Review #1,810: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 4"

Reviewed on 8.14.2019 (Review #1,810)

Keepin’ ‘em comin’, slowly but surely… DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 4! Looks like you’ll have anotha birthday 2morrow, as I’ll prolly resume tha next three reviewz for 2morrow! Start Time: 8:34 PM | End Time: 9:54 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!

01. Austin On Tha Track feat. Meter Gang “Fuck It Up”

Kickin’ it off wit anotha Meter Gang song… >>> So far, based off you on tha intro & tha beat, it sounds like it’s much betta than tha previous edition’s Meter Gang track. Bass sounds heavy; decent rhymes on tha 1^st verse, here. Was okay till tha annoying hook came in. How ironic: “Fuck It Up,” huh? That’s how I feel about how this hook sounds! Shouldn’ta added a lil’ auto-tune on tha vocals… Gee Money Pimpin’ on tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ aight, here; not much ta say… A 3^rd verse fit & it’s pretty fast, here… Overall, decent; just a shitty hook, even tho it would prolly sound betta in your club. My Rating: 2.8

02. Jaye London “My Situation”

>>> Sounds like a hot beat start from Trel It’z A Hit on tha track! Samplin’ Cleveland Lounge’s “Drowning” song from 2000 on tha beat sound (da-dunn-dunn; da-dunn-dunn, da-dunn-dunn). Hearin’ what he spittin’ and it’s nice; definitely feelin’ this beat! Good shit; I got impressed… My Rating: 4.3

03. O.U. Bird “How I Live”

>>> This good; good lil’ hook. Can’t confuse this Bird wit Byrd, despite them both bein’ Louisianimalz… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like a good lil’ club banga; good shit. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8; this str8, overall. My Rating: 3.8

04. Yotsai “Sideline”

Not sure what ta expect from this artist’s name… >>> Tha “it’z up, it’z up” shit sounds like some good Baton Rouge shit. Not likin’ tha “whole lotta money” shit, as well as one of tha “it’z up”s bein’ taken outta tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook. Either way, kinda likin’ it as a guilty pleasure, tho ‘cause I like tha singin’. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s random club rappin’, ova this good beat. Thought there woulda been room fa a 2^nd verse but a lil’ bit of an outro, here… My Rating: 3.9

05. BBE AJ feat. Whop Bezzy “Doing My Dance”

>>> Got a La’Keith production, here; looks like we’re off to a betta-than-average start wit this mixtape, so far… Sounds like a regular-soundin’ dancin’ track that’s aight, on tha hook; beat nice, tho. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and bleh, why err-one gotta have “racks” or money in every song? Like, aren’t they more paranoid about all money on ‘em than havin’ weed on ‘em? I would be—oh wait, my brother passed! There’s no such thing as bein’ paranoid, anymore! With that bein’ said, tha rest of tha 1^st verse cool, tho; “Jigga City” representa, at its finest! Got Bezzy on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit tha street combination fa this club track. My Rating: 4.0

06. OMG JT feat. HBO Duece “In This Bit By Myself”

I rememba meetin’ HBO Duece one of tha dayz afta I met you, after October 13, 2017:

Now, he here… >>> Sounds like a cool lil’ club banga; anotha great hook/beat! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s cool; I’m diggin’ tha energy/fast rhymin’. Definitely a cool lil’ jiggin’ jam; let’s see how HBO contributes… Here comes HBO on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some undaground, Jigga City energy! Good shit; nice job from tha both of ‘em! My Rating: 4.2

07. Jay Lewis “I Hope”
>>> Only a minute; let’s see what’s good… Nice jiggin’-type beat, once again, as well as strictly gettin’ to da rappin’! Likin’ tha hopin’; gotta “hope” fa da best! Last 12 seconds wit tha beat’s kicks sound dope! Lol @ all these wishes! My Rating: 4.1

08. Fredo Bang “Kill Ya”

>>> Prolly on tha guilty pleasure tip but I prolly gon feel this a lot. He sing-raps tha hook pretty nice, here, as well as tha good beat. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and he got this shit on lock! OMG, if I rate this high, if it becomes my top-rated track on here, I’ll die laughin’, lol! There’s gotta be somethin’ mo catchier on here! “My heart black like a croooooow,” lol! Almost thought it was ova but a 2^nd verse’s here… Sounds like a good lil’ verse; really feelin’ that silly/good hook. My Rating: 4.7

09. Hotboy Turk feat. Birdman “All The Money”
>>> Not inta tha “money” shit, on tha hook. Speakin’ of, you know, which it’s featured in that Louisiana trip documentary where I met you, after I left tha club that night, I got sexually assulted, robbed & threatened, smh; it was a Friday tha 13^th, too, tho I’m not superstitious. Got stronger since but once again, you know why I hate “money” shit (even tho, it mainly go back ta November 17, 2011, when I first got robbed in tha business. I was finally paid back October 6, 2018!)! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it str8; sounds good wit this beat. Surprised Birdman sound good on tha 2^nd verse; thought he was gon have auto-tune or some wack shit. Glad he proved me wrong & his verse was betta than tha hook… Got mo room fa a 3^rd verse, here. Tha 3^rd verse from Turk str8, here; likin’ tha “lottery ticket” shit. I give him his props fa keepin’ this shit goin’ fa you, Tremon. My Rating: 3.7

10. Lil’ K “Trench Living (Jeezy Flow)”

A Jeezy-jacked track? Not sure if I’ll feel? >>> Not like I recognize it like other shit I’ve heard in da past. Let’s see what we got, tho… His “uh” in tha beginning reminded me of Jeezy, until tha flow sped up. Either way, it’s a good hook fa tha streetz. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like a good hustle; good shit. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8; this track str8 fa me, overall… My Rating: 3.5

11. DB Kash “200K”

Not sure if I’ll feel this money-lookin’ title… >>> Likin’ this beat; tha hook ain’t too annoying, at least. Let’s see how tha verses go… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and yeah, it’s braggin’ too much about “money” but I’m still not 100% turned off… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s whateva. I’m still enjoyin’ this in some type of way, so it’s not a flop fa me… My Rating: 3.6

12. P-Nut feat. Bolo “Turnt Up”

>>> Sounds like a good club banga, wit tha streetz mix… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like good rhymes wit this beat… Glad for tha hook! “Dem chewiez got me turnt up!” Good shit; gotta luv energy! Wish I had more, right nah but not havin’ a job’s hurtin’ my productivity & motivation, smh. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t bad. Why err-body gotta have somethin’ “money” in they verse, especially if I neva heard/barely heard of ‘em? My Rating: 3.9

13. Arthentic “Nowhere”

>>> Doesn’t sound like a singin’-styled track I’d fuck wit but their singin’ str8, on tha hook… Decent 1^st verse; sounds like it has potential outside tha Boot? Tha rest str8; I won’t hate too much, despite it not bein’ my style… My Rating: 2.5

14. Nicole Monionno “Walked In”

>>> Like how you introduced her in tha beginning! Just tryna type tha last name and then, you said it, lol. I’ono, nothin’ too special wit these rhymes & this track. Nothin’ that sounds too terrible but I still think it sounds good fa your club sets… Tha rest of this decent; nothin’ really ta say… My Rating: 2.4

15. Geno “While You Jig”

Only one “G” in “Jig”, here? That’s less of bein’ a “G”, right, lol? Oh wait, tha otha “G”’s in “Geno”, his name, lol! >>> I’m diggin’ this vibe; sounds like a good lil’ throwback vibe fa tha jiggalatin’! Get it? “Throwback” & “jiggalatin’” I used in tha same sentence? Of course! Hearin’ tha verse and it sounds cool fa this; good lil’ quickie! My Rating: 4.2

16. Rocky Mountainz “The Revenge Of Paper Boi”

Looks interestin’ but let’s see… >>> Anotha one wit “dollaz,” kickin’ it off… Sounds slightly like a mysterious-soundin’ production, wit a cool vibe… Kinda thrown off wit all tha “money” shit but it sounds good, at times… What’s wit all these newer tracks out wit tha beat distortin’ in tha back, these dayz? Sounds too typical; I get weird when I always hear ‘em. Either way, sounds okay wit tha 2^nd verse… I’ll give this one its props; almost a 4.0’er… My Rating: 3.9

½time: So far, so good, Tremon! A 3.7-rated CD; looks like there’s no trash, luckily! A couple good bangaz, too; let’s keep it goin’!

17. Rocky Mountainz “Top 2”

Him, again…; back-2-back like pillz, lol! >>> Sounds okay; tha otha song was much catchier wit tha production. This production sounds more like it fits wit your club sets than tha catchiness of my earz. Either way, tha rhymes aight; just sounds like it was randomly made. I’ono about this “Top 2,” tho; might make tha “Top” 20! My Rating: 3.4

18. Bolo feat. Mr. Do The Most “Feed The Fam”

>>> Oh, boy!!! So, this was not an original beat, tha whole time? I know this off of (not gonna say his name ‘cause of an issue & he blocked me on June 19, 2019, after I showed him luv on my playlist, smh) “True Story”, from three years ago. Basically, this, like, a rap vs. rap track, fa me (already heard some1 rap off this beat, when I thought it was an original track). Tha hook okay; doesn’t really catch me like “True Story” did, despite that bein’ watered-down wit auto-tune! As far as tha rest of this, kinda random; weird that it’s my lowest-rated, here, atm! My Rating: 2.0

19. Kocaine “Junkies At My Door”

>>> Sounds cool wit this hook and tha beat ain’t bad… Tha 1^st verse ain’t bad; diggin’ his “trap house”-type rhymes, here. Tha rest of this ain’t bad; I’ll give it its props. My Rating: 3.5

20. Big Swipe “She Gon Hit Da Lick”

>>> Anotha one that sounds str8, as far as tha hook & beat. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like dude on a mission fa undaground success. Hearin’ tha hook fa tha 2^nd time & he sound lost, a lil’? “She gon hit da—I,” lol? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds str8; a decent lil’ track… My Rating: 3.3

21. Lil’ Swipe “Betta Get Low”

>>> Sounds like a good call-out command track to “get low!” Prolly coulda had a lil’ mo energy in da beat but it’s still cool ‘cause this dude got tha energy in his flow. Hearin’ tha verse and he sound like a Louisiana version of Chedda Da Connect, only wit a lil’ mo energy. My Rating: 3.6

22. Banga “It’s Whatever”

>>> An EQ beat, based off tha hornz in tha beginning? Good hook; I always dig tha repetitive “it’s whateva wit me”-type hooks! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good wit these rhymes/tha energy. Lol, this 2^nd verse’s pretty raw! Tha “masturbation” shit and whateva follows that’s pretty dope! He got tha rhymes on lock, this time! My Rating: 3.8

23. Lil’ E feat. D3 Yungin “Drip”
>>> Likin’ tha beats drippin’ on tha beat! Also, good lil’ intro from you, Tremon. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s cool; I’ono when but I have a feelin’ I’ll get tired of err-body wit tha “drip” tracks, one day. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s str8; nothin’ annoyin’ ta turn me off… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it aight; club shit, here… My Rating: 3.7

24. D-Shaw “Woke Up”
>>> He sounds consistent on this shit; an improvement, here… I mean, how many lyrics can you spit? I usually have been turned off by tha fast rappin’, these dayz. However, this sounds a lil’ betta than usual. Tha hook sounds good fa a wakin’ “up” track. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds good; flow slowed down a lil’, surprisingly… Well, it sped back up, right away…! My Rating: 4.0

25. Mack Tony “Bitch Please”

>>> Sounds like a few sampled parts in tha beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s cool; not bad… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it str8; nothin’ much ta say… Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on & it’s aight; tha flow a lil’ iffy fa me wit how it’s slow/repetitive, tho… My Rating: 3.1

Intermission: I tried ta hold it in but due to tha heat & tha laptop on my lap, right nah…

Have ta shit! *Shit Start Time: 9:33 PM* *Shit End Time: 9:37 PM* Wow, that was a fast shit, despite my back hurtin’…

26. Bookie “Freak Hoe (G-Mix)”

>>> Sounds like it gon be anthemic fa dem clubz… Sounds like dude inta this shit, durin’ tha 1^st verse; good shit. Tha beat gives this a good vibe ta progress inta somethin’ nice! “I’m wit tha shits;” did I predict my shit at tha right time, lol? Maybe, one song too soon but I felt “tha shits!” Literally! A random female on tha hook; sounds good. A part of me feels like this reminds me of tha early ‘00s—ironically, Bookie said, “Don’t start no shit, it won’t be no shit,” no less! Anotha psychic feelin’, as I quoted that on tha last review! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it good, too; nice lil’ throwback-type club vibe, here, ta make this & tha next decade sound nice! My Rating: 4.1

27. Furly “Pop Dat”

>>> ROFL @ this hook; luvin’ all tha title parts!! Gotta give it up ta this chick! Speakin’ of throwback sounds wit tha previous track on here, this sounds like it has tha ‘90s to it. Lol, can’t believe this gon be Fredo Bang’s runner-up fa tha top!! My Rating: 4.4

28. Tweeday “Club Move”

Can he recover from his 1.0 flop, from tha last CD? >>> Of course, he can! This more like it! Definitely feelin’ how he can make tha “Club Move” on this track! Good shit; glad he keep this shit goin’! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good; glad he don’t run outta energy! “Goin’ Deezy on ‘em!” He got dat Level-type energy; gotta have it in ya! This one might have ta break “Pop Dat” from tha Fredo Bang runner-up challenge! My Rating: 4.4

29. Sam I Am “Piped Up”

Oh boy, Sam wit tha competition, here! I rememba hearin’ this one, too, but once again, didn’t add ‘cause I was goin’ thru shit… >>> Sounds good wit tha hook; always got dat energy “up!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and damn, his voice sound like he so watered-down from his previous energy. I know he went thru a near-death experience, two years ago—oh, he just said it, b4 tha verse ended… I actually met him right b4 that shit happened…

Either way, good shit; we #80sBabiesInOur30s, so we got dis! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s good. It’s almost like, with his voice like dis, it sounds like he spittin’ more fa tha streetz than just tha clubz, here. Wit that bein’ said, I still think it combines nicely… My Rating: 4.3

30. NBA YoungBoy “No Mentions”

Oh no… >>> Icky money shit in tha beginning… “I been hidin’ from attention…,” huh? Doesn’t seem like dat! He gets way more attention than me & I hold it down fa tha city way mo than him! I been, since he was only 7, turnin’ 8! Still doin’ somethin’ fa Louisiana at least once a month, since October 2007! Either way, not much else ta say about tha 1^st verse… Sounds like he wants to have a Jamaican-styled delivery wit tha hook and his flow; whatev… Shit, how many rhymes he gon squeeze in, on tha 2^nd verse? Yada-yada-yada flow; go away! My Rating: 2.2

31. B-Thone “Havin’ Thangs”

>>> I know this a sample from UGK but it almost seemed like this an oldie? I know I’m trippin’ when I say dat; I just thank other people have sampled this… Actin’ like it’s 100% somethin’ I neva heard b4, this sounds like a good lil’ hook and beat; almost sounds like Pimp’s voice turned into a lady’s… And yeah, Tremon, “Shout out to ThaAntidote.com;” props ta dem! Got tha 1^st verse goin’ on and it’s cool; do yo shit! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s cool, as well; do yo shit, once again… My Rating: 3.8

32. Johnny Hu$tle “Hustla”

Endin’ wit my boy! >>> Good shit; glad he always hustles! Strictly spittin’ good shit durin’ tha 1^st verse; he know what it iz! I’m likin’ that he brought back da oldies, on tha hook, just like how he was “Born 2 Roll!” Got tha lil’ bounce-type vocal flow on tha 2^nd verse, here, like he was a part of U.N.L.V.! Good shit, Hu$tle! Keepin’ tha 2^nd verse goin’ wit tha “urinal” shit. I remember when he took his “final piss of 2013;” I paid tribute ta dat & had my “final piss of 2018,” in Virginia, lol! Gotta love him! He a big inspiration to my character! We #80sBabiesInOur30s! Just see tha shittin’ pic I posted, earlier in tha review! He inspiration behind dat, too! My Rating: 4.4

Overall: Weird… Tha other compilations were 1:19 long. This one was shorter but because of my shit, it was a 1:20 review; it’s like it fit, like a fit, lol! But yeah, good shit; seemed like I liked this compilation tha best, so far! Not too many that struck me in a major way, like tha previous two comps had at least two 4.6+ ratings. This one only had one and it was a guilty pleasure. Either way, there were no shitty songs, outta 32, no less! Weakest one was ‘cause I heard it from a rapper that no longer likes me; weird… But yeah, I will continue this shit 2morrow morning, around 7:00! Stay tuned; do yo shit! Have anotha birthday on me & my reviewz!

A lil’ longer of a nap but I can’t stand my lower back pain, anymore… Gonna keep tryin’; here goes my review for tha birthday boy, DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 3! Start Time: 1:25 PM | End Time: 2:40 PM

01. Meter Gang “Designer”

R.I.P. Austin On Tha Track. >>> Mighta reviewed b4, when Austin passed. Just decent; not feelin’ tha hook at all, with tha gay vocals. A tad betta wit tha 1^st ½ of tha 2^nd verse but then, tha weird vocals come in toward tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse; no comment. My Rating: 1.5

02. NBA YoungBoy feat. Future “Right Or Wrong”

>>> Pointless in me reviewin’ YoungBoy; sounds like a whinin’ Lucci. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from YoungBoy and once again, I just can’t get inta his overrated-ass. Wanna hear when he make a song that doesn’t features lyrics about “money” or his “sons!” That’ll be tha day! As far as Future on tha 2^nd verse, it’s tha same flow as YoungBoy’s, only worse fa me. This ain’t 100% Louisiana; only 50, due to Future. My Rating: 1.9

03. Louis Badazz “Ratchet (Freestyle)”
R.I.P., as well. >>> Much more on a Louisiana tip, fittin’ your mixtape compilations! Good lil’ hook; almost sounds like an original track than just a freestyle. Good job wit tha verse; good set of energy runnin’ thru his veinz! “Born a ratchet;” good shit! My Rating: 4.2

04. Jay Lewis “Here I Go”

>>> Not anticipatin’ this “Here I Go” jacked beat… Just sounds like braggin’; woulda been betta wit an original beat! This 2018, here & we’re still rappin’ off non-original beats??? Damn, a 2^nd verse! La-la-la…; blah-blah-blah… My Rating: 2.2

05. Young B “Where The Tabs At”

Woulda prolly added this to my playlist at tha time, but I think I was goin’ thru shit… >>> Still, definitely nice; gotta give my boy a good review fa tha good track! Lookin’ fa “where” err-thang good “at,” on tha hook; nice! Beat sounds like a quiet club banga, which iz interestin’ fa this kinda vibe… Hearin’ what he got on tha 1^st verse and tha flow cool; good shit. Gotta luv tha flow toward tha end of tha 1^st verse; good emotion about tha “tabs” and “lean!” Go, “lean!” Tha 2^nd verse soundin’ just as good as tha 1^st verse, no doubt! “Gimme ‘bout 15;” that’s how long it takes to get to every spot in BR! Every spot “15” minutes away, which iz always good when connectin’ wit peeps. My Rating: 4.6

06. Backdraft “All Of A Sudden”
>>> Sounds a lil’ betta than tha female on tha 1^st edition. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it str8; can’t complain. Hearin’ tha hook and I’m kinda diggin’ how she repeats tha title a few times. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8, as well. Just an okay track fa me; nothin’ too special, tho. My Rating: 2.8

07. Jaye London & Famous “Catch My Balance”

>>> Tremon lettin’ tha streetz know, “Free Famous,” here, on tha intro. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope! I’m diggin’ tha “loaded” shit, as well as this semi-calm beat, over a club vibe! Diggin’ tha “Catch My Balance” shit; nice! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice; great lil’ collab! Likin’ how they alternate between tha verse! Been “poppin’ barz fa five dayz;” definitely nice! Gotta luv they party vibe! Always give me excitement fa tha future! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and they alternatin’ again; dope shit! Damn! His “face wet;” crazy shit! Tha shit Tremon can bring outta people! Dope shit, all tha way round! My Rating: 4.6

08. Picasso feat. Kocaine “No Mo Gangsta”
>>> Almost sounds like a mainstream-soundin’ beat but I’m feelin’ tha transition of club bangaz, here; nice hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and yeah, it’s all about bein’ an “‘80s baby” ‘cause we #80sBabiesInOur30s, as I say! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8; good job, Kocaine… My Rating: 3.9

09. Lil’ K feat. Jay Lewis & Spitta “Kut Up”

>>> Sounds like a cool lil’ hook, kuttin’ “up!” All about reppin’ fa tha Boot’s cities! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good. Not as special as some of tha club bangaz on here but it’s more on a street vibe, wit tha vocals… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ str8, too… Got Spit on tha 3^rd verse, a.k.a. tha “Spit Guy,” here, soundin’ great, of course. Definitely feelin’ how he comparin’ shit to states vs. tha hook’s cities! Good shit! My Rating: 4.0

10. Beretta Bred “No N Between”

>>> This dude sounded a lil’ cool fa tha streetz on tha intro (which was tha outro of tha last song). However, tha voice he has on tha hook sounds too much like a mainstream voice. Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse and it’s not terrible but I don’t take these vocals serious… More of an organic-soundin’ voice on tha 2^nd verse, here; likin’ that beginning part of tha 2^nd verse (“grind tha weed…”). More on a street vibe than club vibe, here, but still sounds good fa this mixtape. My Rating: 2.7

11. Arthentic “Rise & Grind”
>>> No thanx! Auto-tune’s bad wit rappin’; fuck tha singin’ even more!! *Skips* My Rating: 1.0

12. Bolo “Regular”
>>> Sounds like a cool dude on tha hook wit tha “dat’z wassup” part; let’s see how this turns out… Beat kinda cool fa rappin’, between tha streetz & club vibes… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and he aight wit tha rhymes. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8, as well; can’t complain… Hearin’ him on tha hook at times & it reminds me of a Johnny Hu$tle flow, just a different voice. My Rating: 3.8

13. Viper “Bitches”

>>> Anotha chick, here; kinda likin’ her hook, here. Almost sounds like Lil’ Jon on tha YoungBloodZ “Damn!” “Don’t start no shit, it won’t be no shit!” Her part iz: “Bitches stay talkin’ shit but they don’t neva do shit.” With that bein’ said, hearin’ her on tha 1^st verse and as it sounds nice, I have to admit, I like when she raps fast! Usually, I been dislikin’ that, lately. Hearin’ what she got on tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice; quickly transitioned to a lil’ talkin’ and then, some chantin’. Usually, I wouldn’t admit to givin’ a female rapper a 4.0, these dayz, but this track’s got it! My Rating: 4.0

14. Johnny Hu$tle “Right Na”

Glad I was predictin’ somethin’, two songs ago (without payin’ attention to tha tracklist)! >>> Sounds like a catchy hook, as well as tha beat; nice job, H-You-Dolla$ign! Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse and he in luv wit tha bitches, as always! He in luv wit love, strictly lovin’ everythang… Wish he would apply some of that love to me (doin’ business, that iz & connectin’ in person). I still have yet to link up wit Hu$tle, as every Louisiana trip progresses. Hearin’ him on tha 2^nd verse and, a “PA” shout out (to me? Prolly not, tho.); good shit. Likin’ how he sound consistent toward 2:10ish; “Tazmania!” My Rating: 4.2

½time: Affected by a few shitty songs on here, resultin’ in only a 3.2-rated CD. I feel like I like this mixtape, tho—tha good tracks, that iz! Let’s keep it goin’…

15. JT “Def For That Gang”

>>> Sounds aight, so far; a good club banga? A good/consistent-rhymed 1^st verse, here. Hearin’ tha hook and it not really catchin’ on fa me. I don’t thank it wack but I thought it woulda been catchier… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like a nice lil’ undaground street vibe. My Rating: 3.6

EDIT: S/O to OMG JT! OMG Da Label!!

16. B-Thone feat. C-Loc & Fiend “Getting Paper (Remix)”

Was kinda lolin’ at tha sample kickin’ in… >>> Sounds cool/funny wit tha “I’m A Grinder” sample in tha hook, here; good shit. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Thone and it’s soundin’ str8. I know him from Tha Antidote’s Joe On The Track (from Real Profit Entertainment) & a decade ago. With that bein’ said, good lil’ blend wit this mixtape/vibe, here. Keepin’ it goin’ wit an extra decade-and-a-half ahead of him wit Loc on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit. Can’t deny his consistency in tha undaground; glad he keeps it goin’. Oh, that hook, lol! When Kevin had a funny/catchy voice! Keepin’ tha ‘90s rappers goin’ wit Fiend on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit his heat. A 225-to-504 connection, here, soundin’ nice; good shit. Can’t deny when err-body know how ta handle these club beats by combinin’ tha streetz & club vibes together! That’s how you do it! My Rating: 4.4

17. Ace feat. Da Trio “2 Da Max”

Sounded good from tha last few seconds of tha previous song’s blendin’… >>> Sounds like a good hook; feelin’ tha unknown, undaground rappers feelin’ “2 Da Max!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and they sound good; “yea wit da yea!” Gotta always do it “2 Da Max!” My last trip to BR, I only slept three hours! I wanted as much action as possible! Tha only reason I slept was to charge my camera; that was it! I kept it goin’ that followin’ day, as I flew, drove a few hours to my job (at tha time) & then, to tha casino for free play! “2 Da Max!” With that bein’ said, tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, as well; gotta keep it goin’! A 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well; can’t deny it! My Rating: 4.1

18. Krucial “Light On”
>>> Sounds like a cool hook; gotta be “in [yo] zone!” Likin’ how this “light” be “on,” here; “I’m fulla dat shit!” Got guilty feelings hearin’ about all these “fulla dat shit” feelings! Soon, Frankie! Soon! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and this sounds nice; can’t deny it, here… Iz this tha same Big Krucial I knew from earlier in tha decade, where they were diagnosed wit cancer? He, like, 41, now? If so, he my dude; forgot what his voice sounded like. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s cool, too; can’t deny tha good club vibes, here. My Rating: 3.7

19. Bossman Dre feat. Tony Michael “Favorite Stripper”

>>> I’ono… Was just sayin’ to myself, as tha average CD rating starts risin’, “No more shitty songs to keep it up, right?” Well, not really; not tha shittiest but I’ll tolerate this, fa now. Not really inta today’s R&B/singin’ shit; not catchy at all fa me. That’s how I feel about tha hook, here. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s not 100% R&B, as we have tha slow rappin’, here; decent/ehh… Even tho I’m not tha craziest about this, hearin’ this in Tremon’s club nights must be nice! It’s always about undaground music; always! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and I’ono about all this spendin’ shit. It’s like, err-body can afford havin’ a girlfriend & kidz but not a music video or (at tha time) a $20 mixtape appearance, smh. That’s why I don’t fuck wit none of dat, on a serious tip. My Rating: 2.1

20. Tweeday “Love Me”

>>> Almost wanna skip wit that hook’s voice! Don’t wanna be disappointed that it’s Tweeday, so I’ll see how much more I can take of this… Naw! After 30 seconds, that’s enough! Where’s tha club bangaz of his?? *Skips* My Rating: 1.0

21. Luxury Dyme “Fall Thru”
>>> A female, here; sounds like an undaground Nicki or some1 I don’t fuck wit. Yeah, I don’t really have feedback fa this one; boring/not fa me. My Rating: 1.2

22. Whop Bezzy feat. 70^th Street Carlos “Feeling Myself”

Maybe, I can have some luck, here? >>> This sounds like a cool lil’ club banga…; nice lil’ hook! Gotta feel yoself! Hearin’ Bezzy on tha 1^st verse, “in tha back like a book sack;” good shit! Feelin’ tha energy—gotta bring dat energy! I neva got ta hear Carlos, yet, but I’ve heard of him. I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what he got on tha 2^nd verse, here… He sound cool; I fucks wit him, instantly! Definitely hope a bright future’s ahead fa him; good shit! Definitely a nice lil’ collab; I give this one props! My Rating: 4.3

23. NBA YoungBoy “Through The Storm”

Sounds like we’re back to tha sour voices… >>> Why anotha appearance from him? “We on dat cloudy doe-doe;” bet he don’t know who Doe-Doe iz (Boosie’s cousin—oh, I let tha cat outta tha bag)! Basically, that’s me sayin’ YoungBoy ain’t 100% on his BR shit. God, he even said, “do-do,” on tha 2^nd verse, too; he only wishes! I kinda am feelin’ a guilty pleasure vibe wit tha hook, tho. I think I’ll give this one a lil’ bit of props but as a guilty pleasure! My Rating: 4.0

24. Calliope Poppa “Project Hoes”

>>> Tha energy iz phenomenal, here!! Luvin’ tha bounce vibe, “out dat 1-0-3!” Thought that was “Gangsta’s Paradise” in tha background; definitely catchy, too! Hope this dude keeps tha consistent energy comin’, throughout tha years ta come! Changin’ up at :58? Oh, well, no more “Gangsta’s Paradise”—oh wait, it came back, lol! Luv tha confusion and unexpected turns this track’s takin’! Time for “Ready Or Not” ta hit ya, now… Was gonna say, how long iz this? I see it’s only 3:03; prolly maxed out at three minutes, so it’s fine. My Rating: 4.3

25. Bezo Luciano “Everything Big”

Watch him “Cut Up Bad,” as he says. >>> Mouse on tha beat! Sounds like somethin’ I mighta heard b4? Then again, I’ll just act like it’s somethin’ I neva heard b4, right nah… Feelin’ what he got, as far as “Everything Big,” on tha hook; good shit! Good shit on tha 1^st verse, too! Gotta have “big” dreams! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and he keepin’ tha energy comin’! Likin’ tha “shmoke” and “throat” lines, back-2-back; good shit! Got a 3^rd verse, too; gotta keep it comin’! My Rating: 4.2

26. Kocaine “Coming Back”

As he comes “back” fa anotha one… >>> Beat sounds too mainstream fa me; decent hook but no “jiggin’” wit this mainstream-soundin’ beat. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and let’s see how he can keep tha streetz comin’… I’ono, it’s aight; I rather hear a different beat, tho. It sounds like anybody in they right mind can make somethin’ like dis… Mo rhymes comin’ outta tha 2^nd verse, here, but I’ll put tha rating right down tha middle, due to its typical soundin’… My Rating: 2.5

27. Jay Lewis “The Long Way”
>>> Oh God, a sing-rappin’ track… Sounds annoying wit tha hook; not really my style, here… Either way, I still think it would sound nice in your club sets! Just not to my solo earz… My Rating: 1.3

28. DJ Tremon “DJ Tremon Freestyle”

Ooh, a surprise fa tha ending, wit an original producer’s credit (Eazy Beatz)? >>> I’m diggin’ it; I always dig that you have a good mood to you, when it comes to what you bring to tha table. It brings tha best outta people like me & that’s why I show you luv. See, at least you have an original producer on your freestyle, unlike some of what you showcased on jacked beats! But yeah, good goin’; maybe, more bonuses at tha end of tha next comin’ mixtapes? My Rating: 3.8

Overall: I thought it was good, despite there bein’ those tracks I ain’t really fuck with. I think you bring a good, nostalgic vibe to tha table & that’s why I’m takin’ tha time out ta review these…
