Review #1,963: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 10"

Reviewed on 5.31.2021 (Review #1,963)
 
 
Oh boy…; I’m makin’ an effort into gettin’ some more reviewz done. On June 10, 2011, I celebrated my 1,000th review. Now, we’re only 10 dayz away from June 10, 2021, a whole decade later! I only have ta complete 37 more reviewz b4 I reach my 2,000th one. That means, I gotta do about three or four a day, for tha next 10 dayz; how will I do? We’ll find out, especially that I’m tryna find a full-tyme & have to get loaded to go walk a mile for my back. I gon be reviewin’ a bunch of throwback releases from 2000 after this review & we’ll see how I progress. Fa now, as promised from earlier in tha year, here goes my review for DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 10, courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment! Hottest In The City 10 iz Tremon’s finally installment of tha Hottest In The City series. He’s continuin’ with Trippy Tuesday releases, which I should get to check out. I just dunno when I’ll have tha proper free tyme to get to everything. Either way, S/O to Tremon fa showin’ me luv on tha Trippy Tuesdays series; gotta keep it trippy! Start Time: 6:41 PM | End Time: 7:54 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!
 
© 2021 Review (Review #1,963) reviewed on 5.31.2021 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
 
 
 
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.

Review #1,952: Lil' Bone "Pay Da Cost 2 Be Da Boss"

Reviewed on 12.30.2020 (Review #1,952)
 
 
Been a lil’ quiet wit tha reviewz, as of lately. With not havin’ a job fa four months & constant back/neck pains, I’ve been tryna get other ventures out tha way. I have new music comin’ soon, as well as a bunch of video countdowns & older projects I’ve been workin’ on, since tha previous decade. I’m also tryin’ to schedule my new album, Autistic Stoner Rap, as my 2,000th review. After this one, I’ll be at only 48 more reviewz till that feat, so I gotta pace myself accordingly. Lucky for this review I finna do, I made sure that after meetin’ dude on September 2, 2020 & later recordin’ in dude’s studio a week later, I had ta buy this release & review it b4 tha year ended! Here goes my review fa my homeboy, Lil’ Bone Pay Da Cost 2 Be Da Boss, courtesy of Bonefide Music Group [pronounced “BONE-AH-FYDE”]! Shout out ta DJ B-Real fa playin’ a major part in dis, as well!! Finna shmoke me a bowl & get right inta dis “Bonepiece” [pronounced “BONE-AH-PIECE”], lol! Start Time: 8:13 PM | End Time: 9:35 PM

Producer: DJ B-Real
Let’s git it! >>> Definitely pretty dope-n-dark production vibes comin’ out dem B-Real keyz; 💯% pure!! Definitely a plus wit Bone comin’ through on this, wit 💯% confidence…!! Luv how B-Real’s keys, on tha hook, sounded like they sunk, on one of tha proceedin’ barz! Definitely catchy—I’m pretty high, as I start dis off; definitely official!! Lol @ Bone’s line about tha “studio […] features […], sayin’, ‘Lawd Jesus’!” I’m glad I’ve always appreciated bein’ in tha presence of you & tha Bonefide’s company; glad you & B tha A-Team!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
02. “Should’ve Been Blowed Up” feat. DJ B-Real

Looks like it gon be dope…, of course! >>> Sounds like a good, dark, classic-soundin’ street vibe; definitely nice! Really feelin’ how B comin’ through on tha hook; definitely official!! Lol, totally in-sync wit tha title part!! Like, frfr, he definitely got it & feel like he will blow “up” wit it!! Definitely dope hearin’ him spittin’ rhymes on tha 1st verse, tho; definitely official!! Felt every piece of it, from tha heart; that’s how B brings it!! Of course, you already know wit my opportunities comin’ up, I want B-Real ta “blow up” wit dis shit wit me, ya heard me?! Definitely, definitely…! Got you on tha 2nd verse, Bone, comin’ through wit a successful past, present & future—that’s tha present, lol (feelin’ “successful”)…!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
03. “I Be Cuttin’ Up”
Neva reviewed an album from iTunes that has multiple years displayed on tha tracks. This track iz from 2017, so let’s see how you was “cuttin’ up,” durin’ that tyme…! >>> Definitely feelin’ how you have that 💯% Jigga City vibe in ya, here, as well as tha dope-ass production!! You definitely stay in-sync wit dis shit, to tha fullest…! Definitely awesome ta hear you on tha 1st verse, ya feel me?! From tha “golds” to tha “hoes” to everythang that make you cut “up,” you got dis!! Tha 2nd verse dope as fuck, as well; glad you keep it as trill as can be; you already know what da bidness iz…! Sounds like it was meant ta be perfect, based off of how it’s a few years old & here, fa tha 2K20? Definitely!! My Rating: 5.0
 
 
04. “All I Need Is U” feat. Geeno & Drell
I hate when I buy albums from iTunes & random songs seem to not wanna convert. That means, I have to buy tha track(s) a 2nd tyme on Amazon, in order to review/have tha track(s). Was this worth tha extra purcha$e…? >>> Don’t know if Geeno got tha singin’ vibe down pat like B-Real, yet? Sounds like an “A” track & by “A”, I mean Dat Boy “A”—“A”drian Bagh…er, lol; that’s how I detect how its voice sounds… I have ta say, not somethin’ that I thought was gon be depressin’; catchy shit…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse & you got some good shit goin’ on, whether it comes ta this loyalty shit; on Bone! Instantly, not tha type of track I’d go as crazy as tha 1st three for but with this extra purchase, I guess tha “extra” was wortheth iteth, lol? Say that five tymes fast, lol! “Wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth, wortheth iteth!” Lol, I had only successfully said that five tymes fast, due to its rhythm, not how ta say it in str8-up English, lol! Don’t you luv that good, potent bud?! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like a rough day in tha hoodz of BR; glad tha “struggle” brings tha BEST strength out ya…! Overall, a decent lil’ luvable song… My Rating: 4.2
 
 
05. “Who Cares” feat. DJ B-Real
Producer: DJ B-Real
! … ! … ! … >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ sample/key manipulation in tha beat? Cool; diggin’ how tha hook sounds pretty hypnotizin’, even wit B-Real playin’ wit tha voice EFX & shit… At least it’s only a portion of a voice effect on tha hook, overall; it’s acceptable, here. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Bone & it sounds pretty fucked up wit tha whole custody/baby-mama drama…Sounds like a dope lil’ B-Real verse on tha 2nd verse, here; definitely cool…! Sounds like he runnin’ a race durin’ tha beginning of tha verse & then, hits us wit tha brakes ta slowly end his verse; definitely dope! Luv how this sounds real hypnotizin’, real & boss-made, tho a “struggle” on tha outside, literally. My Rating: 4.7
 
 
06. “Ain’t Gave Me Nothing” feat. Doe Boy
Almost ain’t recognize this Doe Boy till I randomly looked on my blog & almost 400 reviewz ago, back four years ago, I reviewed seven-year-olds All Eyes On Me by Nino, as well as Soul Muzik by Geeno; Doe Boy iz featured…! *Re-reads reviewz…* Hmm, looks like I went way more with tha Nino route…! I remember when Lee Banks went by tha moniker, durin’ tha 2000’s & early 2010’s. Seein’ later on this release that this Doe Boy done passed, let’s see how much he was worth, here, as I hear this…! >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ beat; definitely pure, to tha fulless! Cool lil’ hook wit how you come through wit some of tha best-soundin’ shit fa tha undaground! Glad you released this tha day b4 my most-recent birthday, tho I neva got tha chance ta peep it out till now…! I kept my promise; glad I’m reviewin’ this, right nah…!! Hearin’ how you come through wit tha hook, again & that “nothing” vibe makes you a strong one; real talk! Got tha good-ole Doe Boy on tha 2nd verse & yeah, definitely nice wit what he presented fa you, here…! Sounds like he had it rough wit tha BM drama; thank God I hopped over that venomous rabbit hole!! Either way, definitely a dope collab, from gettin’ it out tha mud!! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
07. “Built Like Dat”
2K-shitty-18, here… >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ beat start, here…! Sounds like anotha pure, Jigga City-type vibe, like anotha random/dope night in tha yo—tha Bonefide yo, that iz!! Sounds like a dope lil’ 1st verse, tellin’ “it like it iz,” like a real ‘80s baby in they 30’s would! Definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on this, to tha fullest; definitely addictive & respected! Gotta be “Built Like Dat”; you already know what it iz! Keepin’ this shit goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit nothin’ but tha best! You 💯% in these streetz; I can hear it in tha ‘80s-baby quality of yours, of course! Dem ‘80s babies know what it iz!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
½time: Did tha weed make it seem like this a special review?? I feel that it depends on tha original AL—anticipation level. Because this was pretty “up there,” like my dude, Killa McClain, I already know that tha weed only made tha AL potent, ya heard me? It’s like I can really appreciate & expose tha good vibes, ya feel me?! Definitely on tha right track, with a 4.7 for tha average rating, right nah…!! That’s HUGE!!! It’s Young Ready That’s How I’m Coming—type HUGE!! I feel like it’s those dayz, again; what betta way fa me ta approach Age 21!! I’m SO glad I got ta reviewin’ this, like I said I was gon do, back on November 8th! It’s all about accomplishin’ what you say you gon do! That’s why, I’m leadin’/am valuable, till this day!!
 
 
08. “Take A Ride” feat. DJ B-Real
Would love to…! I remember when you & B took “a ride,” earlier this year, on May 2nd. Y’all went to tha N.O. & when I checked into tha live, I luv how B was like, “Frankiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!! Frankiiiiiiiiiiiie!! Tha Lucky Dog…!” Great tyme; now, let’s see if this “ride”’s worth it! >>> Definitely dope as fuck wit tha screwed voice, as well as tha beat intro slowly hittin’ hard!! Sounds like a dope lil’ hook, once again! I feel almost tha same way wit tha B-Real voice-effect exploration, like from earlier in this review…! Sounds good wit how you got tha 1st verse goin’—should I say, “Ridin’,” like you, Bone, lol? Definitely dope; luv tha “lean!” Luv how you fulla dem good “pillz,” just bein’ tha celeb you iz!! Luv how this has a bit of an H-Town vibe in tha lyrics, as well as how y’all slam tha BR vibes!! Ooh, B-Real on tha 2nd verse, really feelin’ tha vibe, to tha fullest (both B-Real & I feelin’ tha vibe)!! Definitely nice; luv how he have tha H-Town accent in this, too! Speakin’ of this past year, I luved when, on April 29th—I actually guessed it right, just now—B-Real had a story with, I think, tha Fredo Most Hated release in tha background & at tha end, he was like, “Yeah, that real mud!” I feel tha stickiness in it, displayed here!! My Rating: 4.8
 
 
09. “My Nigga (R.I.P. Doe Boy)” feat. Baby D
I see y’all made a typo on tha late homie’s name, here. Usually, tha typo iz a surroundin’ key; “B” & “D” are, like, keys away, lol… Either way, same thing wit Doe Boy, we got Baby D, here, on tha feature. I know of a Baby D from tha crunk tymes of tha 2000’s, as well as tha Baby D in tha dance-music world of tha ‘90s. Now, we have a Baby D in tha 2K20’s—oh wait, 2K18, accordin’ to tha year. He musta passed a while ago? >>> Again, it may sound like anotha instant doubt but I’ono if this chick can be on a B-Real level, between this singin’ & tha BR tight vibes…? I can appreciate it; it ain’t no supa-sad song, luckily. I feel how tha beats back it up in a nice way, ya feel me? Maybe, I should do a tribute video on Doe Boy, one day? At least you provided a fact in tha beginning of tha 1st verse, “October 30, 1991.” Oh, damn, “October 14, 2017;” that’s following a Friday tha 13th & that was tha same day that dude in tha BR streetz raped, robbed & threatened me! That street name where it happened just grosses me out, now!! However, I do remember bein’ in BR, durin’ that trip (my 3rd trip); I remember tryna get a hold of B-Real & Pablo Escobar told me that homeboy passed away. I ain’t connect who I thought died vs. Doe Boy as tha same person but now, it makes sense. Needless ta say, definitely feelin’ how you expressin’ tha pain, stories, life tymes & all tha moments ova this pure quality (production)!! Back ta hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I luv how you lead tha leader path ta your neph, here; glad you inspired his presence! I look at you as a pure BR a$$et, no doubt; keep up tha Bonefide grind!! Afta hearin’ how this track came out, between tha story & vibe, I seem ta like it more than when it started…! My Rating: 4.4
 
 
10. “My Girl”
Producer: DJ B-Real
Hmm… >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ B-Real beat, here. Like, it’s a gumbo pot? Sounds like it’s for tha ladies; sounds like it’s a lil’ bit on an upbeat R&B vibe; sounds like it’s for tha BR streetz? Lots in one gumbo pot!! Luv how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here; definitely official! Luv how B-Real holdin’ tha beat down, durin’ tha different patterns & shit; definitely official! Luv how you comin’ through on tha 2nd verse, Bone; all tha way “naked” on they ass, too! Gates closed, it’s Bone’s home, here! Also, tha singin’ cool; glad it came out tha way it did, nice & catchy/hood, ova tha B-Realness! My Rating: 4.6
 
 
11. “I Heard” feat. DJ B-Real & Peter Pound
Str8 outta 2K18 wit a Small Circle Kartel collab, here…! >>> Definitely dope shit fa tha streetz, here; all about them damn problemz! Great job collaboratin’ on tha hook, between you & P-Pound! Also, B-Real on tha 1st verse, here, all about tha instant/“direct” route, here! Always know you always got it, B-Real! I gon make SURE that I always got it, all day, every day!! Got P-Pound on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his presence, soundin’ dope fa these SCK streetz of BR…! Though 2K18 lead to my arrest, at least there was this hot track ta locally make it through tha shitty air! Glad you got a FANTASTIC ear fa DOPE tracks, Bone!! You on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit them bullet-piercin’ rhymes & flows fa tha 2-2-5; 💯!! My Rating: 4.5
 
 
12. “What U Need” feat. Big Wayne & Young Bleed
Producer: Big Wayne
Nice that you got Bleed on tha feature. I know when I was wit you & B on September 2nd, we talked about my upcomin’ mega BR collab. Not only am I still invitin’ you on to tha collab but I even had Bleed in mind, as well. When I told Bleed I was makin’ my way to tha Boot, he said, “I’m in Kentucky,” smh. Needless ta say, here we go wit dis track; can’t wait ta hear…! >>> A nice lil’ intro; let’s git it…! When will Big Weezy make a comeback fa me? Been almost four years since our last talk… Like, my last talk wit him iz almost longer than me not talkin’ ta B-Real? Like, seems like two different planets, though it’s my same life… Tha hook definitely nice fa tha streetz; gotta luv it & why I luv tha BR lyfe…! Got you on tha 1st verse, Bone, comin’ through wit your dope rhymes, as always; you know what it iziz…! Keepin’ it movin’, of course, Mr. Blizzeed on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through nicely on a Wayne beat…! Should I feel like it’s a guilty pleasure ta currently give Big Wayne feedback? Big Weezy soundin’ nice on tha 3rd verse; I’ll leave it just at that, until he reconnects wit me. In tha end, we all ‘80s babies… Then again, when he said, “Fuck jail,” it’s ironic that while we weren’t talkin’ (still), I was in “jail” on his birthday, in 2019; damn, Big Wayne… My Rating: 4.3
 
 
13. “Out My Brain” feat. DJ B-Real, Nino & Don Julio
Looks like it gon be a hype, fun track…!! >>> Yeah, sounds like a pretty hype hook; luv how B-Real comin’ through wit these “barz” & as a “Watson!” Luv that it’s a “Circle” presentation, here; you know what it iz!! “Been poppin’ since 3:00,” huh? Definitely all-nightin’ to tha fullest, here; crazy! Can only imagine tha EXPERIENCES goin’ through y’all!! Bone, you really official wit it!! Nino comin’ through on tha 2nd verse & he sound like he one of tha most-official ones, here; I’m definitely always down ta kick it wit BR’s best, in tha undaground! Oh boy, B-Real on tha 3rd verse, comin’ outta nowhere wit “two,” when it comes to them “tabs;” definitely 💯!! Like, 💯 x 💯, accordin’ ta B-Real’s body?! I think so…! Definitely real nice wit how he provided his 💊-up & 💊-out ass, lol!! Luv how tha ending just echoes, fades & iz still aggressive af!! My Rating: 4.9
 
 
14. “Stop Cuffin’”
Producer: DJ B-Real
Two words I hate! “Stop” & “cuffin’,” especially since my arrest in cuffs! That don’t “stop” me from anticipatin’ this one as a hot joint, tho…; maybe? >>> Luv how tha intro part reminds me of our boy, Doe-Doe, in a sense. Like, BR’s undaground, with tha dialect/beat vibe combination? Definitely dope; feelin’ tha hook, too, wit tha beat goin’ off & tha catchiness…! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s pretty nice, as “nice” iz tha consistent way you know how ta deliver them tracks! 💯!! Bone always bones, lol, comin’ through wit tha “bitch” swappin’! An all-in hook!! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & tha consistency continues; livin’ that everyday life of tha BR undaground, here…! My Rating: 4.2
 
 
15. “Made Something Outta Nothing” feat. Geeno & Drell
Sappy-type of ending…? I only rated it a 3.3 when I reviewed it, back in 2K13… >>> Yeah, a lil’ sappy but I feel like I have a lil’ more appreciation fa it. Sounds like tha bouncy-type of BR beat sounds good wit how y’all came from tha “nothing;” thumbs up…! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse, Bone & I’m feelin’ how you expressin’ tha life of tha Bonefide! Real talk…! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Drell & it’s pretty nice; nice lil’ consistent flow, even if this seemed like a decent 1st listen, in tha past… Even a lil’ bit of Geeno comin’ through wit an outro part/endin’ of this release… Good job, y’all; glad I’m feelin’ it a lil’ more ta help it keep up wit your consistent ratings…! Great job; you bring an A+ vibe ta BR & I’m glad you know where tha REAL “A”-Game at!! My Current Rating: 4.0
 
 
Overall: I knew this release was gon be tha shit but I ain’t thank by shmokin’ that weed that this was gon make me feel like I was in 2008, only high!! That’s how I definitely want ta live my life, ya feel me?! AWESOME job believin’ as much in B-Real as you do; definitely worth a FORTUNE, in tha end!! Even doin’ this review felt like I was in 2008 with how it progressed, my inescapable feelings bein’ expressed, tha quality & B-Real’s contribution rate!! Definitely one for tha books, here!! Hate that I reviewed it a half-year & a third-month—lol—late, lol. However, I’m just glad you got my $$$, Bone, not just for this release but already on tha bidne$$ side of thangz! That’s a “W” for “Wonafide,” lol; frfr!
