Broadcasting from outside ThaAntidote.com (Tha Antidote), here in Downtown Baton Rouge, LA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.
Howard Joseph Evans, Jr., known by his stage name D-Matic Da Beast, was fatally struck by an 18-wheeler head-on, drivin' down LA 30, westbound, on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, shortly after 10:30 PM; he was only 36 years-old. Evans was a native of New Orleans, LA but a long-tyme resident of Prairieville, LA. Evans graduated from Saint Amant High School, back in 2003. In 2009, Evans released his debut, Belly Of The Beast, courtesy of Gangsta Gumbo Music. Evans continued learning by attending ITI Technical College, later graduating with honors in 2012, in Process Technology. In 2015, Evans debuted his clothing brand called "VilleLyfe", to tha world. As tha years went on, Evans would help out by collaborating with Baton Rouge-based media outlet, ThaAntidote.com. Tryin' to keep it goin' for tha media, Evans' life was cut short on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, when he was struck head-on by an 18-wheeler. Today, July 25, 2022, would've been Evans' 37th birthday; FrankieThaLuckyDog would like to wish Evans a Happy 37th Birthday in Heaven!
Memories:
- On January 28, 2010, I first heard D-Matic on Kenner, LA DJ, Jimmy The DJ's Gangsta Gumbo, Vol. 4: The Audacity Of Dope & I reviewed tha mixtape.
- On May 30, 2010, I reviewed D-Matic's Belly Of The Beast release. Tha review turned out to be positive, as I gave tha release a 4.1 average rating.
- "Life Is Hectic" peaked @ #82 on my tri-weekly playlist ending 9.05.2010, totaling 16 spins.
- "Life Is Hectic" was featured on my Tha Louisiana Archives, Vol. 3: Chameleon-Changin' Chemicalz compilation, released on September 22, 2010.
- "Life Is Hectic" ranked #240 on my Top 575 Songs of 2010 year-end countdown with a grand total of 40 spins.
- On February 7, 2021, while randomly stoppin' at ThaAntidote.com, I met D-Matic inside. Even tho we ain't get a pic or drop, it was still an awesome moment.

My last review iz tha night iz from Black Da Gutta Baby Product, wit Masta Mind Entertainment. Start Time: 11:19 PM | End Time: 11:53 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 already love it. 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.
01. “How It Is” >>> Didn’t know what ta make outta this production, but it’s decent; sounds like it could be mainstream, wit an underground twist. Not bad wit tha content; good job, here. My Rating: 3.8
02. “Beat (Remix)” >>> This (and your voice, at times) has a good, H-Town feel to it. I like how it’s a song for tha hoes; sounds good… My Rating: 3.9
03. “What Niggas Do” Feat. Yung >>> Why tha Tupac in tha beginning? Good purpose, though, to influence tha hook. I like tha “I’mma smoke weed” part in tha hook; good, somewhat-addictive shit. Tha both of y’all are doin’ a nice job, here; good collaboration, “studio” environment and err-thang! My Rating: 4.2
04. “Believe In Me” Feat. Yung Damn, missin’ an “I” in “beleve”? >>> Beat’s pretty good, wit a different vibe, fa you ta spit some good rhymes; nice hook and verse from you. Yung’s soundin’ good, once again; “mama taught me how ta put my dick in my hand”? What does that mean? My Rating: 3.9
05. “Boo Boo” Feat. D-Matic >>> Kinda childish on tha title/usin’ it as an action verb; D-Matic sounds good on tha hook, outta nowhere, though. For you, you are rappin’ some good shit, though; can’t deny dat… D-Matic’s doin’ his thang on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit tha great verse, flow, and content! You holdin’ down tha final verse, here, wit D-Matic, too; gotta luv some of tha collaboration work goin’ on wit this CD! My Rating: 3.7
06. “Lights Down Low” Feat. Killa K >>> I dunno why but I thought this was gonna be a gangsta-type song wit tha “low” (like, keep it on tha “low”). But, this sounds a lil’ soft for me, for tha ladies… Killa K a lady? Prolly said this once before, but she sounds good… You sound pretty tight wit tha feature; rofl @ randomly sayin’, “like Level, iz you wet yet.” It’s kinda like, that song’s actually known? What about my music? Nobody quotes me… I thought I had some not-so-tight starting feedback, but it seemed to pick up… My Rating: 3.6
07. “UGK” Feat. Da Underdawgz I dunno why, but I thought tha feature said, “Da Underground Kingz,” as a DatPiff-removed song or somethin’… >>> Good vibe; lol, soundin’ like Pimp C, here? Sounds good wit tha “UGK”-type content. My Rating: 4.1
08. “Ride Wit Me” Feat. Lyric >>> Kinda soft, but I’m likin’ that hook wit tha gurl. Lyric’s not tha gurl? Hearin’ a feature on tha 1st verse, and I assume it’s Lyric; guess tha hook’s a sample/pre-made hook? Either way, I’m likin’ this, wit a West Coast tip! You’re followin’ tha featured dude, comin’ through wit that great voice and this talent! My Rating: 4.0
09. “Koolin’” >>> Sounds like a pop-rap beat or somethin’ (like “Soulja Girl”)…; really mixed-up shit, here, between tha pop-rap Vybe beat, vs. your fast-ass, tight content. Prolly could’ve shortened this joint a lil’ bit, but whateva… Overall, I think this iz a good turnout, on a relaxin’ tip wit tha “koolin’.” My Rating: 3.8
10. “Booty Clap” >>> Sounds like a good club song, kinda in an underground way. My Rating: 4.1
½time: I’m likin’ this CD; pretty consistent, here! You have a 3.9 for tha CD rating, currently.
11. “Cumin’” Feat. Da Fatt Boyz Two “M”s? >>> I see this iz on a sex tip, so you can prolly subtract one of those “M”s. You sound good wit this shit and rofl @ this hook; gotta luv my explicit shit! My Rating: 4.3
12. “Hustle Everyday” Feat. Yung & Mutta Gutta >>> I like how this sounds; you really holdin’ it down fa every single dude out there, no matter what their status/job iz! Thumbs up fa this hook; tha content’s definitely on-point!! Good shit from Yung on tha 2nd verse, too; lol, he all about dat tasty shit, ya dig? Who’s this Mutta Gutta? Ooh, a non-Baton Rouge version of Sam I Am, mixed wit a lil’ bit of Magic? Definitely feelin’ tha Louisiana vibe he’s bringin’ to tha table! My Rating: 4.3
13. “Money” Feat. John B & D-Matic Not my kinda title. >>> Why iz tha length 4:59? At least tha song iz on-point, without anything bullshitty comin’ outta it, so far… Good job wit tha hook; you really holdin’ shit down, once again! Good job wit tha 1st verse; keep reppin’ fa err-body! Tha 2nd verse iz John B—whoeva this iz—comin’ through wit good shit fa tha area you rep, too! Now, lemme hear what tha big dawg, Matic, has ta offer… Yes, definitely feelin’ this street shit he’s bringin’ to this track; nice job, but lol @ all this interest wit “money” err-body has! My Rating: 4.4
14. “Snakes” >>> For tha ladies? Thought it was gonna be for tha male haterz. Good job wit tha rhymes, too; likin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha verses, too! My Rating: 4.2
15. “Relax” >>> Sounds like a calm version of tha previous song, lol; good rhymes about tryin’ ta “relax,” ya feel me? My Rating: 3.8
16. “On My Own” >>> An okay sound, so far; nothin’ too special for me… Then again, I didn’t hear your rappin’, yet; you know your rappin’ iz what adds that extra spice to tha track!! Good job; keep, keep, keep, keep, keep goin’!!! My Rating: 4.1
17. “Mind Ur Business” Feat. John B >>> Iz John B tha singe—oh, I keep forgettin’ he’s a rapper, lol. But, anotha good pre-made hook song, here, it sounds like. You can get away wit any kinda content, for tha most part; most rappers I be hearin’ can’t pull it off like you! John B sounds good wit his advice in tha 1st verse; thumbs up… Here you are on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit your evidence; good job, between tha advice and tha evidence! My Rating: 4.0
18. “Witout Cha” Feat. Yung What kinda title’s this? Should it be “Outcha”? I think it could be both wayz… >>> Sounds good for a slow song. Oh, actually, it should be “Witout”; compound way. Not really into knowin’ that there’s a sample goin’ on here wit tha vocals on tha hook (Simply Red “Holding Back The Years”). Actually, I’m likin’ it a lil’ betta; at least it ain’t a high-pitched female vocal sample! Good collaboration, once again, between you & Yung; can’t deny it! My Rating: 3.9
19. “Wham” Feat. Yung >>> This iz catchy; a sound effect in tha title iz always good! Yung’s comin’ through wit some nice shit on tha 1st verse! “Like an axe ‘bout ta come out dis bitch;” nice line, especially havin’ an “axe” as what comes out! At least it ain’t on some typical, gun shit; thumbs up fa this shit! Based off tha length, I thought there was gonna be three verses, but it’s only two. You’re on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit rhymes you gotta luv, especially when “marijuana”’s in it! My Rating: 4.2
20. “Yellow Bone” Feat. Yung >>> This iz aight for me; sounds like a random voice goin’ on, here, wit tha sample… Yung sounds like a calm version of Level, a lil’ bit, wit tha voice, here, mixed wit a lil’ 225; good job, again… Again, I thought this was gonna be a three-verse song, but it’s two, lol; nice job from you wit your catchy flow, Black; gotta keep it goin’!! My Rating: 3.9
21. “Music” Feat. Megan Moton & Yung >>> Beat’s a lil’ soft for me, here… You’re on tha 1st verse and it sounds good; analyzin’ tha fakes, here, wit some good shit… Tha hook’s a lil’ dry for me; liked tha Killa K one and also, tha Lyric feature one better, whether it was pre-made or not. LOL, anotha two-verse song outta nowhere (tha lineup confused me, this time); good job, Yung, again. My Rating: 3.3
Overall: For me not bein’ one bit in tha mood for tha reviewz, right now, I thought this CD was definitely nice; felt great to give it a good review! Keep up tha great work; thumbs up fa bein’ nice and consistent wit what chu do!

A lil’ late by a ½ day, but betta late than neva. Currently not online yet, I’m about ta review Jimmy The DJ’s latest mixtape compilation! Under Gangsta Gumbo, it’s “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 5: Still Up 5 Nothin’”; no host? Wasn’t it ‘pose ta be someone like B.G.? Also, it has been 649 reviewz ago that I reviewed Vol. 4, lol! Start Time: 10:51 AM | End Time: 1:10 PM
Quick Note: 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.
01. Kevin Gates “Intro” Oh, okay; I guess semi-hosted, then? Should be interestin’, although only eight seconds? >>> LOL, it was so short but spicy ‘cause it was ‘bout dat “gangsta gumbo!” My Rating: N/A
02. Kevin Gates “Gangsta Gumbo Freestyle” Should be interestin’; recorded by phone? Lemme hear! >>> Damn, soooooo much in only 27 seconds, so far!! Not even by phone; how’d this happen when he’s locked up?! One of tha best freestyles in a longgg-ass time!!! Lots of “sandwich” things, here; he definitely goin’ nuts… well, nuts on tha mic, wit a regular voice, lol! SMH @ tha two-second silence at tha end of each one, though; there’s an option to put no silence at tha end when burnin’ CDs. My Rating: 4.9
03. Level “Hot Spot” It gon be like a “hot spot” today and tomorrow, peakin’ in tha ‘90s! I was tryna get a freestyle last night and sweatin’, so I didn’t get ta review this last night ‘cause of tha heat. But, here I am!! >>> LOL, now, he has a water bucket as tha beat background? Funny; too bad he ain’t hittin’ me back wit doin’ a freestyle and drop for my radio show. You know, I’m startin’ ta get lazy wit caring; rather get someone that can answer me! I dunno if I should comment on tha verses, here, ‘cause everything’s, like, tha same. Of course, tha rhymes are catchy for tha ladies; I’ll leave it at dat. My Rating: 4.5
04. Louisiana Ca$h Feat. Quick, Money Bagz & INFO “I’m From Louisiana” You may spell his name wit “$” but I think it’s wit a “z”. Anyway, not too long ago, I heard this, and it seems to be a big anthem; much betta than tha “Dip” song! Thumbs up fa tha crazy-ass, Louisianaful hook, ya dig? Thumbs up ta Ca$h fa breakin’ down what it’s like when you’re in “Louisiana;” hope my waiting of gettin’ ta “Louisiana” ends soon! Money Bagz may have been good/decent wit tha 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse, but Quick, lol? LOL @ Quick on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse; what crazy shit he spittin’ wit tha “cook crack/same what we cook gumbo in!” INFO’s pretty nice for a newbie on tha 3rd verse; good shit from you, especially tha self-esteem he has!! My Current Rating: 4.7
05. B.G. Feat. G.A. & Tay-Lo “Ride” New song? Thumbs up for tha longer lengths; I think that adds good luck to a mixtape when there’s no mixin’, lol? I like ‘em both wayz but for you, it seems dat I’m likin’ tha CD a lot more when there’s no mixin’. >>> Ooh, this iz new; thought Gar was on tha feature, at first, lol. I’m really enjoyin’ tha dark-ass vibe in tha beat as well as tha “down bad” theme for tha hook! Good shit goin’ on wit tha 1st verse; thumbs up fa this actual-underground-soundin’ song from a mainstream rapper (B.G.)!! B.G. sounds pretty nice and gutta wit tha deeper-soundin’ voice on tha 2nd verse; much betta than tha good/typical shit I’m used ta hearin’, these dayz! Tha 3rd verse iz pretty gutta, too; this definitely iz dat official shit!!! My Rating: 4.8
06. 2ooley Feat. Lil’ One “Marlo Mike” Good looks on havin’ tha feature on tha ID (in this case, Lil’ One = Lil’ One Da Ryder)! I actually had to do a manual check when I aired it on my radio show ‘cause you know I have a dignity rule: No song airs unless I know all tha artists’s names! Sounds like a new song everytime I hear it; such character in 2ooley’s voice wit all dat roarin’ on tha hook, lol!! One of tha more-soundin’ gangsta songs that’s out now! I’m expected ta be in one of his upcomin’ music videos, too; all about exposure!! Good shit from 2ooley, of course, on tha 1st verse; luvin’ his own tooley, lol! Lil’ One Da Ryder’s pretty nice on tha 2nd verse; this iz much betta fa him than tha shit I’ve heard on one of his CDs, so this iz a plus fa him. …I guess that’s him on tha 3rd verse? A lil’ confused… I think he’s on tha 3rd verse; not sure what’s goin’ on wit tha 2nd verse but tha 3rd verse iz pretty nice, too, wit tha content. Damn, mega fuck-up? Why tha last 40 seconds iz silence? Did it not register correctly on tha CD? My Current Rating: 4.6
07. Young Ready “Deebo Bounce” I didn’t even realize “Bounce” was a part of tha title. When I aired it on my radio show for you, I was thinkin’ it meant “bounce” from bouncin’ a track? I’m glad I went tha safe route, though. Looks like Young Ready luvs tha lucky spot of #7 on tha CD? I remember on Vol. 2, “Cock, Aim, Shoot” was #7, too! Now, lemme do a lil’ review for this! >>> Thumbs up fa Savage producin’; sounds like some of tha omega-soundin’ shit I’m used ta hearin’ from people! Such a catchy hook wit tha “Deebo” shit! Tha 1st verse sounds pretty entertainin’; you know Ready’s all up fa anythang! Luv tha cockiness!! LOL @ tha “hoe”-related shit on tha 2nd verse; seems like Ready has everything on lock? Happy ‘late’ birthday, too! Thumbs up fa tha “’all day’ like T-Lo” part; you know you got BR blood in ya if you know “All Day” before “Uh Oh”! Tha 3rd verse iz a combination of tha 1st and 2nd verses; nothin’ but dat dumb shit! My Rating: 4.5
08. Lil’ Cali Feat. Level & Tank Jones “Money Right” LOL. Due to one of tha things on tha track, it’s pretty much a novelty to me, but I’ll keep tha same rating; glad this iz tha version where each verse iz a full verse! My Current Rating: 4.9
09. Sess 4-5 “Hunnit Jeez A Month” Really likin’ tha spellin’, here! How will Nuttin’ But Fire Records do on this compilation? >>> Sounds like a cool song; fits good wit tha “Money Right”—tha N.O. version! Nice job wit tha 1st verse; you know what it iz when you fuckin’ wit Sess 4-5! Tha 2nd verse iz also pretty catchy, but “a hunnit jeez a month”? Sounds like a hard mission but can be stereotyped as one of those fantasy thoughts. Tha reason I don’t get “a hunnit jeez a month” iz ‘cause a bunch of non-serious people don’t do frequent business wit me. Or, they hide away; I’m not a fan of uncalled-for secrets, too; makes me feel less of an upcoming, growing person. My Rating: 4.3
10. One-i Feat. Max Minelli “Don’t Have To Like Me” Liked tha “Sick Wit It” dayz; let’s warp ta 2011 wit this new joint! >>> Ooh, Stevie Drumma on tha beat but why tha dumb-ass “The Boss” beat tag in tha beginning (J.R. Rotem’s beat tag)? Sounds like a tight beat, regardless, as well as this H-Town/screwed-and-chopped-soundin’ hook! One-i’s comin’ through wit some tight, focused shit on tha 1st verse; thumbs up fa always comin’ through on tha Gangsta Gumbo mixtapes, One-i! Max’s on tha 2nd verse and it’s all about “luvin’ [yourself];” most definitely! LOL @ One-i on tha 3rd verse; definitely luvin’ himself! Good job wit this joint, too! Looks like this finna be a five-star-rated CD? My Rating: 4.4
½time: Wow, this seems like a real hot mixtape!! Of course, I thought it was gonna be hot, but it’s, like, 10-for-10 when it comes ta seriousness (kinda 9-for-9 since tha intro wasn’t a song)!! Wanna know what tha CD rating iz, currently? It’s 4.6; major moves!!!!!!
11. Terror (Down Bad) Feat. Young Ready & Lee Bank$ “Baton Rouge Thang” I heard this on DJ 5150’s latest mixtape compilation and I thought this was somethin’ serious; defeated “I’m From Louisiana” when it came to tha ranking! Didn’t know “thang” was in tha title; smh @ their error (which also, they didn’t have “Ready” in Young Ready’s name). Wouldn’t’ve expected a Down Bad-type song ta make your mixtape but this iz dat A+-type shit!! Terror’s such a character wit his “hit tha muthafuckin’ blunt!!!” on tha hook!!! Also, when he’s rappin’ on tha 1st verse, it sounds like some Tupac/’90s-sampled music on tha beat’s keys!! Oh, I keep forgettin’ tha “blunt” part was just tha intro. But, tha hook’s pretty nice wit tha “windmill” shit (I think that’s what he’s sayin’); go, Terror!! Ready’s comin’ through wit some hyperness, plus sirens, on tha kick-ass 2nd verse!! Lee Banks iz someone good on this song, too. Although he had R&B music when I reviewed him, he’s pretty serious on this shit, which iz a big plus! My Current Rating: 4.8
12. Lil’ Ganggsta “All Fucked Up” Glad he’s on here! Looks like err-body I’ve loved iz on this mixtape in a great way!! >>> Beat from Wodieson; let’s see how this new joint gon turn out! Volume sounds a lil’ lower than tha previous songs. LOL, catchy hook; what else iz there ta say? “My mind always alert,” no matter what tha case iz; I always prove ta people dat I have tha brains in any situation! LOL @ his “rollin’” obsession on tha 1st verse; I wonder what date and time he started dat shit? I think it’s creative if people remember date and time! For example: On June 10, 2011 @ 8:55 PM, I witnessed someone snort cocaine for tha 1st time; had ta look at my phone’s time, ya dig? Good shit, here, Ganggsta; keep tha rappin’ brain up!! Tha 2nd verse sounds like an obstacle course dat Ganggsta has ta cross. However, he stayin’ alive fa a long-ass time!! My Rating: 4.3
13. Dog Da Cutthroata Feat. Foxx “Intoxicated (Remix)” I like to call this a remix, although it might fit in tha “To The Max” category, where there was an added verse to make it an official version. Surprised he made your CD, too; lots of 2009-discovered people comin’ through in a nice way, here! Sounds like a funny song; you know Dog has his own flow and it’s catchy, especially wit all tha “intoxicated”-ass shit, lol! Up, Foxx said it was a remix; guess it’s official… Why does tha quality in tha audio not sound as good? I know I have this; I think mine was a better quality? Glad Foxx came through, though, ‘cause his energy makes tha track hot, too! LOL, didn’t realize I rated this as high as 4.7; I guess ‘cause I rated tha original version between 4.5 and 4.6. My Current Rating: 4.7
14. Dee-1 “Blue” Huh? He’s on tha back cover, too? Thought I saw his face but I had to think I was 23 years-old and not 19 when thinkin’ about it! He betta’ve paid you for it! I don’t see why there’s tha attention (even following on Twitter, too)? Even my grandma thought that was weird when I sadly, and ironically, brought y’all up yesterday. If someone hasn’t talked to me in at least two years, why get their attention outta nowhere? They need to ‘cause then, you can give them a WTF look. As Alexia told me, “I think u should stop communicating wit him,” which should include caring, in a serious way. Prolly could’ve made this #13 but I guess it took an unlucky 13 to get to this, anyway. I realized, tha 1st time I talked to you, you were 23 years-old and now, I am. However, I dunno if it’s ‘cause it’s 2011 or whateva, but I don’t take shit from anyone, anymore. Plus, I don’t give a shit about anyone, anymore, unless they give a shit about me in person. By havin’ this perspective, this iz why my status iz higher and why I’m gettin’ ta travel/do events. Gee, no wonder why I didn’t go to Louisiana last year: dealt wit a bunch of fake people between resurrections and unexpectations, didn’t earn any money networking since 2008, buried myself in a bunch of shitty-ass reviewz, and I gave a fuck about people. >>> Wow, talk about a complete deal-breaker from tha previous song’s intros…; you weren’t on any drugs while addin’ this song, were you? Regardless, I think this iz pretty nice wit tha rhymes and tha beat’s startin’ ta sound good. Tha sample ain’t even too bad, either. Regardless, who cares what I say ‘cause he ain’t gonna read this, anyway. ROFL, what happened at 2:23? Random yellin’ that I’m likin’! LOL, a whole verse fulla tha word “dawg;” neva would’ve expected dat comin’! But yea, actually like this; forget all tha shit I doubted in tha beginning but on tha real, I could’ve at least earned somethin’ from Dee-1 by now. My Rating: 4.4
15. Preach, Ace, C-Love, Bro-Bro, Lil’ J, Puppy, Delwin The Krazyman & Ceddybu “Pulling Off” LOL, I knew of what song this was based off tha length. I thought Nu$$ie was gonna be on it but it’s cool ta see all these random people; wonder how everyone gon sound like? >>> Big Josh doin’ tha beat, here; it’s all luv ta have tha Nu$$ie/Big Fancy team as producers! LOL @ tha hook; sounds like an Obama speech, in a really random way. LOL, was this where tha title of tha mixtape came from? I heard, “we still up, five nothin’,” or somethin’ like dat. Anyway, this 1st verse iz pretty good, minus tha random “Nu$$ie!!!” ad-libs (why am I still writin’ that in 2011? Wasn’t I 20 when it was cool ta see dat written?)… LOL, a new Ace? Not even tha one from G-Lane or tha one I heard from New Orleans? LOL, but I’m really likin’ tha anger and seriousness he bringin’ to tha table! LOL, tha ID’s so long, I thought Bro-Bro was next, but it’s this C-Love dude, comin’ through wit some catchiness… Bro-Bro’s on tha 4th verse, of course, comin’ through wit some catchy, 225-type shit! LOL, by tha way, once again, where did tha 1st three mysterious dudes come from? Were they hidden people or are they newbies? Lil’ J’s comin’ through on tha 5th verse (I spell him as “Lil’ J” ‘cause I think there was a Lil’ Jay from New Orleans, who dropped a “Gold Teeth Gator” CD in 2001); pretty quick… Tha 6th hook changed ta Puppy and it’s too much of jackin’ wit tha quoting; really should leave tha quoting alone. I was walkin’ down tha block yesterday, and I was thinkin’ dat tha best way ta make a song iz to not quote people; just consider yourself underrated and come up wit your own shit. Puppy does sound pretty good on tha 6th verse, though; not too bad… Hope Delwin ain’t too Nu$$ie-cocky on tha 7th verse… Actually, it’s pretty catchy wit tha crazy shit he spittin’, lol. Oh, not likin’ tha “Nu$$ie!!!”-imitated “Delwin!!!” ad-lib. Final verse… Round 8: Ceddybu, comin’ through wit some crazy flow and dat voice, lol! Much betta ta hear him on somethin’ like this but then again, I haven’t heard much of him, yet; I feel like I’ve talked ta him more than tha amount of songs I’ve heard from him. My Rating: 4.6
16. Damage Feat. Level “Still An Alcoholic” LOL, guess you got tha e-mail from Joe (MMX), too? Oh yea, I keep forgettin’ about tha Real Profit Entertainment/Gangsta Gumbo collaboration/combination. Don’t think I got ta peep out tha remix (to tha original “Alcoholic” song), yet; I aired a different song he sent me onto my radio show not too long ago. >>> Sounds like a brand-new production, too; somethin’ serious, here!! Glad you got some Damage on here; good hook, too! Definitely fits in a great position to where “Nutcase” was on Vol. 2 (#15); perfect fiting, once again! Good shit comin’ from tha hyper-soundin’ Damage, here; thumbs-tha-fuck-up!! Level’s on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit a 2011 perspective, here; definitely tha shit when he keeps shit up!! Yea, Damage comin’ through on tha 3rd verse, too; nothin’ but some good shit goin’ on; gotta luv tha consistency dat doesn’t stop!! My Rating: 4.7
17. C-Loc “Excuse Me Sir” This looks like somethin’ serious, too! Let’s see how his polite-ass (lol) gon do, here! >>> LOL, a Wodie beat fa C-Loc? Good look fa 2011! Hopefully, if Loc still has tha same numba, I would like ta get a freestyle from him for my radio show and a drop (or maybe an interview instead of tha freestyle). LOL, tha hook’s pretty nice—polite and kick-assness, lol! Sounds like a good mix, includin’ tha 1st verse, where there’s some good rhymes and punchlines goin’ on. LOL, some of this iz startin’ ta sound cheesy fa me; 2nd verse only aight, since tha cheese iz startin’ ta mix in… My Rating: 4.1
18. Lil’ Witness Feat. Young Bleed “Let Me In” Original version? Heard tha remix 1st and now, an original version? Am I thinkin’ right? I have a feelin’ they gon sound tha same… >>> Yea, this iz tha same version I heard, even though I don’t think “remix” should be in tha previous ID I heard this on. Anyway, just like tha previous review, I gon re-review it now: Like tha intro wit tha conversation, tha kick-ass beat, tha nice hook about openin’ a door (lol), and you know dat Witness’s comin’ through wit tha crazy-ass shit in tha 1st verse!! Of course, Bleed sounds good on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat hood shit, as always! And, ta end it off, Witness’s comin’ through wit some mo good shit fa tha ears out there! My Current Rating: 4.7
19. J.R. Feat. Lil’ Cali “Helluva Night” LOL @ tha “helluva” and “night”; interestin’… Didn’t even appear on J.R.’s “Street Dreams” album but it’s here/on tha CD he has wit Bic Jack & Dirty Harry! Plus, thumbs up fa havin’ him on tha back cover! He a real-ass dude; luvs talkin’ ta me and keeps up wit me, too! Catchy hook wit this Mod Productions beat, of course. He comes through on tha 1st verse in a nice way, too; gotta set tha mood, ya dig? And as for Cali, he comin’ through nicely fa J.R.; glad they’re connected like dis! Good job wit J.R. endin’ tha song off on tha 3rd verse; he really got his connects up, which iz a big plus for a real dude like him! My Current Rating: 4.4
20. D-Matic Feat. K.Gates & Young “Life On The Line” I did some of tha editing on tha cut-offs wit tha tracks; let’s see if I can guess tha last song (wit 5:00 on tha length)… … …D-Matic? Wasn’t he ‘pose ta be on here? *Checks ID* It iz!! This looks so familiar on tha ID, but it ain’t comin’ up in my iTunes; lookin’ forward ta hearin’!! >>> Kinda nervous ta hear a beginnin’ beat like this; hope nothin’ gets jynxed… Okay, once tha hook came in, I knew it was gonna be on ‘n’ poppin’; great voice he has!! I feel bad; I think I got his # a year ago and neva got ta call him, yet. I need ta adjust myself a lil’ betta… Anyway, Young’s on tha ID 2nd but iz on tha 1st verse? Feelin’ what he spittin’ on this shit; very consistent!! This iz a nice way ta end this CD; I guess I should trust you when you say, “definitely our best, yet [Vol. 5]!” Tha 2nd verse sounds serious; tha flow’s aight but tha consistent lyrics are on, here! Tha 3rd verse sounds pretty serious, too; “lost so many pills,” he said? Either way, I’m definitely likin’ tha lyrics, once again. My Rating: 4.2
Overall: LOL, I didn’t subtract any extra time durin’ this review. My dad came through and my mom called me on tha phone. But yea, all tha songs were on ‘n’ poppin’; not one filler!! Congratulations on this shit! Props on puttin’ my logo on tha back cover; definitely appreciated! Tha CD case was a lil’ broken when I got it in tha mail, unfortunately, but havin’ tha hard copy iz what’s up! Also, thumbs up fa Ta-Ta-2ooley and Ganggsta also on tha back cover, too! You really won wit this; hope it looks good on your blog! I would suggest copyin’ tha link just in case I have ta fix things.

Damn, I haven’t done an over-eight-page review and/or a two-plus-hour review in a real long time!!
Tha next review I have iz for a dude by tha name of Gutta Baby signed wit Masta Mind Entertainment. I’m not sure if this iz from ’09 or ’10 but all tha songs are ’09: my review for his “Time 2 Get Back 2 The Streets Vol. 1”! I was gonna do tha review yesterday but a lot of confusion happened when one of my friends texted me dat I lost my wallet. Then, I got tired to where I took a nap, my cousin came up to visit, and I had to work on mailin’ everyone’s awards… Now, let’s see if I can focus… Start Time: 8:53 AM | End Time: 9:37 AM
Quick Note: 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.
01. “While I Grind” Feat. Lil’ Yung >>> Startin’ off wit tha hook…; pretty interestin’, especially when tha “grind” part echos. You sound good and I like tha content in this one; nice and consistent! As far as Lil’ Yung on tha 2nd verse, pretty good collaboration. Since this iz a “money” song, it sounds a lil’ typical wit tha content but better when tha “½” and all dat trap shit iz applied. My Rating: 4.4
02. “Roll Up” Feat. Lil’ Yung >>> Almost didn’t sound like a Rap song in tha beginning beat at first. Tha hook has an aight-range for me when it comes ta likin’. I dunno about tha background vocals but tha quick shit bein’ spit in tha hook as well as tha topic iz on ‘n’ poppin’! Let’s pretend it’s tha ‘90s, here! You sound real good on this shit! Luvin’ tha “sticky” to tha fullest, here, lol! ROFL @ Lil’ Yung wit tha descriptive “weed” shit, lol. Didn’t realize it went that far as far as quality, lol. My Rating: 4.2
03. “Gettin’ Pussy” Produced by DJ B-Do here; wonder who he iz… >>> Pretty-short song… I like how it sounds wit tha beat soundin’ jammin’. LOL @ all this early-fuckin’ shit; I luv how people die without “pussy”, ROFL… Anotha good job you did here. My Rating: 4.1
04. “If I Die” >>> Sounds like what I can hear from anyone; typical topic. But, you sound like Lil’ Witness so it sounds pretty anticipatin’, here. Tha hook’s pretty nice, on some real shit. My Rating: 4.0
05. “Get Some Money” >>> Kinda on a boring level as far as tha topic, as always, but at least it has a real, Southern feel to tha vibe. I’m slowly feelin’ this in a way… My Rating: 4.1
06. “On My Own” >>> This ain’t too special for me; not really into this hook… Tha rappin’s good, as always… My Rating: 3.7
07. “How Foolish” Feat. Lil’ Yung >>> This iz worse. Tha otha one I started to feel once your tight rappin’ came but—neva mind, I like tha content, now, lol. Sounds like Lil’ Yung’s startin’ it off this time and it’s soundin’ good/betta than his previous shit. You’re pretty good/not bad on this, too… My Rating: 3.5
08. “Load It, Cock It 2” Feat. G-1 LOL @ tha numbers… >>> Tha beat’s a lil’ slower but much more on tha gangsta tip, here; nice hook. You said, “blood,” as a noun; you have a “blood” background or somethin’? Either way, pretty good shit, here… Ooh, likin’ how G-1 sounds on tha 2nd verse. He sounds like a darker, black dude, lol—in a way where he sounds tougher than others. Definitely a plus ta have him on this shit. My Rating: 4.3
09. “A Promise” Feat. D-Matic Da Beast LOL, D-Matic came outta nowhere; I should know this… >>> Yea, sounds really familiar. Let’s see if I previously reviewed it… Oh, yea, and it was a long, good review (previously known it as “I Made A Promise To Myself”): Even though his name’s “Lil’ Black” [I was talkin’ ‘bout you], iz he white ‘cause he sounds like Lil’ Boosie (‘cause it reminds me of how A-Mar used ta sound)? Anyway, he might be black ‘cause he said, “nigga,” but yea, good sound so far on tha hook and tha beat!! I didn’t realize it was his song at first; Lil’ Black Da Gutta Baby!! Real nice collaboration right chea; I gotta add him [then again, I think he added me by now, lol]!! Y’all doin’ ya thang on tha hook right chea; real glad this sounds really original on tha beat, too, for tha South/undaground of Louisiana!! D-Matic’s on tha 2nd verse and he really “promisin’” dat he gon hold it down right chea to tha fullest! Glad he a real motivator to tha fullest right chea! He’s on tha 3rd verse and he “scorchin’ like a flamethrower!!” Speakin’ of “flamethrower,” Lil’ Black’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, here, wit dat fiya-ass shit!! Gotta luv how y’all work together on dis joint right chea!! My Current Rating: 4.5
10. “Can U Feel It” >>> Not really into tha beginning sample but it sounds good wit tha “damn, it feels good ta be a gangsta” shit randomly poppin’ off in tha hook. This iz 4.75 minutes long? Damn, a lil’ long from what I’ve been hearin’ on here? Good content, here, and not bad wit how tha song sounds, overall. My Rating: 4.0
½time: This iz a pretty-good-soundin’ CD, so far. You have a 4.1 for tha CD rating, currently!
11. “Bitch Boy” >>> I like how this sounds; nice attitude in tha hook when it comes ta describin’ tha title, lol! Good job holdin’ it down fa Louisiana, here; “(holdin’) it down” all day! Anotha long song but sounds betta since it’s soundin’ good fa me. My Rating: 4.3
12. “Gangsta” Feat. Low-Down Let’s hear dis collab… >>> Sounds pretty anticipatin’ in tha beginning… Really feelin’ how this starts off! This iz tha kinda shit I’d luv ta hear from you; really sounds great wit how you sound as well as tha content and production!! Tha hook’s pretty catchy, although a lil’ cliché wit tha “gangsta, gangsta” part, but pretty nice at tha same time. Low-Down on tha 2nd verse and it’s anotha nice job done! Iz this tha Low Down from tha Early 2000s wit dat “Houma Style” CD from 2001? My Rating: 4.4
13. “We Gon Hustle” Feat. E.S.G. Anotha DJ B-Do-produced joint, here. This was submitted to me and I believe I played it on tha radio. That night, I had gotten songs and forgot to play ‘em, but I think I remember playin’ this ‘cause I talked about E.S.G. on tha radio. Tha beat’s pretty smooth, here, and it sounds like a good collaboration. It sounds like tha hook gets addictive! Speakin’ of E.S.G., what I said about him on tha radio was that before my radio show, back in Fall 2003, I had first heard of E.S.G. on my radio station, lol! Someone else had a show (I think it was one or two white dudes) and they were playin’ undaground shit. I used ta be addicted ‘til I noticed dat tha show disappeared after 2003. Anyway, I’m glad I’m holdin’ it down, now! Good shit from him on tha 2nd verse; nice collab, once again! Y’all hustlin’ to tha fullest!! My Current Rating: 4.4
14. “So Much Time” Feat. Lil’ Yung >>> Not that crazy about this hook and beat… This iz aight fa me; nothin’ bad… Tha 2nd verse sounds betta; feelin’ tha contributed energy, at tha times. My Rating: 3.4
15. “Body Bag ‘Em” Feat. Lil’ Yung LOL, anotha Lil’ Yung collab? Must be a close friend? Looks like a real-good-lookin’ title! >>> This sounds interestin’ fa me; likin’ tha guttaness on tha hook, lol; that title iz tha shit! Real nice shit, here, ya dig? LOL @ tha 2nd verse wit tha “…must be fulla pillz;” random appearance, lol. My Rating: 4.3
16. “What It Do” Feat. Bub & S.Dot >>> Kinda on a different side although I’m likin’ how tha hook sounds this time. I dunno about tha lyrics, though; not too bad for an overall song. Oh, that must be you, now, on tha 2nd verse; no wonder why it sounds a lil’ betta, now… Not really inta tha 3rd verse; already started childish… My Rating: 3.6
17. “They Faking” >>> Uh no, a near-five-minute song about “fake” people; let’s hear dis… Okay, more on tha ‘90s vibe in tha beat. Tha hook’s interestin’; you know it’s betta ta make songs about “(people) faking” than dat “I’m real, I’m real, I’m real”-type bullshit! LOL @ tha 1st verse: anotha “pillz” reference; interestin’, lol… Good, interestin’ shit you got goin’ through tha whole song, keepin’ it consistent! My Rating: 4.2
18. “What U Workin’ Wit” >>> A shorter length here. LOL @ tha hook; sounds like catchy music… I really like tha beat chosen, here, and you got shit on lock, too. My Rating: 4.1
19. “Cumming” LOL, spelling counts in this, so iz this really about someone “cumming”? >>> Okay, I guess it iz, based off tha lyrics. I’m not too crazy about tha sound of this; would’ve been better if tha beat was much tighter and had some humor to it. My Rating: 3.7
20. “My Section” >>> Okay, a better beat, here. Glad you’re serious wit how you’re comin’ through on this. LOL, random person on tha hook? Must be tha same, sampled/used person from tha last song. Good shit; feelin’ tha street content, lol! LOL @ tha “low, low jeans;” character comin’ outta you, lol! My Rating: 4.2
21. “Buckin’ 2 The Ceiling” >>> I dunno why but this sounds a lil’ familiar. Not sure, but it sounds pretty catchy, lol. Funny how everyone needs ta have a song like this, too, lol. My Rating: 4.2
Overall: Sounds like a good CD; you’re pretty consistent wit it! Let’s see how you do on tha next review I finna do for you.

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0

you sound like anything too mainstream for me or have auto-tune in your vocals,
I’m not buyin’ it!
01. “Prison Bars” I have a feelin’ a jacked beat gon come outta this one for tha start… I see there’s a mix between original and jacked beats on this mixtape so let’s see how good you do, big dawg!! >>> HOT shit for tha 1st 18 seconds here wit no beat so far!! You sound REAL GUTTA already “spittin’ bars behind tha prison bars!!” As hot as this iz, it’s still soundin’ hot wit tha “She Got It” beat here! Fiya rhymes right chea, ya dig!! Feelin’ tha attitude @ 1:33 also!! You’re kickin’ ass right chea!! My Rating: 4.3
02. “Life Is Hectic” Feat. Lil’ Witness REALLY lookin’ forward ta dis one!!! >>> Let’s see how HIGH this gets rated from me; REALLY feelin’ tha beat start here; I like how it mixed from tha last few seconds of tha last joint!! It sounds like tha 1st verse iz from Lil’ Witness? Not really fast here so it must be you… It’s soundin’ GR8 wit tha rhymes though!! DEFINITELY RAW-ASS shit wit dis beat!!! Tha hook’s pretty raw; dat title DEFINITELY applies ta tha raw shit comin’ outta dis song right chea!! Let’s see what tha 2nd verse iz… Okay, dat was you tha whole time in tha 1st verse; didn’t recognize tha voice from tha 1st joint. Dis iz DEFINITELY Lil’ Witness right chea on tha 2nd verse wit tha craziness again; need I say more? Tha shit REAL, REAL CRAZY @ 2:23 – 2:31!!! There’s ALWAYS a MAJOR plus when it comes to a Lil’ Witness verse at ALL times!! You’re on tha 3rd verse right chea and some pretty gutta rhymes right chea!! Glad you addin’ real-type shit to this shit right chea too! Tha remainder of tha verse’s DEFINITELY holdin’ it down too!!! My Rating: 4.9
03. I Love Pussy (Skit) LOL, five seconds… >>> LOL @ how they sounded on tha sample! My Rating: N/A
04. “Bone” Will this continue from tha skit? >>> Sounds like it based off tha content; “buryin’ your bone,” lol! Tha beginning’s aight so far but iz also catchy. LOL @ tha 1st verse wit tha “Bam Bam” from Flintstones, lol! Cool rhymes and this iz becomin’ a good joint; nice jam right chea. Ooh, you comin’ through on tha 2nd verse right chea wit consistent rhymes!! You DEFINITELY brought attention wit tha 2nd verse here!! My Rating: 4.1
05. “I Know” “I don’t know” what ta expect… >>> Well, I wrote tha preview before I heard tha last nine seconds of tha last song so I didn’t hear tha beat at first. Well, not really anticipatin’ dis wit this bein’ tha “Shawty” beat; not a good look. But, let’s see what you got… Sounds like an aight 1st verse… You have some good rappin’ here but overall, it’s only okay for me. Sounds like you’re an on-tha-verge star on tha 2nd verse here… Sounds good wit your prediction of how you gon be in tha future! My Rating: 3.5
06. “Freestyle” Let’s hear what you got this time… >>> Sounds almost like Busta Rhymes at first, lol… There’s no beat here and you doin’ a good job here wit tha “freestylin’!” My Rating: 3.7
07. “Already Know That” After hearin’ tha “laugh” (Kane) sound effect in tha beginning of this beat when it started at tha end of tha last joint, I thought it was gonna be tha “In The Hood” joint but it sounds like somethin’ else; lemme hear… >>> Yea, I don’t think I know dis beat but it’s not bad fa dis. Tha hook sounds catchy here and now, you have a Rick Ross vs. Fat Joe sound here in tha 1st verse, lol. Cool shit you rappin’ in tha 1st verse and once again, this hook’s pretty catchy. Soundin’ nice and Southern here on tha 2nd verse; thumbs up ta you holdin’ it down for tha streetz! You even spittin’ good shit on tha 3rd verse too; glad you “garglin’ on tha beat,” lol! My Rating: 3.8
08. War Face (Skit) Nice title for a skit, lol! >>> ROFL @ this; ROFL!! “War face” to tha fullest!!! My Rating: N/A
09. “Crack Speaker” Cool title here; rip it up!! >>> Cool beat here too! It sounds familiar; I dunno if I can detect it or not but you sound like you holdin’ it down! I like tha topic here; good title! You DEFINITELY are “tha track eater” and you quality for tha “pussy eater” too, lol! I guess you have a plus now dat you have a “cum eater” now, lol! I didn’t even realize dis was just a whole verse; good shit! My Rating: 4.3
10. “Crazy World” I don’t think this’ll trick me; I know what beat this’ll be! >>> Yea, this iz Young Jeezy’s beat. Glad you gave a shout out ta “Jimmy;” y’all puttin’ in dat work! Nice job wit tha 1st verse; you holdin’ it down wit these rhymes right chea! LOL @ tha Young Jeezy hook… DatPiff prolly would’ve taken it out but I dunno why this time, lol… Pretty strong here for tha 2nd verse though; you’re DEFINITELY a soul surviver, ya dig, lol! My Rating: 4.0
11. “What Up” I dunno what this title’ll bring so let’s see what you got fa it… >>> Oh, anotha song DatPiff prolly would’ve removed. Actually, one time, they removed it when I tried ta review someone else’s CD, lol! It’s tha T.I. beat; let’s see what you’ll spit wit this joint, which iz only 1:59 on tha length… Feelin’ how you comin’ through wit tha gutta flow, voice and rhymes right chea on tha 1st verse!! Your voice has a lil’ bit of a Yung Yola feel to it here; good shit! My Rating: 4.2
½time: I’m feelin’ this shit to tha fullest; you KNOW it goes hard!! I REALLY enjoy tha original tracks and I HOPE more are comin’ soon!! Tha average CD rating currently iz at 4.1; good shit!!
12. “Belly Of The Beast” Heard tha J.R. Writer “Get ‘Em” beat start from tha last song and I must say dat these ’07 beats need to just R.I.P.; fuckin’ HATED those times and I’m GLAD THEY’RE GONE!!! >>> Anyway, regardless, you sound gr8 wit your rappin’ here! You’re really gutta wit it ‘cause you’re a big dude on tha mic; str8 rippin’ these beatz!! People DEFINITELY “fiendin’ for tha crack tracks” you cookin’, ya dig!! LOL @ tha “ooh, he poppin’” part; crazy, consistent rhymes!! My Rating: 4.4
13. “Treat Me” (Young Feat. D-Matic Da Beast) It’s ironic wit these “beasts.” My boy J Fletcha iz J Fletcha Da Beast and you’re D-Matic Da Beast. Both of y’all ALSO have a “Belly Of The Beast” CD, lol! Well, accordin’ to tha mp3 info here, it says it’s Young’s song featurin’ you so let’s see what this iz all about… >>> A lil’ ehh for a start but it picks up on tha 1st verse here; good shit from Young! He sounds like he’s got an addiction for tha ladies or somethin’ here in tha 1st verse. I’m likin’ tha beat all of a sudden; glad it sounds betta than tha hook! Here you are on tha 2nd verse here, comin’ through wit your guttaness!! I like your attitude wit dis Rap shit to tha fullest! Tha bigger tha rapper, tha bigger tha attitude, usually… and tougher! My Rating: 4.1
14. “From Da Bottom” Feat. Zoe When I see a feature, I think of an original beat; I hope it iz! >>> Sounds like it so far and sounds nice and upbeat! Zoe’s a dude I only heard once, a long time ago wit Nu$$ie on a “Snitch” song. Tha 1st verse sounds good wit you on it; glad you comin’ through wit your gr8 shit, ya dig! When I heard tha hook, I thought it was tha “Bottom Of The Map” joint from tha “Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 4,” but this iz different! Zoe’s on tha 2nd verse here and tha shit’s official; cool voice! Gotta feel how he’s comin’ wit “his ink and his pen!” Good shit… Street shit to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3
15. Connection (Skit) That’s what I have… a REALLY GR8 Louisiana “connection!” >>> Short, five second skit but it sounds good! My Rating: N/A
16. “Loose Booty” Looks like a title I’ve seen before but I heard a Mouse tag so let’s see what we got here… >>> This sounds very similar to tha J Buc Feat. Big Classic “Loose Booty” joint (which J Buc produced) wit tha way you deliverin’ tha hook. I wonder if they exactly tha same beat… Anyway, tha 1st verse iz aight here but it sounds a lil’ weird wit tha hidden A-Tune… Tha 2nd hook sounds a lil’ A-Tune’d too… I dunno what’s goin’ on here… You’re on tha 2nd verse and it sounds aight but I feel distracted by tha hidden A-Tune… Yucky ending? My Rating: 3.1
17. “Favorite” Feat. Focussed Let’s see how “focussed” (wit two “s”s) this featured artist iz wit chu!! >>> Tha beat sounds hot here; whoa @ 5:28 on tha length!! “Beat it up like Rocky / Leave tha beat all sloppy;” whoa!! From :40 on, it sounds pretty GUTTA wit your uplifted attitude ta dis joint right chea!! “I’m in my own class so a nigga ain’t losin’;” good line right there and how you delivered! “WTF iz wrong wit y’all? What are y’all chewin’?” Shit’s crazy right there!! Wow, you’re STILL goin’ @ 1:53 here; keep this HOT shit goin’ on here and it sounds like tha Focussed dude’s up next… I really felt scared ‘cause it sounded like he had gay-ass A-Tune in tha background but now, dat he’s rappin’, it sounds betta. You sound a lil’ betta than him, D, but it’s good ta collab! This iz gettin’ kinda long now…; switch to someone else… LOL @ tha “your career disappear like Cam’ron;” dat was pretty raw and outta nowhere! Well, I’m glad you’re back at 3:55; gutta-ass shit right chea!! DEFINITELY HOT wit tha drug-type shit and LOL @ “watch me drop my penis on tha tracks” or somethin’ like dat; pretty raw once again!! I like how you sayin’ tha last words of each line wit tha “Usher / grocer” shit! My Rating: 4.4
18. “I’mma Do Me” I know what beat this’ll be… >>> Exactly what I thought it was; how will you do? You prolly could’ve just freestyled on dis; kinda similar to tha original song wit tha hook but you sound good on dis too. Pretty raw wit tha rhymes here on tha 1st verse; gutta shit! REAL HOT “belly fla-a-opped him” part!!! My Rating: 4.3
19. Ain’t Shit (Skit) LOL… I have a feelin’ dis gon be funny! >>> I always ROFL @ tha short-ass length!! Tha attitude and how they sound’s just too funny!! My Rating: N/A
20. “Listen To This Track Bitch” What could I be “listenin’” to? >>> Oh, I rememba dat producer wit tha “listen to tha track” intro; lol @ namin’ this joint dat. Tha beat sounds pretty hot, regardless of what it really iz. You’re pretty raw on this beat; you doin’ ya thang as a sexstar, lol! You’re very consistent here… Just too much comin’ from you fa anyone ta handle, lol! So much shit here, lol!! Glad you gave a shout out ta “Jimmy” in a BIG way at tha end!! My Rating: 4.2
21. “I Made A Promise To Myself” (Lil’ Black Da Gutta Baby Feat. D-Matic Da Beast) Glad ta see new rappers on tha tracks! I wonder what this’ll sound like though… >>> Even though his name’s “Lil’ Black,” iz he white ‘cause he sounds like Lil’ Boosie (‘cause it reminds me of how A-Mar used ta sound)? Anyway, he might be black ‘cause he said, “nigga,” but yea, good sound so far on tha hook and tha beat!! I didn’t realize it was his song at first; Lil’ Black Da Gutta Baby!! REAL NICE collaboration right chea; I gotta add him on MySpace!! Y’all doin’ ya thang on tha hook right chea; REAL GLAD this sounds really original on tha beat too for tha South/undaground of Louisiana!! You’re on tha 2nd verse and you REALLY “promisin’” dat you gon hold it down right chea to tha fullest! Glad you a REAL motivator to tha fullest right chea! You’re on tha 3rd verse and you “scorchin’ like a flamethrower!!” Speakin’ of “flamethrower,” Lil’ Black’s on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse here wit dat fiya-ass shit!! Gotta luv how y’all work together on dis joint right chea!! My Rating: 4.5
22. “3 Steps Back” Tha final joint right chea… What’ll it be like? >>> Sounds like a jacked beat here and a lil’ different wit tha soundin’… It’s an okay song so far and you’re good on tha 1st verse here… I like tha hook and your motivated attitude to tha fullest! You sound good on tha 2nd verse here, really “holdin’ err-body down” to tha fullest! I like how you sounded also before tha 2nd verse ended; just STR8 gutta wit it! Tha 3rd verse’s good fa this endin’ song right chea too… My Rating: 3.9
23. “Livin’ In Sin” (A-Mar & Dyl) LOL, a random bonus song here… I thought you was gonna be on it but it’s just A-Mar & Dyl. Well, it’s not in tha folder but I had reviewed it in tha past so I can paste this right chea: It might be [a jacked beat] but I’m not sure. Yea, on tha lyrical side, but on tha gutta/hood side, so it ain’t borin’! Glad A-Mar’s “gettin’ high and stayin’ focused” on tha 1st verse here! It’s gr8 ta hear him spit dat he “scared of tha answer” when it comes ta when he’s goin’ ta Heaven. I hope it ain’t soon ‘cause there’s NO REASON why any of y’all should die soon!! Here comes Dyl on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through as a gangsta here, tryna survive! REALLY enjoyin’ tha hood lyrics here! Was that tha hook (‘cause I heard tha title)? Either way, Dyl iz on tha 2nd verse, STILL comin’ through wit dat gangsta shit here! 100% hood lyrics here and they DON’T stop!! I know Dyl said “pour dis liquor…R.I.P.” or w/e it was. My question iz: How come people pour out liquor for dead people? I don’t undastand dat one. Nice job on tha hook wit tha street shit, includin’ tha quick, fade-out ending of tha last nine seconds! My Current Rating: 4.4
Overall: I think you put together a pretty good CD right chea! I look forward ta hearin’ more original beats; you DEFINITELY sounded GR8 on dat joint wit Lil’ Witness and tha one wit Lil’ Black! Keep doin’ ya thang, big dawg! Thumbs up ta tha Gangsta Gumbo connection!!

Good purpose, though, to influence tha hook. I like tha “I’mma smoke weed” part in tha hook; good, somewhat-addictive shit. Tha both of y’all are doin’ a nice job, here; good collaboration, “studio” environment and err-thang! My Rating: 
I thought I had some not-so-tight starting feedback, but it seemed to pick up… My Rating: 
My Rating: 
Anyway, I’m glad I’m holdin’ it down, now! Good shit from him on tha 2nd verse; nice collab, once again! Y’all hustlin’ to tha fullest!! My Current Rating:
