Reviewed on 8.12.2021 (Review #2,005)
 
 
Feels great to work durin’ tha night & sleep only three hours to get shit done! With that bein’ said, lemme finally get inta this review I’ve been wantin’ ta get to: Kmac Return Of The Mac, courtesy of Kmac Muzik! S/O to Kmac fa holdin’ tha ‘90s babies of Baton Rouge down! Kmac iz featured on my latest album, Autistic Stoner Rap, Vol. 1: A Trip To B.R., with our collab, “Fulla Dem Bitches Nah”! Tha track was produced by Dolla Bill Da Last Man & I’m releasin’ tha single & music video on Dolla Bill’s birthday, comin’ up on September 18th! Stay tuned fa dat! Fa now, let’s go Return Of The Mac style! Start Tyme: 2:54 PM | End Tyme: 3:32 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. “Intro”
>>> Sounds like tha production on point; reminds me of how you came through on “Josin’ Bad”, a lil’… Hearin’ what you got on tha verse & it sounds good; consistently deliverin’ tha heat fa tha B.R. streetz! Props fa “leanin’ fulla oil”; gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.0
 
 
02. “Tryna Get Sum Fame”
>>> Couldn’t catch tha ID of your producer’s tag, here, but it sounds like an anticipatin’ intro & beat…! Sounds like a dope hook; I almost thought you was gon have tha 2nd ½ of tha hook repeat, “I’m tryna get sum fame, I’m tryna get sum fame.” However, it’s still cool & you holdin’ it down…! Hearin’ you on tha verse & it sounds aight wit your flow but tha rhymes nice ta hear, here… As this continues, I don’t really catch on to tha fast rappin’ that err-body be tryna do. Like, I remember when I used ta do that, tryna shove full-on sentences in my barz, smh. Only one verse but it’s nice ta hear you wit you talkin’ yo shit on tha outro; good job… My Rating: 3.9
 
 
03. “Hotboy” feat. Sherwood Banga
>>> Wasn’t 100% sure how ta take that Sherwood dude on tha intro but I’m hearin’ him on tha hook & he aight. This sounds more like it’s forcin’ itself for mainstream exposure, based off this beat & how Sherwood Banga sounds. Once I hear tha word “opp,” I instantly think of tha generation we’re in, today. Anyway, hearin’ him on tha 1st verse & it cool fa me but more fa tha ‘90s babies, here; I’m an ‘80s baby. Still, nice collab; let’s see how you do, Miggy-Miggy-Mac… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse & it str8; you know what it iz wit these beatz… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
04. “Pull It Together”
How did you manage to get this track on all platforms? It has Trippie Redd on tha sample, throughout tha hook & it passed tha all-original test? I don’t get it… With that bein’ said, I like to call this a tribute track to photog-editor & rapper, Mofo, who got killed on his bike at only 24, last January. Hearin’ this again & yeah, despite chartin’ on my playlist, it’s prolly my least-favorite track from you but it’s not all tha way bad. It’s more on tha slow style & struggle/depression tip; regardless, I dig how you switch your flow up & tell your story, as well as throwin’ Trippie Redd on tha track’s sample. “I paint tha picture, like sprayin’ graffiti”; I luv how you spit whateva’s on your dome…! Good 2nd verse, too; glad you pulled “it together” ta make this one not so sad/boring… My Current Rating: 3.7
 
 
05. “Sometimes” feat. Boxx The Hungry Genius
>>> A lil’ slow on tha intro; sounds like this one’s worse than “Pull It Together”, based off tha slow vibe? Prolly coulda put this one at tha end of your album, since that’s where I hear most of tha slow tracks. Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & it’s aight; not really inta tha vibe, overall. I think this tha 3rd track in a row you mentioned your “daughter,” on tha 1st verse, if I’m not mistaken? Luckily, this track was saved by Boxx on tha 2nd verse, here; you can tell he serious about tha rhymes! Totally turned tha track’s vibe around with his non-stop rhymes; gotta dig ‘em! They’re 100% worth it! Keep brainstormin’, Boxx! Awesome job, despite this bein’ a mixed review for tha track, overall. My Rating: 3.5
 
 
06. “Love Hard” feat. Shun Baby
>>> Are tha songs gettin’ worse? Not feelin’ this intro & I definitely don’t need you on a-tune! That’s a drug I call tha “musical heroin”, smh. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pathetic; you don’t have to be too versatile! I’m a Multi-Media Master but I provide tha best/me in each lane. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s okay, even tho you gotta ditch tha voice-effect bullshit. Hearin’ that dude on tha 2nd verse & his voice sounds like a Yung Bleu or somethin’; I ain’t buyin’ it. My Rating: 1.2
 
 
½tyme: Was off to a nice start but seems like tha slower sounds are decreasin’ my ratings; not to mention, tha a-tune’s hurtin’ ya. Can you recover? Average release rating’s currently at a 3.4.
 
 
07. “Josin’ Bad”
Luv how this iz on here! A track I first heard as a story post of yours, back last April & later topped my playlist. Basically, it’s a short, 112-second approach on you “Josin’ Bad” on tha mic; gotta jose! Beat’s definitely dope & I luv how you “be fulla syrup, like a muthafuckin’ pancake!” This punchlines & club shit all in one; gotta luv your continuous rhymes! See, you only 110 seconds ta prove yourself in tha best way possible! My favorite part: “This ain’t ’99, bitch, don’t wear that big-ass tee, no mo!” It’s tha adlibs & how you make them sound that make this really entertainin’! Also, your ending line: “Leave a nigga ass dyed red, like a Easter egg”; props fa your brainstormin’ of street-related content!! My Current Rating: 4.9
 
 
08. “I’on Pop, I Chew” feat. Johnny Hu$tle
Speakin’ of luvin’ how “Josin’ Bad” was on here, I luv how this iz on here even more!! One of tha worst songs—not “worst” as in “bad” but “worst” as in what I finna say—one of tha worst songs to catch a withdrawal from, when you’re unable to hear it! Proof? See below:
That was me withdrawin’ after I couldn’t link wit Hu$tle, last March. Needless ta say, it’s still awesome & tha beat really takes me back to those dayz of Down Bad in tha club! Tha 1st track I done heard from you & it’s one of tha best anthems of tha later part of tha 2010’s; good job! Gotta luv that attitude: “I’on Pop, I Chew”; luv it! There’s actually a new song out by EDM artists, SAYMYNAME & Cara Hart called “HAPPY PILLZ”, where tha 2nd verse starts off with, “And, I swallow them one by one. Sometymes, I chew them all up like bubblegum; gum, gum, gum…” Instantly, I thought of this track & your chewin’ attitude of pillz, lol! Also, I luv how tha beat drops down low at 1:17; just luv tha energy & vibe of this whole track! Basically, one of tha leadin’ wayz to get me into pillz, as far as explorin’ video & music projects! Think: “Fulla Dem Bitches Nah”! As far as Johnny Hu$tle on tha 2nd verse, well, his whole pill-popped attitude’s definitely off tha chain! Makes me wanna alwayz hang wit him! However, we still neva shmoked together? Huh? Why?! Good-ole Hu$tle: “Like a helium balloon, fliest in tha room!” When tha beat drops down low at 2:23 wit Hu$tle spittin’ about all these pillz & shit, that shit’s just so fuckin’ infectious!! Definitely one fa tha history books, here! Luv how you go by “Mr. I’on Pop, I Chew”, as well, Mr. Miggy-Miggy-Mac! My Current Rating: 5.0
 
 
09. “I’on Pop, I Chew (Remix)” feat. Delwin The Krazyman
Back-to-back chewin’, like two pillz! Lol! It’s basically like bonus points fa you, as it’s still nice. Delwin comes through nicely fa you, courtesy of him really feelin’ tha beat; good shit! My Current Rating: 4.6
 
 
10. “Back On The Scale”
>>> Sounds like anotha dope beat from, I believe, that same producer I couldn’t ID, earlier… Tha hook sounds good with this beat but it sounds a lil’ off-beat? That’s what I hear out my ears… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I’m diggin’ how you holdin’ it down fa tha streetz, here; great content! Just not diggin’ that “bow” sample, as tha dude on tha “bow” played me three years ago, smh. Nice @ how tha beat drops down low @ 1:24; it’s like as if “I’on Pop, I Chew” had a street baby, lol! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s cool wit what you spittin’, here; even got some “I’on Pop, I Chew” quotes! Like I said, it’s its street bay-bay, lol! My Rating: 4.1
 
 
11. “LNA”
>>> S/O ta you reppin’ fa tha “LNA”, here; beat & hook cool, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit your rhymes; gotta put respeck on ‘em…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s cool; keep this shit goin’! Not much ta say but it’s str8; good shit… My Rating: 3.8
 
 
12. “Retaliation” feat. Ayn $lim
>>> Why tf do tha featured-artist tracks have to have a-tune & a more mainstream approach? Smh; too pop-rappy fa this generation with tha hook, even tho I like that “retaliate” part… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I can’t tolerate this; I would skip this but I’ll wait fa you, Kmac… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse & damn, you gotta have tha a-tune, too? Good rhymes, tho; not qualified for a good rating, tho. My Rating: 1.7
 
 
Overall: Thought this went over well, for tha most part. About half of this release was great, while tha other half str8-up bombed. If I had to give you advice, I would say to stick best to tha clubz & tha streetz. You don’t have to fall into a depression, despite tha opioid-induced tymes of tryna have a good high.
