Review #1,813: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 7"

Reviewed on 8.15.2019 (Review #1,813)


Got tha final installment fa DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 7, right nah—tha review, that iz! Just like Vol. 2, this one got removed from DatPiff, smh. However, it’s on SoundCloud, so I’m able ta listen/review it…! Start Time: 9:39 PM | End Time: 10:37 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!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,813) reviewed on 8.15.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. O.U. Bird “2 By 2”
Looks like we’re gonna start this off right! >>> Sounds good; was caught off-guard wit tha “we don’t shmoke 1, we shmoke 2.” Thought it was gon be 100% str8 pillhead shit but this sounds good. Toward tha end of tha hook, he goin’ “2 By 2,” as far as tha pillz go. Wit dat bein’ said, good job wit tha hook & rappin’ ova this beat. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds cool; glad he luv gettin’ fulla dat shit! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty dope, too; gotta dig it! “Dat nigga fulla dat shit!” My Rating: 4.2


02. Jaye London & Famous “Aim Game Nasty”
>>> Sounds cool wit this vibe; almost sounds like Supa (sampled) on tha hook, when they say tha title. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good, strictly “rollin’ on dat suicide!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s cool; no Supa sample here, but it sounded like him… Overall, I’m diggin’ this; let’s keep it goin’! My Rating: 3.8


03. Shon Thang “Murda Man Talk”
>>> Almost ain’t feel tha voice, at first (thought it was YoungBoy or somethin’). However, this ain’t too bad. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it str8; let’s see what else this got… Hearin’ tha hook and tha voice sounds a lil’ more annoying, based off tha stronger emotion bein’ delivered. I’ono, I’ll have ta see how this one progresses… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s aight. Overall, I thank I’m slightly more annoyed than impressed… My Rating: 2.6


04. Yotsai feat. Taywrk “30mg”
>>> A DJ Swift beat, here; likin’ this title, too… Sounds like a good lil’ gangsta-soundin’ hook, wit tha cockin’ goin’ on. Beat’s on point ta keep these dudes hyped; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good; gotta be “fulla dat good…!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and dude sound pretty quick wit tha rappin’; good shit. Feelin’ his BR swag, as far as how he raps; good shit. My Rating: 3.8


05. Gang Music “How To Act”
>>> Likin’ this intro/hook; “fulla purp!” Tha beat sounds pretty dope, too, once it kicks in! Sounds like a classic Mouse/Q-Red/B-Real production; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good ta get tha “whole club dumb;” late 2010’s-type BR shit! “I finna hit up Vibes 2night;” I still gotta hit dat bitch up. I went to a coupla places (DJ’s Club Elite, Bella Noche, Tremon’s & a few others) but there’s a few I gotta hit up. Can’t wait fa my shake back! One day, next decade, I guess? Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here… Ain’t expect tha deeper-soundin’ voice; almost doesn’t fit tha energy level? Not bad but luckily, it was only a ½ verse and now, we got anotha member of Gang Music on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse… Comin’ through, bar’d-up! Good shit! My Rating: 4.2


06. Mista Cain feat. T.Y. & Lil’ Soulja Slim “Break Bread”
No title? >>> Sounds a lil’ catchy but shitty wit tha vocals, on tha hook. Guess this one called “Break Bread”? Got a normal-soundin’ Mista on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ like he braggin’, braggin’. “$30,000 in dat bag,” huh? Surprised I ain’t even get a dolla fa all tha great shit I do fa BR, yet, from him; disappointing! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from B.G.’s son and it str8; good lil’ contribution. Now, to anotha son: Soulja Slim’s, on 3rd verse: Soundin’ good wit what he spittin’; “Magnolia to da bone.” Good verses, here, despite tha shitty-soundin’ hook. On anotha note, Mista should “Break Bread” wit me! I been showin’ him luv since May 2009! My Rating: 2.8


07. Rocky Mountainz feat. Jade Delvalle “I Am Dope”
I know this one familiar; an added feature, this time? Needless ta say, I still feel tha same way as I did about this on Vol. 5… Did this new version need a female? It’s cool; it fits tha vibe, so it’s a non-affectin’ bonus. My Current Rating: 3.5


08. GG Records “Outside”
>>> Reppin’ fa da “slimez,” here… Sounds a lil’ annoying wit tha way they sound, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’ono if I’m diggin’ this flow. Just sounds like a bunch of lyrics bein’ slammed in yo face… Sometimes, I dig it; I might dig otha songs of theirs, in tha future… Not feelin’ tha voice of tha 2nd verse, neither; gotta ditch tha effects ‘cause it affects! Get it?! Like, what’s goin’ on from 1:48 – 2:00? Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics just bein’ shoved atcha! My Rating: 1.4


09. Beezy K “System”
Now wit only one “K”, unless I keep confusin’ this wit tha Beezy KKK; am I confusin’ myself, right nah? >>> Sounds like a YoungBoy flow; good rhymes but nothin’ special to catch on to me… Let’s keep tha YoungBoy-soundin’ music ta other people—oh wait, for tha past 19 years, I’ve been all about tha underrated. Guess I betta stay that way? My Rating: 2.2


10. Flow Gamble “Fuck A Hook”
>>> Sounds like a regular-soundin’ day in tha life of Flow Gamble, here, on tha 1st verse… Tha beat makes it sound more like it’s for tha club, so it’s like a club vs. real-life vibe, here… “If you my nigga, why tha fuck you neva post my shit!” Oh, I feel that line! Produced and had two tracks where dudes rapped on, as well as made music videos to. Not once did I get a retag, post, etc.; no luv shown! Maybe, next time, they should pay me instead of me payin’ them? Definitely feel dat line; tha struggle’s real! Continuin’ on, tha rest of this aight; feelin’ tha aggression…! My Rating: 3.7


11. Kocaine feat. IamPicasso “Gangsta Gangsta”
>>> Sounds good, on tha hook; good lil’ “gangsta”-soundin’ hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s str8… Tha 2nd dude str8, too; a str8 lil’ quick track, here… My Rating: 3.6


12. 225 Slugga “Pop Off”
>>> Hook sounds nice and energetic; luv how it took tha 2nd ½ of tha hook ta let tha energy rise! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and dude sound cool wit tha “dog” parts; throwback-soundin’ rap vibe that I would love! Keepin’ it movin’, dude got tha streetz on lock, here, but fuses tha club vibe very well, as well! Tha 2nd verse sound str8, too. Why he gotta go an auto-tune route, at times, durin’ tha verse? Sounds like it got drowned in tha wrong medicine, smh! My Rating: 3.7


13. Amber Jewelz “Out The Gate”
>>> Sounds like she focused fa tha clubz, here, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and she sounds str8; good shit, I’ll admit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice. Not really tha kinda shit I’d embrace too much but I’ll give her her props for me not bashin’ anythang about this track. My Rating: 3.7


½time: Mostly decent tracks, this time, with a coupla misses… A 3.3-rated CD, so far; let’s see how we continue…


14. Self 1st Santana “Po Up”
>>> Not feelin’ this a-tuned voice, on tha hook & beat. Durin’ tha 1st verse, it just sounds like random rappin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and I’m wonderin’ why I’m bein’ bothered…? Ugh, tha mumblin’!! My Rating: 1.1


15. Giovelli “Ex Pills”
Can we recover…? >>> A lil’ too sing-rap-y fa me, on tha hook. It sounds like they took notes from YoungBoy’s flow, smh. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds okay; nothin’ special; don’t even sound like it goes wit tha title? Odd that he says, “Be real,” so many times, before tha verse ends. It’s like, B-Real all about dem “pillz” but this ain’t on dat level… Tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s startin’ off annoying; what tha hell wit tha noise sound at 2:06? It’s like their interest fell off fa tha rest of this track; really? My Rating: 1.6


16. DAF x WUE “Unusual”
>>> Looks like it’s startin’ ta become a struggle fa me to recover feelin’ this mixtape, right nah… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s more annoying vocals; beat just sounds like a regular-soundin’ beat? What happened to tha Louisiana sound I was used ta hearin’? No comment on tha 1st verse, here; seems so long fa 3:16! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and I don’t have no comment, neither… “I’m in my bag like I’m some groceries;” ugh… Still 1:01 left? Why…? A 3rd verse, here—3rd!! No comment; just so much braggin’! “………walkin’ like Bambi…;” somethin’-somethin’… Like, whaaaaaaaaaaaat…?!? First, we got “groceries!” Now, we get “Bambi?!” My Rating: 1.2


17. 2.0 “Stupid”
>>> A lil’ betta, wit this hook/beat/vibe… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s str8; just a lotta rappin’ that just sounds like random shit? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and my interest goin’ downhill. I’ono, I can’t feel this as much as otha club bangaz on these mixtapes… My Rating: 2.4


18. Miss Portia “It’s Gon Cost You (NOLA Remix)”
Don’t forget that apostrophe in “Its!” >>> Glad “it’s” on a bounce level, here, at least…! An okay-soundin’ remix, here; rememba: I still gotta recover my interest fa this mixtape. Tha singin’ sounds okay; I’d rather that rap that repeats/slams in yo face fa dis bounce shit, tho. Not much after; ehh, guess we gotta move on…? My Rating: 2.9


19. Dame Cain feat. Karter With Tha K “Sit Up”
That’s a funny name fa tha featured artist… >>> A lil’ betta than tha bounce remix I just heard; sounds good wit this hook. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I ain’t thank this Karter was a chick. Sounds like an okay verse; glad she on a club tip, gettin’ “ratchet wit it.” Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here & Cain soundin’ like he got tha world by tha ballz, here—I mean, club, not world… Sounds good, mainly; I’ll give it props… My Rating: 3.7


20. Beatking feat. Furly “Infruname”
Furly on tha feature; let’s see if we get a bounced-up vibe? >>> Sounds like a good/hyped-up hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it cool from Furly; she keep shit on lock, despite it not bein’ a 100% bounce beat. I still like tha sounds goin’ on throughout tha verse; interestin’… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha Beatking on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his club-type shit. “Drug you like Cardi B,” huh? Oh, “Cardi…” “I want some head like dreadlocks,” huh? Good shit…! Ugh, that word! “Boujee!” That “J”! I rather shmoke one than see it in “Boujee,” lol! My Rating: 3.8


21.
No #21? Gonna have to not count it… My Rating: N/A


22. Box & Level “Too Much”
I got ta meet Box earlier this year, on February 28 (night of February 27):
Excitin’; he spotted me in da club! Now, let’s see tha excitement, here! >>> Finally, back ta normal!! Sounds great wit Level depectin’ tha “Too Much”-type hook! Can’t have “Too Much” Level! Good shit on tha 1st verse, too, Lev! “Shout out ta Mouse that’s my muthafuckin’ roll dog!” I really wanna link up wit tha both of ‘em (Mouse & Level)! Gotta make it a future opportunity! I have Box’s # so I may have a chance? Next trip? Keepin’ it goin’ wit Box on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit; glad he holdin’ it down as a ‘70s baby in his ‘40s, almost a decade older than me! Gotta keep it movin’! Glad he feels tha vibe! My Rating: 4.4


23. Gutta Soulja “Better Chill”
>>> Dude sounds good on tha hyped-up hook, here, on this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good, too; gotta luv tha hype! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it cool, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.1


24. Mona Lysa “Boss Shyt”
Got tha “Final” in tha ID, here… >>> Sounds like she got some good, consistent rhymes ta offer fa da club, here? Good lil’ 1st verse; I’m feelin’ her consistency… Feelin’ her “raw” shit, as well as tha hook, toward tha end… My Rating: 4.0


25. Bukk Fastgame feat. Bezo Luciano “Drip”
I rememba seein’ a video of this wit, of course, flashin’ money… >>> Sounds good wit tha “Drip” shit goin’ on, throughout tha hook. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Fastgame and it sounds good; I’ll give it props, despite bein’ hit by tha “money!” Got Bezo on tha 2nd verse and, of course, he reaches for tha “money” so fast…! Luv how he pulls success outta himself, all tha time. Glad he got that kinda success; glad he luv tha “Drip!” My Rating: 4.1


26.
No #26… My Rating: N/A


27. Symore Banks “UGQ”
>>> Endin’ wit a chick, here… Beat’s basic & her rhymes are ehh; kinda bored, here… Hook sounds like a Z-Ro sample or somethin’… Just ends wit tha long hook. I feel like tha hook’s tha best outta this one but not too much interest, regardless. My Rating: 2.5


Overall: Wow, this was unda an hour? Either way, this might be tha weakest outta tha compilations I reviewed. There were no 4.6+’s and most of tha tracks didn’t really give me a good vibe. Shout out ta Box & Level for makin’ a stellar appearance! Couldn’t imagine what my #1 woulda been if it wasn’t for them! Either way, glad you appreciate my time; hope you appreciate all of it! Hope to review Vol. 2, one day & hopefully, on my next trip down, we’ll link up/I’ll make it down on a club night!

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!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,805) reviewed on 6.30.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Deal Or No Deal 2” feat. DJ Supa Mike
Mike on da feature…; hmm… >>> Hyped-up intro; likin’ how you comin’ through in tha beginning, too! “Deal Or No Deal; I’mma still keep it real!” Even tho tha typical “money” shit throughout tha beginning of tha 1st verse, I’m likin’ your “Chuck E. Cheese” reference, fa some reason. Definitely likin’ how you build your aggression, throughout tha verse! Great job, overall; deliverin’ tha aggressive party rhymes, at they finest! My Rating: 4.0


02. “Don’t Do Dat”
You been ‘bout tha “Dat” titles; keep ‘em comin’! #02 on tha 1st Deal Or No Deal was “Hit Dat” and now, here we are with anotha “Dat”! >>> Sounds like a less-hyped beat, as far as tha energy but I’m diggin’ your repetitive hook, here. Bass-boomin’ 1st verse, here, comin’ through, “Still rollin’ like windmills!” We gotta link up tha next time I go to BR! You, me & B-Real need ta roll a jigga! Frfr!! Good shit wit how you come through on tha 1st verse, Lev! Likin’ how tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd hook has added sounds to tha beat; hot shit! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it str8. Sometimes, you gotta throw in tha “money” shit just to fill tha lines up; it iz what it iz, I guess? More added sounds for a full hook, on tha 3rd hook! Nice! Changed up, too, on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd hook! Glad you keepin’ tha interest in me up, as you tryna keep these people on they toes! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Feet Work”
Tha song you pushin’, right nah… >>> Sounds like tha classic-soundin’ BR production; good shit! Yeah, you got tha “Feet”-related titles on lock! Gotta keep ‘em movin’! Good, catchy shit to get da energy flowin’ on these lazybeez! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s definitely jammin’; can’t deny it! Good shit; keep tha energetic vibes comin’! Gotta luv Louisiana, of course! I’m 12 ½ years in, now! Luv tha continuous energy comin’ outta tha 2nd verse; can’t deny it! Why would someone deny it? Tha “Js” and “shades” references remind me of YaBoiBeezy and his 2011 “Good” track (“I got them shades on, I got them Js on…”); dope shit! My Rating: 4.7


04. “Stomped Out” feat. DJ B-Real
Tha song I’m tryna push, as I have a #StompedOutChallenge commercial series comin’ July 14th! That’s right! I been pushin’ B-Real with his Southern Tea Awards nomination by releasing 41 commercials to vote for him (including today, I have 14 commercials remaining for tha #Vote4BrealChallenge series). For this new challenge, I got 71 new commercials comin’ till September 22nd, right b4 tha fall starts! Now, as far as tha song’s review goes… >>> Luv how you feelin’ “tha one right here” vibe wit B-Real on tha beat! If “Feet Work” didn’t have enough energy, here comes this, right after! Definitely dope wit what y’all come up with, on tha hook! Luv how B-Real goes, “Uh huh…; uh huh…!” Then, just says, “Stomped out, stomped out…” That’s all he needs to make me luv this, to tha fullest! He just has to let his voice breathe on tha track! Frfr!! As far as what you got goin’ on throughout tha 1st verse, talk about energy!! You neva let it down since I first heard you, back on February 16, 2008 (same day I first heard B-Real, too)! Untouchable, Level!! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and you got shit goin’ on, once again! “My name Level, so it’s always on that level wit me;” great reference to your name! I ain’t gon lie, it’s a **PERFECT-RATED** track from me; can’t deny it! My Rating: 5.0


05. “I Shoulda Never” feat. S-8ighty
>>> Had a feelin’ this was gonna be a lil’ iffy fa me, for a start, here… Well, it’s more on tha slower tip, as we burned so much energy off da last two tracks! Hearin’ tha hook from S-8ighty and it’s aight; why tha “straight up” adlibs, like Trav Scott? Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you make this sound better, as tha beat sounds better with tha sounds… S-8 spittin’ a verse for tha 2nd verse, here… “Creepin’” in tha “DMs,” huh? I like it/stereotype it best with Zack Martino slippin’ into DYSON’s “DMs” for their “Mood” collab! Movin’ on, it was an aight verse; I’ll give it its props, regardless… My Rating: 3.8


06. “This Way” feat. Ms. Tee
N’awlinzin’ it up! >>> Didn’t catch tha producer you shouted in tha beginning, here, but it’s on tha N’awlinz tip, fa tha production! More energy, here; nice job wit tha hook, Level! Non-stop deliverin’ wit tha energetic vibes throughout tha 1st verse, here; good shit! Err-body gon be twerkin’ all summer ’19! Good to see Tee on tha 2nd verse, here, deliverin’ great rhymes fa this twerk session! Let Lexy Panterra join in, too; my gurl! No wack shit from da female here! Of course! Likin’ Tee’s “wobbly” and “twerk” shit before tha final hook, too! Go, girl! My Rating: 4.6


07. “Give No Fucks”
>>> Continuously linkin’ up wit Q-Red for tha productions, throughout your career; dope! Definitely likin’ tha beginning production and wit tha hook, I didn’t expect a Future sample. I’m likin’ it, tho, as it’s not too often you hear a hook wit just a sample in it, these dayz. Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you got tha energy on lock, of course! Though I don’t fuck wit tha “money” rhymes, you seem to catch my attention wit tha references (this time, “exercise”). Likin’ those lil’ interludes wit tha Q-Red beat sounds before each verse! Great idea, Q-Riggity-Riggity-Red, lol! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice wit your aggression! Gotta not “give” tha “fucks,” especially since we both 31! My Rating: 4.4


08. “24-7” feat. Big Poppa & BBE AJ
>>> Gives me a Trill Ent./Mouse-type vibe; likin’ this vibe! Good lil’ hook, even tho tha voice sounds more computerized than Louisianaized? Big Pop? Yeah, his voice a lil’ too altered to where I couldn’t recognize it was him, at first. Either way, his semi-corny, but energetic rhymes are decent for tha 1st verse, here. Here you are, on tha 2nd verse; glad you don’t have a computerized voice! Can’t deny tha energy; keep it comin’! Let’s hear what this AJ dude got, on tha 3rd verse… Sounds like a newer generation of DJ B-Real, wit how he sounds; anticipated for future appearances? Great energy; makes me anticipate tha next BR trip! Gotta catch you at a concert, Level! My Rating: 4.1


½time: Luvin’ tha energy and how you continuously bring it to tha table, Level! Neva give up on it! You’ll neva get old! Currently, a 4.4-rated CD! Great features, excellent production & you know what it takes to make me give props & review, Level!


09. “Quarterback” feat. J Buc & Mouse On Tha Track
Leggo! >>> Likin’ that this sounds like a cartoon, in tha beginning! J Buc on tha beat; definitely nice! Good lil’ hook; different kinda energy from tha continuous, top-notch energy on this CD! This has more of an addictive type of energy! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and this shit’s nice; you & Buc always have good chemistry, from earlier in tha decade to tha “Ms. Parker” shit (2016)! Dope shit! Glad y’all got anotha one, here! Now, here’s some1 I wanna link up with, tha next time I’m in BR: Mouse! Here he iz on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his catchiness, as always! Can’t deny tha Mouse! Hope he neva ages! We #80sBabiesInOur30s, so you know we’ll always be in this! Him and B-Real are only 23 dayz apart from each other, fa those who ain’t know! My Rating: 4.5
EDIT: Didn’t catch J Buc’s hidden voice on this!


10. “G-Shit” feat. Spitta & Box
Shout out to Box, as I met him at tha DJ’s Club Elite club, in BR, on February 27th, earlier this year (Pic #06 in link)! >>> This sounds nice; this a better version of tha less-hyped vibe (“Don’t Do Dat”); likin’ this beat and tha repetitive “G-Shit” hook! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 1st verse, Level, comin’ through wit your energetic shit fa tha streets! This tha shit we need! Not that typical-soundin’ shit err-body tryna be on, where it don’t even sound like Louisiana. Last night, I was watchin’ BET Jams’ Mixtape Playlist playlist and within tha 1st 20 minutes, three rappers had a money reference in they name! I’m like, damn, tha world gettin’ sad, ain’t it? Then again, there’s always peeps like you & err-body you have featured on your CD in Baton Rouge/Louisiana to bring life to tha shitty rap world we livin’ in, today! Now, we got Spit on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit tha tightness, as always! “I spit out tha box, on anotha level, I must admit! Spitta, Box & Level…;” of course, he knew to put you, Box & himself all in two bars! Pure tightness; don’t get no betta than tha #80sBabiesInOur30s shit! Outside of tha ‘80s babies, here comes Box, who was six months & two weeks shy of bein’ an ‘80s baby. Either way, for his age, he got it at all times! He got good quality for tha streets, clubs, whateva; glad he fit in well, still! My Rating: 4.4


11. “Represent”
>>> Anotha nice beat; luvin’ tha energy, once again! Good hook, Level; you know what it iz! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you can’t deny tha energy, of course! Tha producers know what it iz witchu and you know what it iz wit deliverin’ fa them! Oh, I’m luvin’ how you put tha area codes together wit tha math! See, bein’ autistic, I luv shit like dat! Been like dat since a youngin! Like, pureness: “220 + 5 & whataya get? You get a Baton Rouge nigga… 504 & whataya get? … 318 & whataya get? … 337 & whataya get?” Dumb shit!! Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty nice! Lol, non-Louisiana area codes on tha 2nd verse’s math! You got a “3rd verse” comin’ through, too; let’s see what kinda math gon come outta this (Korea, Canada, Puerto Rico, lol?)… Well, this was just a quick verse; not bad… My Rating: 4.5


12. “I Love It” feat. Tay Raww
>>> Sounds more simple than tha hyped-up anthems from this CD… This more on a mainstream tip, fa me; a lil’ too simple wit tha hook… I’ono if I’ll “love it,” so we’ll see what y’all gon bring… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s aight; I rather your twerk-soundin’ anthems than this regular-paced sex shit. I will admit, tho, that sometimes, tha production takes me back to a Hypnotized Mindz vibe, for some reason. Not that “I love it” like those, tho… So, we got Tay on tha 2nd verse and she ain’t bad wit her rhymes; I like that she’s fast… Lol, random: “I eat yogurt;” let’s just insert somethin’, I guess? Damn, she hit tha auto-tune! I rather her “eat” tha “yogurt!” My Rating: 3.6


13. “Make It Pop”
>>> Caught me off-guard wit tha energy in tha beat; nice! Feelin’ tha hook; can’t deny energy, of course! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s your typical, energetic vibe; I’ll call it a “Level anthem!” Tha tracks that have your energy & quality are considered a “Level anthem;” you got tons of those! A 2nd verse? Sounds more like tha hook just continued off and neva stopped. It’s like it went in its own lane but it’s still nice… My Rating: 4.4


14. “FAN” feat. Tweeday
>>> Likin’ tha crowd & tha beat, in tha beginning, here; good shit! Thought this was just a “fan” for tha title, but it’s an acronym for “fuck a nigga.” I’ll capitalize it, then… Feelin’ your energy & vibes, throughout tha hook! Tweeday has come a long way since tha MySpace dayz and he here iz, deliverin’ tha street/club vibes of tha 2nd verse! Good shit; keep tha high energy comin’! Got a 3rd verse from you, here, comin’ through wit tha heat, continuously; good shit! My Rating: 4.4


15. “Dem Lips” feat. Foxx & IL Duce
Lol, what iTunes know about capitalizin’ tha “L” in “IL Duce”? Nothin’! Only #80sBabiesInOur30s people like us know! Boy, I fuckin’ wanna link up wit Foxx, next time I’m in BR! >>> Pretty nice beat, here; almost sounds like a throwback club banga, but not with tons of energy… Good job wit tha hook, but I’m luvin’ when Foxx appears on tha hook! He know what it do wit “lips;” frfr, lol! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you know what it iz wit these chicks! Wonder how many ladies you’ve slept with, durin’ your lifetime? Now, we got Foxx on tha 2nd verse and yeah, he a “dawg!” “Great dane!” Yeah, Foxx! “Jiggaz & trainz;” luv that “Jigga Train”! Makes me think of bein’ in BR, on June 23, 2017! I was in da club & it was a nice night! I went off to da “Jigga Train”! Wit dat bein’ said, nice job, Foxx; neva age, either! Keepin’ it goin’ wit anotha ‘80s baby, IL Duce, on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through wit his female-appreciated club rhymes; good shit! Glad he still got it goin’ on! I’m sure I’ll link wit him in BR, in tha future, too. My Rating: 4.4


16. “Get It Tonite” feat. Britton Satcher
>>> More on tha slow, R&B vibe, wit this hook and slow beat… I know tha CD’s endin’ and this more of an ending vibe but it’s icky fa me… Let’s see how much you can save it wit your rappin’… Good rhymes comin’ from you on tha 1st verse, here. I’ono, but it’s remindin’ me of a faster-soundin’ Lil’ Nas X; why am I thinkin’ a country theme, outta nowhere? Level and tha “nine inches,” huh? What a max level fa these bitches, ya heard me? Biggest single digit: a “9!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and Britton’s comin’ through wit his singin’… Can’t really vibe off it; not really me, here. Sounds too slow to be qualified for a five-star-rated CD, fa me (already, two tracks disqualified tha five-star-rated CD certification), here. My Rating: 2.5


17. “Need To Change” feat. Adrian Bagher
This one wouldn’t convert to mp3 on my iTunes (message: “Error occurred while converting the file “Need to Change (feat. Adrian Bagher)”. An unknown error occurred (-42017).” Funny that tha error # has “420” in it, lol! As far as preparin’ myself for this track, I’ono… Now, iTunes won’t let me play tha file. Luckily, it’s on YouTube; lemme hear on there… >>> Not really my kinda track, for a start, but tha sample in tha beginning gives me a lil’ anticipation… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds okay wit what you rappin’ ‘bout. Sounds like one of those depressing ending songs; not my favorite but I’ll see what else happens, here. Sounds a lil’ betta when A chimes in with tha title part, on tha hook… Hearin’ A on tha 2nd verse and his singin’ ain’t bad, here; sounds betta than tha other singin’ peeps on here. I like what you spit, right afta A. With “life” bein’ hard and all dat, just gotta look at da positives. I’m goin’ through my hard times, right nah but I keep lookin’ at tha positive future I have, with my talents! Why you think I’m doin’ a commercial every day? Gotta show my generation what consistency & strong work ethics be ‘bout! My Rating: 3.2


Overall: Other than a few tracks, you brought tons of energy to tha plate, here! Talk about winnin’ all tha deals, even tho, statistically, it looks like I gave tha previous Deal Or No Deal a higher score. Either way, this definitely betta than most of tha shit comin’ out, these dayz! I’m a lil’ standoffish to take a breath for some of these new cats & their CDs that never come to me (let alone, if they come, it’s never within tha 1st week it comes out, smh)! Keep up tha great work, L-to-tha-E-to-tha-V-to-tha-E-to-tha-L!

Reviewed on 12.08.2017 (Review #1,765)


Tryna stay focused for some big things to happen… For now, let’s see what gon go down wit Level Club Banga King 3.5, released on Mayham Entertainment…! Start Time: 3:50 PM | End Time: 4:39 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.

© 2017 CD Review (Review #1,765) reviewed on 12.08.2017 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “I Got It”
New track, here? >>> Sounds good for this beat, tha intro and how you comin’ through wit tha energy/aggression! Consistent, gutta-ass verses/track to tha fullest, here! I like how tha hook real quick, as tha beat stops and you quickly have tha DJ explain how you “got it!” My Rating: 4.6


02. “DFWT” feat. Jay Lewis & Mouse On Tha Track
I actually heard it for tha 1st time on March 27, 2017 (I believe it was that night) while I was at Way 3000’s house. He was playin’ some shit off his phone… I never got to add it ‘cause I got it confused a lil’ bit wit how “I Bet U Won’t” was re-buzzin’… So, here goes tha official review for it…, finally! >>> Of course, Mouse doin’ tha track and tha hook’s pretty jammin’; lots of slammin’ cymbals! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope wit your aggression, of course… Oh yeah, for those that don’t know tha initials: “Don’t Fuck Wit That!” Hearin’ Jay on tha 2nd verse and he soundin’ good, cruisin’ down “Airline;” gotta luv that highway! And, endin’ it wit Mouse, comin’ through wit a quick lil’ bridge/short part; nice… My Rating: 4.7


03. “Hammer (Remix)” feat. Foxx & Hurricane Chris
I’m not gonna copy/paste tha reviewz… If I already know tha songs, just look at my review on Club Banga King 3 for more: http://frankiethaluckydog.blogspot.com/2016/08/review-1516-level-club-banga-king-3.html
My Current Rating: 5.0


04. “Wit Da Yea” feat. Mista Cain
I’ono why but I ain’t expect there to be so many new ones on here… >>> Recruited Koon to do this track; lookin’ forward ta hearin’! Sounds pretty nice, here; diggin’ all tha “yea wit da yea” shit on tha hook! During my 2nd trip to Louisiana, I met up wit a dude in G-Lane on June 24, 2017 & he was “Mr. Yea Wit Da Yea” (wound up gettin’ arrested). Definitely was a nice experience in tha hood, of course! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and you comin’ through wit your usual, club/street-soundin’ shit, here; gotta luv it! Mista on tha 2nd verse and it’s whateva; usual-soundin’ shit from him, as always… Hearin’ you on tha 3rd verse and it your usual, energetic self, here… My Rating: 4.6


05. “So U Think U Can Twerk?” feat. Big Choo
>>> Beat intro from Rodnae? Yup, correct (Beats How U Want ‘Em). And, this sounds like a catchy track/hook wit Big Choo on tha hook, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds catchy, as always… Diggin’ how this has a mix between a club and a street-soundin’ sound to it, in tha beat… Got Big Choo on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his catchiness… A simple-soundin’ verse to just make tha track go on by… And, a lil’ bridge from you, tellin’ ‘em to continuously “bend ova;” good shit… My Rating: 4.5


06. “Mohead Ain’t Dead” feat. Hard Head, iPod Da DJ, Hollywood Luck & Robert Paulson
What…?! Lol… >>> Production from Sinista, here; sounds like it gon be good wit a “Sippi” connection, lol? Diggin’ tha lil’ “oh-oh, oh-oh” shit in tha background (sounds like “Give Me That” (Webbie & Bun B) sample?); nice job on tha hook, Lev! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and you got this energetic shit on lock, of course! “CBK: Club Banga King!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it sounds like they have Dorrough-like vocab (“yeah, buddy”). Sounds like anotha voice right after? And, anotha? Nice “Sippi” connection, here, for one track… Too bad tha final verse ruined it; not diggin’ tha a-tune bullshit! Gay-ass verse, even tho it woulda been a nice flow fa this party track… Anotha dude on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse; not too bad… Their flow sounds like a familiar track from a while ago… Almost was gonna go under a 4.0, due to tha auto-tune/some aight verses, but tha vibe kept me goin’… My Rating: 4.0


07. “Gotta Lotta Respeck”
>>> A Mouse track, here… Oh, dedication to “MC Nero,” here. How ironic that I’m reviewin’ this today ‘cause an hour ago, I was at tha mountain where I shot tha tribute video from Nero, earlier in January! Haven’t been there since I shot that tribute video! I’m expectin’ to shoot a live review on there, too! Just hate that it’s 32 degrees out, again; hate tha cold! It snowed today in Baton Rouge; crazy! Sounds like a decent lil’ tribute/remake, here, wit how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse… Likin’ how you handle/remake tha hook; good shit fa tha ’17! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like a good verse, too… My Rating: 4.3


08. “Looser” feat. Louis Bad Azz & Philly Fade Jeff
Two “O”z? I’mma take one “O” out fa now… >>> Oh, naw, neva mind; you made up tha word “looser,” a more meaning to “loose,” lol. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope from you, bein’ “looser!” Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 1st verse; glad you always jiggin’, L-E-V-E-L! Crazy-ass 2nd verse, here; definitely feelin’ tha vibe! Sounds like anotha version of Sam I Am, mixed with Mystikal or somethin’! Gotta luv it; gotta luv tha party vibe! Damn; must be tha Philly dude on tha 3rd verse ‘cause I neva heard of this a-tune dude before, smh… Like, really? Why tha gay-ass voice effect to ruin things? No feedback… Anotha mixed review but I wanna still give it at least a 4.0… My Rating: 4.1


09. “He Say, She Say” feat. Bay Bay, B Will & Big Poppa
My Current Rating: 4.4


½time: A 4.5-rated CD, currently; definitely nice! Too bad a few auto-tuned parts ruined some of tha tracks but it ain’t fully ruin tha ratings! Luv all tha consistent energy at all times, Level! Keep it goin’! Neva lose tha energy!! Your energy’s why customers luv me at my job!


10. “Glock Up” feat. Spitta & Clever Kev
>>> Anotha Koon beat; definitely nice sound! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice fa this street anthem! Gotta luv that you always aim for A – A+, as far as your sound! Luv tha energy, luv tha vibes! Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and it’s pretty nice, here… You’re unstoppable, Level! Gotta luv that you embrace this BR shit and neva give up on it! I may have my self-esteem issues with my importance but I still do at least one thing a month fa Louisiana, it seems like… Hearin’ Spit on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his typical, street-soundin’ shit, as always… Kev on tha 3rd verse, here, pretty-much a cloned-soundin’ verse from tha Spitta verse… That’s what it sounds like ta me…; not bad… My Rating: 4.4


11. “2 Much” feat. Box
>>> Mouse track… A sketchy-soundin’ intro; wasn’t sure what to expect… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good wit how you sing-rappin’ tha hook… It ain’t bad; fuck tha “money” shit, tho… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and, at least you have tha energy, here… Got Box on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit a decent verse… I’m glad he ain’t stop wit this music shit, too… Some of tha lyrics are kinda ehh (today’s generation wit these “likes” and “timeline”) but I’m still feelin’ tha upbeat vibe… Almost sounds like Mouse has a hidden background vocal in tha hook, at times; diggin’ it… And, we got tha 3rd verse from you, comin’ through wit some good shit, as always… And, randomly, 13 seconds of silence at tha end…; why? My Rating: 4.2


12. “‘Bout My Money” feat. Zoe Realla & Lil’ Cali
>>> Sounds like a good beat start; definitely a catchy sound… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad… Tha beat sounds more like a street-soundin’ beat more than a club one, even tho it still has, like, tha two of them types combined… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and you “70805”-reppin’, here; good shit… Speakin’ of “Zoe,” still can’t believe he died in Ghosttown, right near my boy, B-Teze, earlier this year (on my late brother’s birthday, too)! Got Zoe on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit his cool-soundin’ vibe, as always… Glad he was able to turn from a nobody to a somebody by continuin’ to rap till tha final day… I like that “eBay, baleeve me” part; good shit, Zoe…! And, we got Cali on tha 3rd verse, always comin’ through as a celeb… Glad he always keeps it goin’ wit what he brings to tha table… We still gotta link up—well, you & Cali gotta link up wit me, one of these dayz! I always hit y’all up when I plan on comin’ down but we ain’t link up, yet… Either way, good shit, Cali; good shit… Tha whole entire time I reviewed this, I ain’t even criticize tha “money” shit on tha hook; totally bypassed me! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Not My Dawg” feat. Lil’ Soulja Slim, Young Juve & Spitta
>>> Nice beat from Koon; definitely a nice vibe! I’m diggin’ this hook; good shit, Level! I’m feelin’ how you identify tha fakes, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse from you and I’m glad you linked up wit tha son of a Soulja, here! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from tha son of a Soulja and it sounds nice. I feel like he’s got this current generation on lock; he ghot a future! I typed “ghot” by mistake but feel like Lil’ Soulja Slim can turn “got” into “ghot,” like, in a trend way! Crazy how I just came up wit that while I was listenin’ to him! Good shit he spit, too; gotta stay consistent! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from Juve and it’s soundin’ like a “gucc”-like verse; gotta dig it. Got a 4th verse here from Spitta, comin’ through wit his king-type shit; gotta dig it, too! Nice “Noah’s Arc” ending, too… My Rating: 4.7


14. “Fuck ‘Em” feat. Mike B & Big Blaze
>>> Ain’t catch tha producer’s beat tag in tha beginning but I like how this hook/beginning sounds like a tribute/remake to C-Murder; good shit! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it sounds dope wit what you bringin’ to tha table! Gotta luv your energy at all times! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Mike B and tha energy’s undeniable!! Just luv what y’all bringin’ to tha table at all times! Good shit! And, we got Big Blaze on tha 3rd verse; gotta fuckin’ love it!! Just luv tha consistency he bringin’ to tha table and I’m diggin’ tha “weed from tha same pound” line; good shit! No matter what age, time, generation, etc., Blaze always has that neva-dyin’ quality! Always reminds me of tha ’06 dayz/early dayz of Big Blaze! Just luvin’ what he continuously bringin’ to tha table! Definitely an A+-soundin’ verse! Luv how it didn’t have a hook repeat; crazy shit! My Rating: 4.8

17. “Go Get Beat Up” feat. Tweeday & Thug Brothers
My Current Rating: 4.7


18. “Get Cha Issue” feat. Ratchet Life & Beezy Boy
>>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ track, here; nice hook, Level… Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 1st verse and it sounds like dat gangsta shit that neva dies; good shit! Ratchet Life on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like he a cool dude from tha hood, here… I know I done known a bunch of Beezies from my time of Louisiana-listenin’. I may know this one but not too sure… Got Beezy Boy on tha 3rd verse? I hear tha intro before tha 3rd verse kicks in… Guess we gotta flip tha names in tha ID around? Hearin’ tha verse and it decent; nothin’ too-too special… Just sounds like random lyrics to keep tha party movin’… My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Surprised to not see “I Bet U Won’t” but, I guess, whatevz… Surprised to also know that this a five-star-rated review, despite everything I’ve recently been through wit Louisiana situations! Great job, Level! It’s all about that consistency, party vibes, excellent production, excellent collaborations & everything you continue to bring to tha table! Gotta keep it movin’; neva stop! Club Banga to infinity!!
