton Rouge club beat! His voice just okay fa me but he knows how ta make a nice club banga like this, at least; good effort. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty nice wit tha club energy; keep it up! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & yeah, I’m feelin’ tha jigged-out presence, here! Gots to have a “jigga” in yo life, at some point! Luv how tha vibe reminds me of when I first got inta Louisiana rap music’s undaground, durin’ tha November 27, 2007 review I did for Jimmy The DJ’s Gangsta Gumbo, Vol. 1 mixtape! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
04. Breezy Bre “Punch You Down!”
>>> Likin’ this return of tha club-rap style from her, here; good hook & beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I’m likin’ how she all tha way focused, courtesy of tha “bleezy in [her] hand!” Like I previously said, I don’t immediately jump for joy wit tha female rappers but I’m glad Breezy at least keepin’ tha energy up fa tha 225, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it str8; nothin’ really fa me ta say, in addition ta what I already said, here. My Rating: 3.8
 
 
05. No Shoes feat. Geno “Out My Top”
Geno as in Geno Saladin? I wonder, especially since I literally just did a tribute video for my boy, Mr. Saladin… >>> Sounds like a hyped-up intro, here; definitely in tha mood fa it…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty lit; good shit, y’all! Gotta stay “out [tha] top,” especially on this Baton Rouge production! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & this shoesless dude soundin’ nice; keep tha energy up! Got tha Geno dude on tha 2nd verse & he don’t sound like Mr. Saladin but I know I done heard this Geno in tha past. Good contribution wit Mr. Shoesless No Shoes, here; gotta luv tha club vibe, 100%! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
06. Amber Jewelz “Beast Attitude”
>>> New synth of tha YoungBloodZ & Lil’ Jon’s “Damn”, 18 years later? Sounds good fa tha Rouge, here; almost thought it was a dude on tha mic, at first… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; lyrics just a regular-soundin’ mainstream vibe fa me, overall. “Got a flow so hot, tha mic might melt”; good line, right there. Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; I like this title for a chick/club vibe… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I can agree wit tha “no tattoos; got a fear of tha needle” line. I mean, I ain’t got a “fear” but I tend to leave my body alone. I’d rather peep out peoples’ tattoos & hope they make me feel important. As far as tha rest of tha track, it’s whateva. My Rating: 3.5
 
 
07. D Boy “Blow A Bag”
>>> Not really crazy about tha title or tha beginning of tha lyrics, in tha hook. However, this sounds like it’s somethin’ nice, between tha Rougetastic production & Rougetastic D Boy on tha mic… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s consistent; keep bein’ “on that dumb shit”! Likin’ how tha beat decides to change into an eerie vibe, toward tha pre-hook part; good shit. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds cool; likin’ how tha eerie part from tha pre-hook sounds like there’s less vocals. It’s like, a full-on zoned feelin’ for tha eerie beat part! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
08. Mack Tony “Bricks”
>>> Sounds like a Louisiana version of Trae Tha Truth? A more Atlanta, typical mainstream-soundin’ beat? I’ono but we’ll see… Hearin’ tha beat mixin’ from 0:26 – 0:28 & it’s pretty dope how it repeats to grab your attention…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; just an okay lil’ street track fa me, here. Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s str8; nothin’ too-too excitin’ about tha vibe, except when tha beat repeats b4 tha hook. My Rating: 3.6
 
 
09. Miss Portia feat. Ice Doll “Closet Freak”
>>> Likin’ tha bouncier vibe but not really inta this track, between tha closeted hook & it bein’ a female track, overall. Good collab between Miss Portia & Ice Doll fa tha clubz but mainly for tha ladies. As far as me, I’d rather move on to tha next track… My Rating: 1.7
 
 
10. Finea$$ Music “Bounce”
>>> Definitely not diggin’ tha vocals from this female; why a-tuned? Also, tha money content; gtfoh!! “Bounce” vibe & beat wasted, here; tyme ta keep it goin’…! My Rating: 1.0
 
 
11. T-Dot feat. Bezo Luciano “Like Dat”
Geez, now a blocked-featured artist?? Tremon, you gotta pick up tha quality!! >>> Sounds like a hyped-up beat for this decent-soundin’ Dot dude. Kinda sounds like if Jimi Jump was back in his teens/early 20’s? Decent, includin’ tha hook; too bad I only was able to listen to 0:53 of it, due to bein’ blocked by tha guest feature! Also, as of this March 14, I’m even more disgusted in tha feature for blockin’ me a whole year to tha day of when my uncle suddenly passed! It’s like, absolutely NO recovery from that moment!! *Stops at 0:53* My Rating: 3.8
 
 
12. Tha G.T. “How I’m Livin’”
>>> Glad to hear G.T. back & that he stayin’ motivated, like a true ‘80s baby in their 30’s should. I’ve neva really been tha craziest about his beat choices but I’ll let this “C.R.E.A.M.”-inspired production in, on my interest… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it cool; I dig how he comin’ through fa you, here, Tremon. Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I’m really feelin’ all tha energy in those sirens & “how [G.T.] livin’,” in 2K21! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool; consistent rhymes, so I’ll give him props fa dat. My Rating: 4.1
 
 
13. Pubmos “Daf”
I’m expectin’ anotha random female, here… >>> Sounds like an okay track; now, we’re on a hyphy, West Coast-styled production? Sounds like an okay White dude, if so? Just figurin’ out who they can be, based off of this 1st listen; not bad but I’ono if it’s a full-on Hottest In The City club vibe… Figured that tha title stood for “Dope As Fuck,” here; that’s what it do. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like dry energy wit tha delivery. Just seems like a lil’ bit of reading-like, with tha flow’s sound; a lil’ bit of energy applied toward tha end of tha verse, at least… My Rating: 3.4
 
 
½tyme: A few misses, as well as decent & good tracks; seems like a banana split of likings & dislikings? A 3.4-rated release, so far; let’s see if we can pick back up…!
 
 
14. Bo$$mane Dre “Trap Never Closed”
>>> I wanna say that it’s cool when I hear tha hook but it sounds like a typical-soundin’ rap song & perspective of today’s world. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it okay; like, what exactly iz ‘posed to spark my liking to lovin’, here? Don’t really hear nothin’; it’s just an always-open “trap,” basically. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it just sounds like blah, blah, blah; nothin’ ta say… Am I hearin’ “2010 ain’t stoppin’ nothin’”? Like, ’10? My Rating: 3.1
 
 
15. Chevy Jade “Opinions”
>>> Why does some rhyme/preach-like rappin’ like this need to have a-tune ruin it? Like, what’s wrong wit these peoples’ point of views? It affects my “Opinions” tremendously! Just a typical-soundin’ trap beat wit a-tune in tha way… Tha 2nd verse iz here & I just shut it off at 1:24; no more voice bullshit! *Stops at 1:24* My Rating: 1.0
 
 
16. GeeMoney Pimpin’ “I’m On It”
Producer: Austin On Tha Track
>>> Four years after tha killin’ of Austin, here he posthumously comes with this track fa his Off Tha Meter patna, GeeMoney Pimpin’. Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; why tha title part had ta have a-tune ruin it? Ugh! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I’ono, I thought I woulda liked Gee & Austin’s combination betta. If tha production was more on a Baton Rouge tip than soundin’ like your everyday trap-rap shit, it woulda been betta & less borin’ fa me. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like a hidden feature? I’ono; I guess it’s an okay contribution. Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s anotha hidden feature? Don’t really know but their rhymes are betta than tha 2nd verse’s. Still, a lil’ long fa this mixtape? How did this go on three verses & just kept goin’? My Rating: 2.8
 
 
17. OCG Peso feat. OCG Sheppard “Bottle After Bottle”
>>> Sounds like an okay production wit tha “Give Me That” sample in tha background, at tymes… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; can’t deny when tha OCG gang comes through… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool ta hear, as well; keep tha club vibes up, err-body! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
18. Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT “Steppin’ Like”
Producer: Playa Pizzle
Oh boy; this got lucky to shine on tha final Hottest In The City! Seen it ID’d in so many various wayz:
  • JT OMG x Johnny Hustle
  • JT OMG x Johnny Hu$tle
  • JT OMG feat. Johnny Hustle
  • JT OMG feat. Johnny Hu$tle
  • OMG JT x Johnny Hustle
  • OMG JT x Johnny Hu$tle
  • OMG JT feat. Johnny Hustle
  • OMG JT feat. Johnny Hu$tle
  • Johnny Hu$tle x JT OMG
  • Johnny Hu$tle x OMG JT
  • Johnny Hu$tle feat. JT OMG
  • Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT
  • Johnny Hustle x JT OMG
  • Johnny Hustle x OMG JT
  • Johnny Hustle feat. OMG JT
  • Johnny Hustle feat. JT OMG
 
My personal choice was OMG JT x Johnny Hu$tle, to define that they both collaborated on tha hook. However, after watchin’ Hu$tle interview JT on “Friday Night Flows”, I found out that JT reached out to Hu$tle. So, now, I understand tha Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT; I always thought it was all tha way OMG Da Label & not all tha way Hustlemania, here. Needless to say, this a dope collab, of course; luv how Hu$tle & JT combine their vibes on tha hook, here! Hope I can party wit them, one day—still waitin’ on a Hu$tle party! Anything Hu$tle a part of iz a straight-up addiction or potential one, I feel like! Luv how he brought a lot outta JT, here; hope for tha best wit tha OMG fam! Also, Hu$tle consistent as shit wit tha lines, in his verse; his “bruh-bruhs,” lol! Also, tha “-ank”-endin’ lines; that’s Hu$tle for ya! Will he be worth $1,001.83 for a feature, one day? We’ll have ta see…! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
19. HBO 2 Of ‘Em “Time Today”
Strange stage name for HBO… >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat to kick thangz off, here; how will tha HBO dude do…? Sounds like a good dose of energy on tha hook, here; definitely nice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it cool; gotta have tha energy in you! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it pretty hype; gotta hold it down fa tha 2-2-5! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
20. No Shoes “Limelight”
>>> Cool Baton Rouge-soundin’ production fa tha streetz & clubz, here; I digz it. Hearin’ tha verse & it aight; just seems like a quick lil’ 96 seconds, overall? Just a bunch of rappin’ ta hold it down, it seems like… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
21. Queen Leelo “Juggathon”
>>> Thought by seein’ tha “Jugg” in tha title that it was gon be more on tha jiggin’ tip. Too bad I mistook tha “U” vowel as if it was an “I”, smh. Not really feelin’ how this chick’s comin’ through on this; just sounds like a mainstream track wit this beat. Like, who else ain’t “chasin’ dat bag”? Tha worst topic because I neva see it come my way! Can’t even register tha rest of this as any form of interest in me; that’s just my opinion, tho. My Rating: 1.1
 
 
22. Slim Simaa “Before Our Eyes Close”
>>> Thought it woulda been a dude but it’s faster-soundin’ R&B…, with tha a-tune fuckin’ shit up, too, smh. I just can’t take these vocals serious; when will tha world eliminate tha shitty-ass a-tune? No wonder why I keep plenty of my good clothes & vibes from 2008! If people can keep stupid a-tune, why not me keep all my ’08 shit? That’s just me, of course…! Tha 2nd verse of this almost sounds like as if this chick woulda been a guest on a Down Bad track wit Jack Da Rippa or somethin’. Sounds like similar flowin’ of tha singin’ but it’s still shitty fa me, overall. My Rating: 1.8
 
 
23. Miss Portia feat. Cupid “For My Ladies”
>>> It’s been 14 years since “Cupid Shuffle” & still, Cupid runs wit that “new Cupid!” shit… With that bein’ said, as far as this track, tha singin’ sounds more serious than tha humorous previous track on here. It’s not for me, overall; not inta this R&B-type shit of today, as it seemed to be left off in tha 2000’s, somewhere. Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t too-too bad from Mr. “(New) Cupid”, here… Of course, he had ta throw in tha “got good money” shit, like 2021 R&B really needs tha rapper perspectives, too? Also, Cupid on tha 2nd verse & it’s serious for an R&B tip. Still, how did this get lucky ta be 3:50 long? I hate soundin’ uninterested but I gotta keep it real fa my 32-years-11-months-and-10-dayz-old-ass. My Rating: 1.1
 
 
24. Tchi feat. Duke “Last Night”
>>> This chick starts off nice with her fuckin’, in tha beginning of tha 1st verse. However, way too slow & sappy ta nearly end this mixtape off. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & there’s nothin’ of interest fa me, here; just anotha R&B-B vibe that got lost up in this mixtape. Hearin’ tha Duke dude on tha 2nd verse & I’m likin’ his Baton Rouge-soundin’ voice fa tha rappin’, here. Not tha most excitin’-type of lyrics but I would like ta see how he comes through wit some Baton Rouge-soundin’ rap jointz, one day… My Rating: 1.5
 
 
25. OMGJaycee “All Good”
>>> Thought it woulda been really hype wit tha OMG representa, here; just seems okay wit tha hook & beat, so far… Hearin’ dude’s voice & tha vibe, here, soundin’ like tha late Twelve A’Klok ta me… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; basically, it just sounds like plain-ole rappin’, overall. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s boring; nothin’ poppin’ ‘bout these rhymes. Like, tha last part of tha 2nd verse dealt with loneliness? Sounds like me but I keep myself as productive as can be; avoid tha sadness, if so! My Rating: 3.3
 
 
26. Defboi Matrix “Doin’ My Shit”
>>> Beat aight & tha hook sounds good; sounds like a non-Baton Rouge native, based off how they sound? It ain’t too-too bad, overall, as tha 1st verse sounds like flashin’ success? Guess that’s tha “recipe”? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s whateva; I seem ta get bored wit these tracks easily, just based off how tha 2nd verses seem like blah-blah-blah, when there’s no feature… My Rating: 3.2
 
 
27. Yotsai “Girlfriend”
>>> Sounds like it can be its own club anthem, if treated right? Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like tha vocals/beat combo’s too loud, as far as tha masterin’ goes? That’s just me but it’s a pretty energetic anthem, here… Lots of “dick” bein’ offered on tha end of tha hook; at least it’s a chant to catch attention… Feelin’ tha “throw it back” chant on tha 1st verse, as well; keep it goin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s good fa just four barz, like tha 1st verse; a quick way to catch tha attention. Overall, I’m glad there’s energy ta end this off but it’s just an okay type of energy fa me. My Rating: 3.0
 
 
Overall: Didn’t seem like it was somethin’ special to review but I reviewed it ta show luv—my luv, that iz. Lots of female vibes ta break up tha continuous club vibes I’m used to, when it comes to tha Hottest In The City series. Also, tha a-tuned garbage got in tha way too many tymes. Not too many highlights on this edition but we’ll see how tha Trippy Tuesdays series turns out, wheneva I decide on reviewin’ those.

R.I.P. Video #80: Dre Tree Z



Recorded May 20, 2021

Broadcasting from Ricketts Glen, here in Benton, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Rondra Javal Bell, known by his stage name, Dre Tree Z, passed away on Monday, May 17, 2021, from congestive heart failure; he was only 43 years-old.

Bell was born on September 26, 1977, in Pineville, LA. Bell was tha cousin of Morganza, LA-based rapper, P.I.R. & tha brother of Simmesport, LA-based graphic designer, Big Roy. Bell would cook but would be more known in tha world of media as tha producer for Legal Dope Records; Bell was behind P.I.R.'s greatest underground contributions of tha early 2010's. In 2011, P.I.R. released his single, "Who I Are", which was produced by Dre Tree Z. "Who I Are" was featured on legendary promoter, FrankieThaLuckyDog's "Tha Louisiana Pit" radio show, airing on September 17, 2011. "Who I Are" was also featured on Frankie's Tha Louisiana Archives, Vol. 8: Cold On Tha Mic mixtape, released on December 22, 2011. "Who I Are" received two nominations on Frankie's 4th Annual Louisiana Awards of 2011, for Louisiana Song Of Tha Year & Louisiana Hook Of Tha Year. Bell also produced anotha two-tyme nominated track by P.I.R., "Dirty Game We Play"; "Dirty Game We Play" was nominated for Louisiana Song Of Tha Year & Louisiana Street Anthem Of Tha Year on Frankie's 5th Annual Louisiana Awards of 2012. Bell continued to produce more tracks for P.I.R. & in 2014, P.I.R. released his debut, Who I Are (Da Mixtape), courtesy of Legal Dope Records. Due to Dre Tree Z & P.I.R.'s collaboration hype, on April 19 & 20, 2015, FrankieThaLuckyDog reviewed tha release live in both tha Harlem Valley & Kings Park psychiatric centers. On December 18, 2017, Who I Are (Da Mixtape) ranked #18 on FrankieThaLuckyDog's "FTLD'z Top 20 Louisiana CDs During His Connection" video countdown, solidifyin' its quality, 225-but-not-exactly-from-Baton-Rouge's-225 street vibe. As tyme was movin' into tha 2020's, Bell's heart was not working 100% of tha tyme. Durin' November 2020, Bell suffered a near-fatal heart attack but was saved by brother, BJ. Doctors then hit tha Bell family with tha news that Bell had approximately six months left to live. Fearing to spread an eerie feeling of anxiety, Bell kept his conditions a secret. Then, on May 17, 2021, Bell fatally suffered from congestive heart failure. Despite callin' 911, Bell was already pronounced dead when tha paramedics arrived at tha scene. Had Bell lived to see September 26th this year, he woulda celebrated his 44th birthday.

Recorded April 7, 2021

Broadcasting from tha steel mill, here in East Stroudsburg, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Rayfel Matta, Jr., known by his stage name, Rambo & later, Rambo K Kutta, was murdered in Baton Rouge, LA, on tha 5500 block of McClelland Drive on Saturday, April 3, 2021, at around 6:00 PM; he was only 34 years-old. Matta was movin' around toward a convenience store's front entrance when a gunshot struck him. Twelve dayz later, on April 15th, a 16 & 17-year-old teen were arrested by tha Louisiana State Police Task Force, as well as tha Attorney General Fugitive Apprehension. Tha teens were later booked into Juvenile Detention, where they were charged with both second-degree murder & illegally using a weapon.

Matta was born on August 21, 1986, representin' tha '80s Babies in Our 30's click; Matta was a native of Baton Rouge, LA. Matta caught tha attention of Black Balloon Baton Rouger, Ray Vicks; Matta started his rap career off by goin' by just "Rambo", collaboratin' with Vicks on his 2010 release, 36 Os Later. Matta kept his reputation in tha streets goin' from Baton Rouge & even throughout other coasts, collaboratin' with Baton Rouge's then-Lil' Boosie, Cain Muzik Mafia & Zoe Realla. Durin' 2016, DJ Killa Touch & Kool DJ Supamike hosted his Squirm G-collaborated Drugs-N-Jewelz mixtape, as Matta continued to put that Black Balloon on. Matta kept tha underground streetz on lock until Saturday, April 3, 2021, where he was gunned down outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge, LA.

#FrankCalhoune #AutisticStonerRap #LuckyDogzEntertainment #InfaRed


Breakdown of Frank Calhoune's Lyrics:

"And, you know what it iz (uh)!"
- Officially tha 1st beat I heard to write lyrics to, on September 7, 2020, though my finalized lyrics were composed three dayz later. After shmokin' that good, Louisiana weed, I had to channel tha right energy & perspective ta come through on Infa Red's beat. I based tha perspective on bein' able ta be one of tha only white boyz ta go through tha trenches wit Louisianimals.

"Mane, I know what it iz; I be feelin' ducked-off, huh!
Got me in da trenches wit li' Infa, feelin' mucked-off!"
- Since my troubles, I've been "feelin' ducked-off" with presentin' myself, where I'm at. That's why, I choose ta engage in activities "in da trenches," in Louisiana; "in da" ruins, on tha Northeast.

"And, I know what it do, when I'm comin' wit my crew, huh!

Preachin' out da blues, when I'm drummin' out da rules!"

- Though I ride solo a lot, "when" I do move around "wit my crew," it feels good to productively look out fa tha Louisianimals. My "rules" come from bein' able ta lead; you gon listen to my "blues"!

"Mane, I know what it be; freshest clothes on me, huh!
Catchin' wit a fee; precious goals I need!"

- I rock some of tha dopest fashion, thanx to tha '80s babies I'm inspired by. Any goal I wanna achieve, I achieve it, no matter tha "fee"!

"And, I know what it sound, when I'm shmokin' on da pound, huh!
Flyin' inbound, outbound, thru da town!"

- Gotta luv "shmokin' on" good weed! I've flown "inbound" & "outbound" to Louisiana a total of eight tymes, since March 26, 2017.

"Mane, I know what it read, when I hit 'em wit da facts, huh!
Waves be infrared, wit Infa Red, all on wax!"

- Just lettin' tha "facts" be known, courtesy of tha "waves" that "be infrared," when I rap "wit Infa Red".

"And, I know what it need, when I get 'em out dey greed, huh!
Crankin' up da speed, drippin' on 'em like I bleed!"

- To get someone "out dey greed" gon be a mission I'll have ta accomplish. Dealin' wit money-hungry people that are only about "all money in, no money out" don't sit well wit me. Either way, no matter tha fee, when I do crank "up da speed" & drip "on 'em like I bleed," I know my presence transitions into tha best moments in life.
