As
I step away from my chaotic, continuously-busy schedule, I gots ta show luv ta
my boy, DJ Tremon! I finna review his newest release, which I’m a part
of, Hottest In The City 11: Best Of Both Worlds (Deluxe Edition) (Hosted
by DJ Bobby), courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment! Tremon just celebrated
his 36th birthday, earlier on tha 14th; props ta us ‘80s
babies in our 30’s! I have tha honor of bein’ a part of this mixtape, so shout
out ta Tremon fa lettin’ me submit to tha tape! Can’t wait ta hear what we got
in store, this tyme! Let tha energy begin, so us as listeners can channel it! Start Tyme: 5:01 PM | End Tyme: 6:17 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.
No Shoes “Pass Me Some Water”
>>> Nice intro from tha both of y’all… Sounds like an okay start; almost thought there was gonna be more goin’ on with tha beat (e.g., cymbals)… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds good; this seems more like a street-club track than a club track tryna be street. Sounds pretty nice with tha hook, here; S/O to that “Mack truck,” too… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & S/O to No Shoes fa reppin’ dat 225/“Jigga City”, as he says…! My Rating: 4.2
02.
Boxx The Hungry Genius feat. DJ B Real “Make ‘Em Move”
Producer: EQ Tha Misfit
Thought it was “Make ‘Em Move”? Also, surprisingly, B Real took tha dash out his name, recently, as he told me that it was mixin’ up with tha B-Real from Cypress Hill. What’s crazier iz it actually changed him as a person. I can’t believe that by just takin’ a dash outta your name that you’d change on people; not musically but as a person. With tha name changing, it’s a similar situation with what happened with my LuckyDogz Entertainment label. When I went to register it on ASCAP, I couldn’t have “Lucky Dogz” with a space, so I took it out. Anywayz, as far as this joint, it sounds nice & catchy with B on tha hook & EQ on tha beat… Like, I love how he so in to tha “beat like this,” lol. Hearin’ Boxx on tha 1st verse & as alwayz, gotta luv tha consistent rhymes & vicious deliveries! Good shit, Boxx; gotta feel tha 2nd verse, too! Glad this one can keep Boxx goin’ fa tha whole rest of tha year! My Current Rating: 4.5
03.
Johnny Hu$tle “Run It”
Producer: Playa Pizzle
Got ta peep this one out, courtesy of tha B.R.U.H. app. Feelin’ how Playa P got tha catchy beat goin’ on fa Hu$tle, here…! Almost sounds familiar with that noise sound in tha beat? Cool rhymes from Hu$tle fa tha streetz of B.R.; just wish this had a hook at least… My Current Rating: 4.2
04.
Grasa 100 feat. HD4President & PC “1221 (Remix)”
Looks weird on tha “1221” but’ll prolly be catchy. >>> Beat sounds nice & upbeat, as this mixtape continues; gotta dig it…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Grasa & was that a burp, lol? Glad he inta tha track & tha verse was on point fa tha clubz, here…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s dope; I get tha “1221” shit, as it’s “1-2-2-1,” like countin’ up & countin’ down… Hearin’ that HD dude on tha 2nd verse & even tho it’s cool that he got mainstream exposure, I just can’t see me takin’ him too serious. Like, he had to have a voice effect on his vocals? Not to mention, he’s a lil’ ugly? Also, too focused on bullshit like money… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from tha PC dude & he raps on tha beat pretty nicely, here. Props on tha “Addy” but too focused on money lines, at tymes? My Rating: 3.9
05.
HD4President feat. Slimm Nasty “Doin’ My Step”
More HD… >>> Sounds like a good lil’ hook & beat; surprised he ain’t abandon tha B.R. scene, based off his unexpected selloutness… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & HD sounds a lot betta on this track; great energy & vibes on this track…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Slimm & it’s pretty much up there; mo great energy! My Rating: 4.2
06.
Dolla Bill feat. Big Flame Thrower “P Booty”
Producer: Dolla Bill Da Last Man
Glad ta see you fuckin’ wit Dolla Bill Da Last Man & fa includin’ this one on here! Gotta luv that beat from Dolla Bill, includin’ tha hook wit Big Flame Thrower collabin’ wit Dolla Bill as Da Baton Rouge Boyz…! Dolla Bill holds down tha 1st verse with his character for tha luv of tha “booty” & does tha damn thang on tha track…! Gotta luv when tha beat drops down low, too, as Dolla Bill holds it down fa tha “booty”—“P Booty”, that iz! Luv how he premiered this one fa me when I was in tha yo wit him, back in February! As far as Big Flame Thrower on tha 2nd verse, he contributes good shit, too; all about tha good vibes! My Current Rating: 4.6
07.
Tha G.T. “Back On My Grizzy”
Speakin’ of “glad ta see,” I’m glad ta see G.T. back, too! Let’s hear his approach fa 2021 Louisiana rap…! >>> Glad he chose a Baton Rouge-type production ta let it be known, here! Sounds great ta hear him on tha 1st verse; gotta luv tha “red eyez” ‘cause you know we stay loaded every day! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty dope; glad he “back on [his] grizzy!” Feelin’ himself even more on tha 2nd verse with what he spittin’, here; definitely what’s up! Gotta keep it goin’, no matta what age we reach! Props fa tha energy…! My Rating: 4.6
08.
Kocaine “Dancing In The Clouds”
>>> Sounds like tha energy just died? Not feelin’ Koc’s voice this tyme… He had ta have a-tune? Hard ta get interested in commentin’ this one… No comment on tha hook; doesn’t even seem like somethin’ to get high to “in the clouds,” smh… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s whateva; tha “shmokin’ good” shit don’t even impress me, here… My Rating: 1.5
09.
Lucky Starr “Baton Rouge Baby”
>>> Heard her a few years ago & she aight; smh @ tha 2nd line with tha “racks in my pocket.” Like, look how quick it takes for a money line ta appear, smh…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it sounds okay. Once she raps about “Hurricane Katrina,” it makes me feel like this sounds more New Orleans than Baton Rouge, based off this vibe… “I ditch my old boo…”; all these chicks goin’ tha lesbian route, these dayz? Crazy; wouldn’t expect it… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s okay; not much ta comment on, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it str8; not much else ta say, here… My Rating: 3.0
10.
Breezy Bre “A Lil’ Different”
>>> Beat sounds mainstream & plain, here, like DaBaby’s shit… Iz that a-tune on your voice, Tremon? I literally thought you dipped into that shit fa this intro, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & Breezy’s rhymes are on tha consistent tip, here. I feel her rhymes more than Lucky Starr’s but not this beat, even tho Lucky Starr’s seemed more 504 than 225… Hearin’ tha hook & it str8 but tha track, itself, ain’t “A Lil’ Different” fa me… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds consistent with tha rhymin’. I’m not tha biggest fan of all that faster rappin’ people be doin’, tryna squeeze as much in a bar as possible. Needless ta say, good contribution, Breezy. My Rating: 3.1
11.
JT OMG “Going Hard”
Sounds like a mainstream, boring, typical-soundin’ beat that came from tha mainstream or somethin’, here… I could be wrong? If it’s not, then props fa keepin’ it B.R.! With that bein’ said, hearin’ JT on tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit tha consistent rhymes, ya feel me? He “Going Hard” wit dis one, on his voice; dope 2nd verse, too…! Nothin’ much else ta say but it’s an okay lil’ track fa me, overall. He toys around between “JT OMG” & “OMG JT” with his name. Like, he said, “OMG JT,” after tha 2nd verse. What does he want? My Current Rating: 3.8
12.
Pac Mane “Put It On”
>>> Not really feelin’ tha voice, here, includin’ tha boring beat, again. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s not really fa me. “Most of my billz on auto-pay”; I ain’t fuckin’ wit this line. I don’t believe in many people bein’ able ta have an “auto-pay” mind. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nothin’ I would comment on; that fuckin’ “bag,” smh! As far as tha 2nd verse, it’s a lil’ ear-bleedin’ with this voice & tha continuous rhymes. Tha rest of this just tries to make a bunch of random rhymes get shoved into a verse. Like, “LEGOs” & “PlayDoh”? Really? My Rating: 1.6
13.
Frank Calhoune feat. Young Sims “That Vibe (I’m Jiggin’)”
Producer: Young Sims
“Sims On Da Track” iz acceptable but, smh, why wouldn’t you put tha full title? There are songs that have two titles; this has been somethin’ since way b4 I was born. Make sure we put full titles, next tyme! As far as tha review, I wanted this to be like “I’m Edibled Up”, in a nice/sequel way! Sims cooked me up a nice lil’ beat & I dove inta this track with tha energy; definitely nice! I just want people to continuously “feel” energy—“purp,” movement, whateva! That’s how I want people to “find that vibe,” you know?! All tha energy I apply on tha 1st verse iz a perfect example of what I want from people, nowadayz! As far as Sims on tha 2nd verse, at least he didn’t wash away his full voice on this one! I made sure he stayed away from tha “H” of music: a-tune!! With that bein’ said, he was able to provide tha right “vibe” on my track, here. This way, err-body can be “jiggin’”! Also, it’s not on here but on my album, I like how Sims made my original, final four barz of my verse as an outro-verse; good thinkin’, my boy…! My Current Rating: 4.7
14.
TG Kommas “Inside”
>>> Focused on tha 1st verse & vibe, here; likin’ how he on his Baton Rouge shit, here… He sounds like he has a higher pitch in his voice/delivery than most B.R. rappers. I’ono, iz it his age? Tha rest of this str8; sometimes, hearin’ tha hook makes me feel a lil’ YoungBoyish… My Rating: 4.0
15.
Trackid & Rasta Foreign “UP”
>>> Feelin’ tha upbeat energy, here; glad it’s “UP!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope; luv how this Trackid all about tha club, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s definitely dope, here; gotta feel tha energy, once again…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I’m feelin’ tha “jigg” vibe with these “pillz”; good shit, Mr. Rasta! Definitely feelin’ how Trackid comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, here; I may like this betta than my own track! May have to come to a tie-breaker, later…! Even all these “UP” parts don’t make me think of Cardi! Think of dodgin’ that bullet!! My Rating: 4.7
16.
Bossmane “Out My Mind”
>>> Sounds like a nice, yawn-like hook with tha “…I’ve been poppin’ these pillz, losin’ my mind” part? Cool club vibe, here; Baton Rouge at its finest…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s cool with tha rhymes; gotta feel it! Smh, lost a lil’ interest b4 tha 1st verse ended when I heard tha “runnin’ up bandz” part; always hidden in a song, smh… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s cool; gotta feel tha loadedness! My Rating: 4.4
½tyme: Most of tha tracks are
pretty dope & consistent fa tha clubz—BR clubz, that iz! A few vibes threw
me off, makin’ tha average rating a 3.8,
currently; let’s see how we continue…!
17.
Big Flame Thrower feat. Dolla Bill “Famous”
Glad they have anotha appearance on here! >>> Cool lil’ beat that sounds like tha streetz of B.R., here; great shit! Hearin’ Big Flame Thrower on tha 1st verse & it’s dope wit how he comes through wit that heat; keep stayin’ focused…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s cool; just more focusedness on tha rhymes, ya feel me? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s cool. However, it don’t sound like tha usual Dolla Bill voice, this tyme? My Rating: 3.7
18.
J John feat. Viggio Acosta & Trey Banks “Can It Wiggle”
>>> Sounds like an okay hook; beat don’t really have much ta offer, even tho it for tha clubz… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s aight; nothin’ too special about tha unknown rappers fa me, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s okay; just ‘cause this has three rappers doesn’t mean this needs ta be longer than all but one track on here… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s okay, too; can’t say much about this longer track, overall… My Rating: 2.5
19.
PUBMOS “I Can’t Remember”
>>> Likin’ how this dude rides tha beat on tha hook, here… He decidin’ ta embrace memory loss on tha hook, huh? Works good fa a loaded zone & I’ll admit, tha focus much more direct on one thang than multiple subjects, when it comes ta bein’ high… Hearin’ tha verse & it cool with what he bringin’, here… My Rating: 4.1
20.
OMG Jaycee “Pipe Down”
From “[Name] OMG” (JT) to “OMG [Name]” (Jaycee); their inconsistency with how they label their stage names, basically. >>> Nothin’ interestin’ in tha beat, here… Hearin’ tha rappin’ & it’s okay; tha vibe seems too slow & boring, tho… My Rating: 2.4
21.
Pariah 85 “Good Signs (Bounce Mix)”
Surprised you put a mix name, despite not puttin’ my 2nd title part… >>> Tyme ta switch it to tha female singers, this tyme… Hearin’ tha beat & it’s nice fa a bounce/Tremon club vibe; that’s a plus. Hearin’ what tha chick has on tha track & it’s okay. Not tha craziest about R&B music, these dayz, but at least this serves as a good club night with Tremon… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s okay; I’ono how much I can dig her delivery, tho. Just sounds like she would want to scream it: “It’s ALL RIGHT!!!!!” Lol. My Rating: 2.9
22.
Miss Portia “Wanna Come Back”
>>> More on tha boring side; bet tha rest of this mixtape gon go this same singin’ route… I’m glad these tracks are a lil’ shorter, at least; not for me, here… My Rating: 1.2
23.
Stephanie McDee “Rough Ride”
From tha Young Bleed “Call The Police” track ta this, on her own… >>> Likin’ how she stayed in that “Call The Police” lane, with tha sound of tha beat & energy. Gotta luv how she went full-on with tha BPM, here (162?); good shit! Likin’ how she comes through fa this one, even tho I don’t have much else ta say… My Rating: 3.6
24.
Fredo Bang “Slow Rollin’”
>>> Even tho Fredo told me, “Naw, I don’t shmoke,” at least he finds happiness in a “Perc”! Hearin’ this beat & it’s a lil’ on tha slower side but still nice when he comes through on tha mic… Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse & it’s cool with what he brings; I digz it… Hearin’ tha hook & Jeez, how he have so much “emotion” on tha hook? A lil’ catchy but at my age/tha amount of disappointments I’ve dealt with in life, I can’t see myself bringin’ that kinda emotion ta anythang, these dayz, sadly… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool, too; I digz how he comes through… My Rating: 4.3
25.
Rocky Mountainz feat. VanDaMan “Smoke & Roll”
FYI: “VanDaMan” has three capital letters, not just one. I mighta heard this one while I was with them; wasn’t sure of their titles. >>> Yea, I heard this one at some point but thought it was somethin’ else when I was gonna hear it, just now. Hearin’ tha beat & it’s pretty nice; we had a good tyme, while I was in B.R. tha last tyme. S/O to their luv fa tha highs; go, Rocky & VanDa! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Rocky & it sounds like a really lost delivery? I get it: y’all high! Tha zone too strong! Hearin’ VanDaMan on tha 2nd verse & he sound so relaxed & calm. Even tho it ain’t tha best delivery I go for, I give him a thumbs-up fa how he has a calm vibe fa a track like dis. My Rating: 3.5
26.
Pretty Gi “Back-2-Back”
>>> This chick sounds okay; likin’ her DCF/Bro-Bro-like vibe with this “Back-2-Back” shit… Hearin’ tha verse & it sounds good—ahh, she said, “My phone ring; I know it’s money, I gotta chase it.” Shitty perspective & line; don’t get obsessed!! My Rating: 3.3
27.
Honey Doll “Level Up”
Seein’ this title & I think of tha process I’m now havin’ with people that I did business with, recently: a “Level-Up” process! >>> Beat okay/a decent southern vibe but I’m not feelin’ this that much. Sounds like what I said about tha Pretty Gi joint, previously, only I can’t really get inta tha rhymes, this tyme. My Rating: 2.3
28.
Duda D “It Ain’t Easy”
>>> Even worse: Slow, typical-soundin’ beat & worse voice with this a-tune shit! Jeez, tha “bag,” again? Like, this & tha two female jointz I just heard had that vibe or similar, smh… My Rating: 1.0
29.
Mesha Monae “Disconnection Notice”
>>> Again, not up my alley but not as bad. Still, boring, slow production & all these damn singers depend on that shitty-ass a-tune! My Rating: 1.1
30.
Tha G.T. feat. Bald-Head B “100”
I like how they collab’d…! No R&Bness? We’re actually changin’ gears?!? Longest track on this mixtape… >>> Beat a lil’ plain & boring; was much betta with tha Baton Rouge sound G.T. had on his earlier contribution on here… Sounds a lil’ quieter on tha 1st verse with G.T. but it’s still cool with how he comes through, as an ‘80s baby… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s cool, even tho how many tymes have we heard a “100 (100), 100 (100)…” hook? Hearin’ B on tha 2nd verse & even tho his voice & delivery cool fa this slow track, I’m not feelin’ how many tymes he had ta bring up money on here. Like, too obsessed? Needless ta say, I always luv how he comes through on his flows. As far as tha final minute, S/O to Tremon fa tha outro… My Rating: 3.4
31.
Big Bandit “Henny Straight”
Producer: Playa Pizzle
Originally known tha “Straight” as “Str8” but this cool, still… Anyway, gotta luv Big Bandit choosin’ this Lil’Cali
32.
Baby Mama “Cost Of Love”
Literally, a stage name called “Baby Mama”! How many babies in tha end, lol? >>> I don’t need anymo a-tune; boring, typical-soundin’ beat, too… My Rating: 1.0
33.
Akeem Ali “No Expectations”
Tha deluxe edition bonus track… >>> A lil’ boring with tha boring, typical production but for a rap track, it’s aight. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s okay. However, where’s tha energy, tho? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s decent with these rhymes fa tha streetz; decent, overall, but not my favorite cup of tea… My Rating: 2.6
Overall: Seems like I enjoyed this
review, for tha most part. Tha average rating don’t look like it but I mainly
enjoyed tha club/rap tracks. I’m not an R&B head, these dayz, especially
when every track has to sound like a trap-rap track, smh. Either way, hope you
take what I said into consideration, as far as tracks like mine & my
feedback. Glad you made an 11th edition; hope a 12th one
comes out, one day.

I feel her rhymes more than Lucky Starr’s but not this beat, even tho Lucky Starr’s seemed more 504 than 225… Hearin’ tha hook & it str8 but tha track, itself, ain’t “A Lil’ Different” fa me… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds consistent with tha rhymin’. I’m not tha biggest fan of all that faster rappin’ people be doin’, tryna squeeze as much in a bar as possible. Needless ta say, good contribution, Breezy. My Rating: 3.1
Sounds like a mainstream, boring, typical-soundin’ beat that came from tha mainstream or somethin’, here… I could be wrong? If it’s not, then props fa keepin’ it B.R.! With that bein’ said, hearin’ JT on tha 1st verse & it sounds good wit tha consistent rhymes, ya feel me? He “Going Hard” wit dis one, on his voice; dope 2nd verse, too…! Nothin’ much else ta say but it’s an okay lil’ track fa me, overall. He toys around between “JT OMG” & “OMG JT” with his name. Like, he said, “OMG JT,” after tha 2nd verse. What does he want? My Current Rating: 3.8
>>> Not really feelin’ tha voice, here, includin’ tha boring beat, again. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s not really fa me. “Most of my billz on auto-pay”; I ain’t fuckin’ wit this line. I don’t believe in many people bein’ able ta have an “auto-pay” mind. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s nothin’ I would comment on; that fuckin’ “bag,” smh! As far as tha 2nd verse, it’s a lil’ ear-bleedin’ with this voice & tha continuous rhymes. Tha rest of this just tries to make a bunch of random rhymes get shoved into a verse. Like, “LEGOs” & “PlayDoh”? Really? My Rating: 1.6
Producer: Young Sims
“Sims On Da Track” iz acceptable but, smh, why wouldn’t you put tha full title? There are songs that have two titles; this has been somethin’ since way b4 I was born. Make sure we put full titles, next tyme! As far as tha review, I wanted this to be like “I’m Edibled Up”, in a nice/sequel way! Sims cooked me up a nice lil’ beat & I dove inta this track with tha energy; definitely nice! I just want people to continuously “feel” energy—“purp,” movement, whateva! That’s how I want people to “find that vibe,” you know?! All tha energy I apply on tha 1st verse iz a perfect example of what I want from people, nowadayz! As far as Sims on tha 2nd verse, at least he didn’t wash away his full voice on this one! I made sure he stayed away from tha “H” of music: a-tune!! With that bein’ said, he was able to provide tha right “vibe” on my track, here. This way, err-body can be “jiggin’”! Also, it’s not on here but on my album, I like how Sims made my original, final four barz of my verse as an outro-verse; good thinkin’, my boy…! My Current Rating: 4.7
>>> Focused on tha 1st verse & vibe, here; likin’ how he on his Baton Rouge shit, here… He sounds like he has a higher pitch in his voice/delivery than most B.R. rappers. I’ono, iz it his age? Tha rest of this str8; sometimes, hearin’ tha hook makes me feel a lil’ YoungBoyish… My Rating: 4.0
>>> Feelin’ tha upbeat energy, here; glad it’s “UP!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty dope; luv how this Trackid all about tha club, here! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s definitely dope, here; gotta feel tha energy, once again…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I’m feelin’ tha “jigg” vibe with these “pillz”; good shit, Mr. Rasta! Definitely feelin’ how Trackid comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, here; I may like this betta than my own track! May have to come to a tie-breaker, later…! Even all these “UP” parts don’t make me think of Cardi! Think of dodgin’ that bullet!! My Rating: 4.7
>>> Sounds like a nice, yawn-like hook with tha “…I’ve been poppin’ these pillz, losin’ my mind” part? Cool club vibe, here; Baton Rouge at its finest…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s cool with tha rhymes; gotta feel it! Smh, lost a lil’ interest b4 tha 1st verse ended when I heard tha “runnin’ up bandz” part; always hidden in a song, smh… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s cool; gotta feel tha loadedness! My Rating: 4.4
Glad they have anotha appearance on here! >>> Cool lil’ beat that sounds like tha streetz of B.R., here; great shit! Hearin’ Big Flame Thrower on tha 1st verse & it’s dope wit how he comes through wit that heat; keep stayin’ focused…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s cool; just more focusedness on tha rhymes, ya feel me? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s cool. However, it don’t sound like tha usual Dolla Bill voice, this tyme? My Rating: 3.7
>>> Sounds like an okay hook; beat don’t really have much ta offer, even tho it for tha clubz… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s aight; nothin’ too special about tha unknown rappers fa me, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s okay; just ‘cause this has three rappers doesn’t mean this needs ta be longer than all but one track on here… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s okay, too; can’t say much about this longer track, overall… My Rating: 2.5
>>> Likin’ how this dude rides tha beat on tha hook, here… He decidin’ ta embrace memory loss on tha hook, huh? Works good fa a loaded zone & I’ll admit, tha focus much more direct on one thang than multiple subjects, when it comes ta bein’ high… Hearin’ tha verse & it cool with what he bringin’, here… My Rating: 4.1
From “[Name] OMG” (JT) to “OMG [Name]” (Jaycee); their inconsistency with how they label their stage names, basically. >>> Nothin’ interestin’ in tha beat, here… Hearin’ tha rappin’ & it’s okay; tha vibe seems too slow & boring, tho… My Rating: 2.4
Surprised you put a mix name, despite not puttin’ my 2nd title part… >>> Tyme ta switch it to tha female singers, this tyme… Hearin’ tha beat & it’s nice fa a bounce/Tremon club vibe; that’s a plus. Hearin’ what tha chick has on tha track & it’s okay. Not tha craziest about R&B music, these dayz, but at least this serves as a good club night with Tremon… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s okay; I’ono how much I can dig her delivery, tho. Just sounds like she would want to scream it: “It’s ALL RIGHT!!!!!” Lol. My Rating: 2.9
>>> More on tha boring side; bet tha rest of this mixtape gon go this same singin’ route… I’m glad these tracks are a lil’ shorter, at least; not for me, here… My Rating: 1.2
From tha Young Bleed “Call The Police” track ta this, on her own… >>> Likin’ how she stayed in that “Call The Police” lane, with tha sound of tha beat & energy. Gotta luv how she went full-on with tha BPM, here (162?); good shit! Likin’ how she comes through fa this one, even tho I don’t have much else ta say… My Rating: 3.6
>>> Even tho Fredo told me, “Naw, I don’t shmoke,” at least he finds happiness in a “Perc”! Hearin’ this beat & it’s a lil’ on tha slower side but still nice when he comes through on tha mic… Hearin’ him on tha 1st verse & it’s cool with what he brings; I digz it… Hearin’ tha hook & Jeez, how he have so much “emotion” on tha hook? A lil’ catchy but at my age/tha amount of disappointments I’ve dealt with in life, I can’t see myself bringin’ that kinda emotion ta anythang, these dayz, sadly… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool, too; I digz how he comes through… My Rating: 4.3
FYI: “VanDaMan” has three capital letters, not just one. I mighta heard this one while I was with them; wasn’t sure of their titles. >>> Yea, I heard this one at some point but thought it was somethin’ else when I was gonna hear it, just now. Hearin’ tha beat & it’s pretty nice; we had a good tyme, while I was in B.R. tha last tyme. S/O to their luv fa tha highs; go, Rocky & VanDa! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Rocky & it sounds like a really lost delivery? I get it: y’all high! Tha zone too strong! Hearin’ VanDaMan on tha 2nd verse & he sound so relaxed & calm. Even tho it ain’t tha best delivery I go for, I give him a thumbs-up fa how he has a calm vibe fa a track like dis. My Rating: 3.5
>>> This chick sounds okay; likin’ her DCF/Bro-Bro-like vibe with this “Back-2-Back” shit… Hearin’ tha verse & it sounds good—ahh, she said, “My phone ring; I know it’s money, I gotta chase it.” Shitty perspective & line; don’t get obsessed!! My Rating: 3.3
Seein’ this title & I think of tha process I’m now havin’ with people that I did business with, recently: a “Level-Up” process! >>> Beat okay/a decent southern vibe but I’m not feelin’ this that much. Sounds like what I said about tha Pretty Gi joint, previously, only I can’t really get inta tha rhymes, this tyme. My Rating: 2.3
>>> Even worse: Slow, typical-soundin’ beat & worse voice with this a-tune shit! Jeez, tha “bag,” again? Like, this & tha two female jointz I just heard had that vibe or similar, smh… My Rating: 1.0
>>> Again, not up my alley but not as bad. Still, boring, slow production & all these damn singers depend on that shitty-ass a-tune! My Rating: 1.1
I like how they collab’d…! No R&Bness? We’re actually changin’ gears?!? Longest track on this mixtape… >>> Beat a lil’ plain & boring; was much betta with tha Baton Rouge sound G.T. had on his earlier contribution on here… Sounds a lil’ quieter on tha 1st verse with G.T. but it’s still cool with how he comes through, as an ‘80s baby… Hearin’ tha hook & it’s cool, even tho how many tymes have we heard a “100 (100), 100 (100)…” hook? Hearin’ B on tha 2nd verse & even tho his voice & delivery cool fa this slow track, I’m not feelin’ how many tymes he had ta bring up money on here. Like, too obsessed? Needless ta say, I always luv how he comes through on his flows. As far as tha final minute, S/O to Tremon fa tha outro… My Rating: 3.4
Producer: Playa Pizzle
Originally known tha “Straight” as “Str8” but this cool, still… Anyway, gotta luv Big Bandit choosin’ this Lil’
Literally, a stage name called “Baby Mama”! How many babies in tha end, lol? >>> I don’t need anymo a-tune; boring, typical-soundin’ beat, too… My Rating: 1.0
Tha deluxe edition bonus track… >>> A lil’ boring with tha boring, typical production but for a rap track, it’s aight. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s okay. However, where’s tha energy, tho? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s decent with these rhymes fa tha streetz; decent, overall, but not my favorite cup of tea… My Rating: 2.6
