R.I.P. Video #55: Zoe Realla

Recorded April 29, 2017

Broadcasting from tha West Mountain Sanitarium near Scranton, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community...

Lorenzo Dixon, better known by his stage name, Zoe Realla, was shot multiple times on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at around 2:30 PM at Yo Way Audio, located at 4149 Winbourne Ave. in Baton Rouge, LA. According to authorities, Dixon suffered multiple gunshot wounds while sitting in a vehicle at a parking lot, getting his car cleaned. He was later taken to a local hospital where he was fighting for his life. Sadly, on tha morning of Friday, April 28, 2017, Dixon succumbed to his injuries.

Dixon was featured on Baton Rouge DJ, DJ Wookee's Crook III compilation with tha song, "Goodnight (Intro)". In 2013, Dixon signed with Baton Rouge heavyweight, Travis James' Travis James Entertainment and would also release music on his own imprint, Kreature Lyfe Mentality.

Review #1,605: Zoe Realla "Fuck Yo Mixtape Vol. 1: Spare None (Hosted by DJ Smallz)"

Reviewed on 12.02.2016 (Review #1,605)

Comin’ through with hopefully, my final current review for a while. I gotta get those old CD reviewz done before it’s too late! Here comes Zoe Realla Fuck Yo Mixtape Vol. 1: Spare None (Hosted by DJ Smallz), released on Travis James Entertainment & Kreature Lyfe Mentality! Start Time: 4:52 PM | End Time: 5:46 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 and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “Intro”
>>> Great ta start it off wit “fulla dat weed,” but you said, “Ain’t smoke in two years?” Crazy! If it was me, I’d have edibles for tha moment! Mouse doin’ tha beat, here, and you soundin’ nice on tha verse, here… Great how you layin’ it down, here, includin’ how you have a Nu$$ie reference with, “If you ain’t sharin’, I ain’t carin’.” My Rating: 4.2

02. “Right Back” feat. Mouse On Tha Track
>>> Mouse doin’ tha track; sounds hot! Diggin’ tha siren on this! Mouse uncredited on this? Yeah, he on tha hook; dumb shit! Great job, guys! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice, here! Shit sounds nice wit how you layin’ it down, once again! You really got this undaground BR shit on lock! Diggin’ how you referenced O.T. Genasis with “Cut It”, lol… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty tight, too! You got this shit on lock! Gotta keep it goin’ and neva give up!! My Rating: 4.6

03. “Not A Friendly Sport”

Interesting? >>> Mouse your lead producer on this mixtape? Sounds great ta have him a 3^rd time on here! Tha hook’s pretty nice; ain’t think it was this slow… Still, definitely nice; good hook! Shit’s true about how people aren’t real! It’s crazy ‘cause you team up with some fake people, too, and I’ono how you don’t detect ‘em? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s good ta hear. It’s all about makin’ silence be deafening!! That’s why, I deactivated my Facebook & Instagram for now! I ain’t get my way! People ain’t treatin’ me as important! Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here; good shit… My Rating: 4.2

04. “One Time For The Money” feat. Snootie Wild, Maine Musik & Mouse On Tha Track

Smh @ tha outdated feature! I remembered when that cat (Snootie) followed me on Twitter, to only find out that when I gave them my #, some random dude called me, instead! Dude wouldn’t even give me a T-shirt and was trippin’, smh!! >>> Mouse doin’ tha track, again. I’ono about this “money” shit; let’s see… I’m diggin’ how this beat’s a lil’ hypnotizin’, as well as calm… You doin’ a nice job on tha 1^st verse; can’t complain. As far as tha hook, I think its content’s bullshit. However, with it bein’ Mouse spittin’ it, it don’t sound wack; it sounds catchy… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s nice with this fast rappin’… Sounds like Mouse on tha 3^rd verse, here; catchiness… Surprised I like a “money” track so much—well, “so much” means at least a 4.0! Ain’t recognize where Snootie was on here, luckily. Everythang flowed nicely and I ain’t have ta puke or whateva! My Rating: 4.3

05. “Past Tense” feat. King Drizzle & J Trax

>>> I’ono about this one that much… Kinda sounds like mainstream bullshit like somethin’ Future or one of these new cats would rap on? Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it ain’t bad; just decent, here, with not much to complain about… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s not bad… Overall, this ain’t too bad ta flow through on this mixtape, right chea… My Rating: 3.8

06. “Another Mode”
A shorter title but I recognize this… My Current Rating: 4.4

07. “Buku” feat. Dirty Harry & Lil’ One The Champ

Lol! Dirty Harry! Flashback Friday! I remembered tha day when I first heard of him—Valentine’s Day, 2010, on Savage & Young Ready’s Self-Made Bosses CD!! >>> Kinda sounds like it’s tha sequel to tha Snootie Wild collab wit this “money” shit, at times… Tha hook’s pretty nice wit you holdin’ it down, here! I luv when you be sayin’ titles, at times! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like Dirty Harry—tha comeback? Too bad tha ID fucked me up; they’re reversed! Still, definitely nice ta hear him! Wonder what he doin’ now-a-dayz? Definitely nice ta hear him, once again! You on tha 2^nd verse, spittin’ dat king shit! Defintiely deserve “buku” everythang!! And, Lil’ One on tha 3^rd verse. Smh @ err-body fa dickridin’ him by puttin’ him before Dirty Harry on tha ID! Just anotha way ta surprise me? Still, a nice verse and contribution, here… My Rating: 4.4

08. “Fall Back” feat. Mouse On Tha Track

! >>> I knew when tha “Dat Me” was gon appear, lol! Sounds nice fa a start, here, wit you on tha 1^st verse and this Mouse production! I’m glad your “mouth lookin’ like Paul Wall” wit tha shiny teeth! I can’t wait fa that ta be me, but where would I begin? Tha hook’s soundin’ nice from Mouse! Gotta luv how he delivers it and makes y’all “fall back!” Speakin’ of tha title, I feel like that’s me, right now, as I’ve been annoying to people. It’s like, when will I be considered important to people? Anyway, here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, stayin’ focused! My Rating: 4.5

09. “Prayin’ 4 Me” feat. Corey B

>>> Beat sounds nice, here, fa a lil’ darker one… You sound good on tha 1^st verse, doin’ ya thang… Not sure how much I feel that dude on tha hook’s voice but it’s still nice… You on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through, doin’ you; nice… My Rating: 3.9

½time: Sounds pretty nice, so far; a 4.3-rated CD! Keep it up!

10. “Thug Love” feat. Vante

>>> This ain’t too bad with tha singin’ in tha beginning wit Mouse doin’ tha beat… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice wit how you bringin’ it… Tha 2^nd verse sounds nice wit what you bringin’ to tha table, here… Glad you poppin’ a “Watson”—well, “three of ‘em!” My Rating: 3.8

11. “Migo”
>>> Q-Red on tha beat! Sounds nice ta hear wit this hook… I swear, I kept writin’ “Migos” when tryna type tha title, lol… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds good ta hear… And yeah, “Blame it on my migo [B-Real] for boostin’ up my ego!” I agree wit dat one! Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here, as you’re holdin’ it down fa tha streetz… My Rating: 4.0

12. “Penitentiary EP”

This again???? I can see repeatin’ a song but why an eight-minute one? My Current Rating: 3.5

13. “Used To Be” feat. Yani
Why tha worst songs from tha last CD repeatin’? My Current Rating: 3.1

14. “Sherwood”

>>> Mouse doin’ tha beat! Sounds nice ta hear wit this siren and what you got goin’ on during tha hook! Hook’s an excellent representation of tha Rouge hood! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice! You got this G-shit on lock! Tha 2^nd verse’s pretty catchy! Luvin’ all tha “ya dig” shit, “ya dig?!” My Rating: 4.4

15. “Ninja Turtle”
>>> Diggin’ tha throwback Mouse beat tag with tha Handy sample! This shit’s pretty mint! Get it? Mint! Green! All about dat “shit [you] smokin’!” Even mentioned “tha munchies;” nice! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice! Good shit you got goin’ on! Oh, so tha intro was not tha hook? Hearin’ tha actual hook and it’s pretty nice! Gotta shmoke anythang!! Hook’s definitely A+!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice how you keep this shit on-n-poppin’! Definitely some of dat good shit ta shmoke to! Tha 3^rd verse’s pretty nice, too; good shit! “Eyes low wit tha munchies;” luv how you said that, lol! Now, that’s a mumble rap!!! My Rating: 4.7

16. “Full Of Myself”
>>> Q-Red—Q-Red!! Pretty energetic!! Definitely diggin’ tha “smoke” shit on tha hook, here! We definitely gotta light it up in tha future!! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and you really focused, here! “Let a nigga get out his character;” fuckin’ right!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty serious, too! Just luv how you “full of” err-thang you be takin’! Edibles = infinity highs!! My Rating: 4.7

17. “She Getting On My Nerves”
>>> “Fine Vine” on tha beat? Somethin’ tells me I heard weird… Anyway, I have a feelin’ this gon be kinda mainstream-y and boring with tha production… Even tho this drama shit ain’t fa me, I have ta admit, you sound catchy on tha hook… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it ain’t bad. Too bad this production ain’t ringin’ bells fa me… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad, here; decent track, here… My Rating: 3.7

18. “My Dawg”
! >>> This sounds like classic Zoe on tha hook, here! Definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on tha hook, here! Beat’s pretty nice! It kinda sounds like tha shit all in tha mainstream but it’s still nice ta hear you on it! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice wit what you bringin’ wit these rhymes! “Cut from a different fabric;” fuckin’ right! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, here, especially wit how you like, “If it’s fuck ya” ‘cause it’s true! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: This scored a ½ point more than your Shit Just Got Realla CD; great job! Each CD had its own pluses. You just consistently keep it movin’ wit your greatness! Glad you puttin’ lots of music out there! Keep up tha great work wit who you hire for your production and features!

Next up, Bayou Boi Entertainment’s J Fletcha ST2 (Shit Talking 2) (Hosted by DJ Deaf). I’m wonderin’, why’s this CD 1:36:11 when only 80 minutes iz allowed on a CD? Guess it never sold any copies? Weird. Start Time: 12:27 PM | End Time: 1:17 PM

Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes 100,000x (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. “ST2 Intro”

>>> Sounds good; a good/somewhat-okay beat from Dot Com, here. Good rhymes, too, about your “shit talking.” My Rating: 3.9

02. “Word Play”

>>> Good rhymes and “word play;” this ain’t bad for a song, overall. My Rating: 3.7

03. “STFU (Shut The Fuck Up)”
>>> Sounds good wit tha title, but you prolly could add some screamin’ and more anger… My Rating: 3.8

04. “That Dirty” Feat. Grind & Goon
>>> This sounds good; likin’ tha collaboration and laidback beat! Tha hook sounds nice wit tha sample, too; everything’s workin’, here… Likin’ how Grind sounds on tha 2^nd verse; reminds me of tha excitement I had for Southern music when I was under 18! As far as your verse (3^rd), it sounds okay, but a lil’ fast for a laidback vibe? My Rating: 4.0

05. “Tired Of This Shit” Feat. Queen Hillary

>>> A lil’ too blah-blah-y for me… Ooh, Queen Hillary said my 2010 song title (“Sleepless Nights”)! Her verse iz a lil’ betta, but this ain’t all tha way up to par fa me… My Rating: 3.3

06. “Hallelujah”
>>> Catchy hook; a catchy song, overall, wit this title and beat! My Rating: 3.9

07. “Ray Wonder”
>>> Sounds a lil’ too 50 Cent-y…; not bad, overall… My Rating: 3.5

08. “Amazon” Feat. Lil’ Deezle

>>> Why are some of these songs long as fuck? This ain’t bad…; tha feature’s okay, too. My Rating: 3.4

09. “First Friday” Feat. Nadaboo

>>> Not likin’ tha jacked style on tha hook; you can be original, now! This aight, but nothin’ really stands out for me… My Rating: 2.8

10. “Antidote” Feat. Lucky Starr

>>> Still, nothin’ really poppin’ off fa me… This iz a lil’ catchy wit tha hook and title part… I’m not into tha feature, here; need somethin’ new and exciting, not tha same shit err-body on! My Rating: 3.6

11. “Airbourne”
>>> This aight; I like tha singin’—I hope it’s real and not jacked! My Rating: 3.5

12. “Ambitions Of A Rider Freestyle” Feat. Rock Dillion

Was ‘bout ta say, I’m completely turned off by this title ‘til I saw that it said, “Freestyle.” >>> See how tha rappin’ ain’t on a Rick Ross/Wayne/Drake flow, here? It’s a beat that makes you sound more normal than these bullshit rappers! Anyway, this iz slightly better than some of tha shit on here. Almost was likin’ tha feature, but their lyrics iz tha blah-blah-type shit from every typical rapper; ahh… Ain’t that disrespectful on a Pac beat? My Rating: 3.3

½time: A 3.6-rated CD, currently.

13. “Knowmsayin”
>>> Took a while for tha hook ta come on, but it sounds a lil’ catchy. Tha verses are ehh…, okay, ova this Dot Com beat. My Rating: 3.4

14. “Dapper” Feat. Ice Man

>>> Nice beat, here, wit tha baseball field-like theme… Lyrics are a lil’ typical, so they’re kinda boring ta me; sometimes, it’s aight… My Rating: 3.5

15. “Elevators” Feat. Ice Man & T-Tyrant

>>> Anotha jacked beat, based off tha title… Not only iz tha length too long, but I don’t think this iz a good way to remake this old OutKast song… Tha features don’t sound that bad; they’re a lil’ betta than you here, Fletch… My Rating: 3.1

16. “Ape Shit”
>>> Sounds good; nothin’ really ta knock, here, on this Big Josh beat. Oh wait, forgot about tha long-ass length, smh; why so long? Prolly could’ve had it 3:20 or somethin’… Well, it’s only 4:04 ‘cause tha rest iz silence; why keep tha silence? My Rating: 4.0

17. “Fly & Flawless” Feat. Dirty Harry & T-Tyrant

>>> Now, tha length’s a lil’ normal (2:55)… Sounds like a catchy song wit tha features; good job, Harry. A lil’ odd wit tha “too many bitches on my dick” part from T; not used ta hearin’ that talk sung… Not bad from you rappin’, too; not bad of a song, overall. My Rating: 3.9

18. “Dope”
>>> I’m not used ta you havin’ drug-related songs…; I think I oughta pass on this, especially since it’s a pointless 4:42 on tha length! My Rating: 2.7

19. “It’s Nothing” Feat. ChaYsuh
>>> A jacked, old Jeezy beat wit a feature? Kinda doesn’t make sense… Sounds really random wit what you’re rappin’, here… An okay feature from ChaY, even though these lyrics are really “nothing” for me. Still, I like how he mentioned “Lil’ Boxx” and his “Full Throttle.” My Rating: 2.6

20. “Onion Booty” Feat. Grind

>>> A Dot Com beat; will there some humor? Ehh, a lil’; this could sound funny if done tha right way, but I’ll just consider it regular…, yawn… I like Grind’s lil’ ad-libs thrown all ova tha place. My Rating: 4.1

21. “I’mma Do Moi” Feat. Nadaboo

>>> Nothing special. My Rating: 2.5

22. “Chitterlings”

>>> I like tha skit in tha beginning, randomly. This song has some good character in it; glad I’m finally hearin’ your character on here! My Rating: 3.9

23. “I’m A Giant” Feat. D.O.T.
>>> Sounds good; what else can I say? My Rating: 3.8

24. “Fell In Love”

>>> Dot Com beat; why do we need to keep hearin’ a beat tag on tha songs? What eva happened to tha dayz where tha artist said tha producer in tha intro (e.g., tha Big Josh production), or even betta: what happened to tracks bein’ a mystery? Like, can we be surprised? WTF, a 2^nd time? Fuck this gayness! A lil’ bit of a bounce vibe, although a lil’ boring for an ending song… My Rating: 3.6

Overall: This was only decent; I think you’re betta at makin’ albums…

Most songs/artists that are nominated are either on my YouTube, or my mixtape compilations on DatPiff.


Other awards are givin' out that either have to do with my Top 10 countdown or my own personal feeling about a song. These awards appear under tha "Other Awards" section. No matter how many are won in this section, they are each displayed on one single award.


Tha last set of categories that are within tha "Other Awards" deal with how I deal wit people on tha phone and personally. Tha awards are: Most Frequent Person I Talked To By Phone Of 2012 (measured by how many conversations on tha phone I had wit someone in tha year) and Best Person I Talked To By Phone Of 2012 (measured by how long each conversation I had wit someone added up to). All these phone awards are wit music-business people only. Tha final award in this section iz tha Best New Person Of 2012 award. It's a one-time award for anyone I met in 2012 (music business and non-music business) and iz very special. For example, this year, I've met tons of people within tha year. All tha people I met won't get this award except one special person so tha one special person defeats tha chances of all tha others, which iz very special!


Extra awards given out will be *CERTIFIED CLASSIC* awards for any song I played at least 100x, playlist awards for any song I played at least 16 weeks on my playlist, and any awards for if an artist broke a record wit me (e.g., longest phone call).
