It’s
here!! DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 9 review, by FrankieThaLuckyDog! M.O.B.
Entertainment in tha buildin’, you bastards!! Finna get inta dis! Got work
later tonight, so I gon get fulla dat shmoke fa dis review & then, them
edibles ta make it through tha rest of tha night; gotta keep goin’! Can’t wait
ta see what a high Hottest In The City
review gon be like…! A commercial series promotin’ this edition of Hottest In The City may be on tha way;
we’ll see how this goes…! Also, like tha cover says, this a dedication ta Mofo
Shots (R.I.P.); can’t believe he passed. Photog-Editors like him & I do so
much fa tha Louisiana
scene; gotta keep strivin’ & grindin’! Start
Time: 6:00 PM | End Time: 7:33 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!

reviewed on 3.11.2020 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Mofo “Hollywood Emotions”
I’ll
admit: I can’t even think of tha last time I did a Louisiana review, where I didn’t type out
tha whole tracklist, 1st. That’s tha way my reviewz should be,
though it’s been years (prolly since, like, three years ago, with Da Real Gee
Money’s G-Code)…! Now, let’s have
some of that excitement back, as I prepare for tha BIG day, tha day
after Spring starts!! >>> Sounds like a nice lil’ dedication track…;
him, here, on tha rappin’? Prolly…? Just usin’ my imagination, I guess, for
now…? Originally, I wouldn’t think it would be my kinda track but I feel
somethin’ special about it? I guess it’s tha shmoked-high…? That soulful
singin’ & tha crazy/consistent-ass rappin’/southern vibe…!! My Rating: 4.7
EDIT: I finally looked &
found tha back cover, seein’ that it went from a not-identified artist to Mofo!
Nice!
02.
Mofo “Cookies”
Here
he go (officially or leadin’ up to?)…! >>> Not like tha previous song,
as my imagination was somewhere on Cloud 9 or somethin’, lol… Either way, this
dope wit tha voice, tripped-out feel & consistent rappin’ fa tha south, in
its own way from tha 1st song…! Glad he was a multi-media dude, like
myself (I self-coined “Multi-Media Master,” as one of my titles, due to
graduatin’ wit my Masters in Production, eight years ago)! My Rating: 4.6
03.
Fredo Bang “The Box (Freestyle)”
As
a nice way ta follow-up all his other
music, I look forward ta exactly
knowin’ how what his “Box” look like…! >>> Lol…! This iz so fucked up… (in such a great way); luv how he mimics tha
original, wit his own “Box” story! A Baton Rouge-felt Fredo! I believe he my
favorite, wit NLE Chop! However, for tha undaground, … “______” (that’s a
special/better choice)! My Rating: 4.8
04.
Nicole Monionno “Classy & Sassy”
What
she gon brang, here…? >>> Sounds good fa a female, on tha southern
tip. A lil’ bit of cheesy-soundin’ lyrics like “tic-tac-toe” & “eeny,
miney, moe.” Hearin’ tha 1st verse on this club-soundin’ vibe &
I’m feelin’ tha southern shit she brangin’ to tha table. Tha 2nd
verse pretty dope wit how she keeps this shit goin’… My Rating: 4.0
05.
Rocky Mountainz feat. VanDaMan “Damage”
I
have a feelin’ they gon brang heat—9x
heat? Even tho, this #05—ohhh, “9 – 5;” get it, lol?
>>> Feelin’ what they brangin’ wit this heat, mane…! Somethin’ ‘bout
how they comin’ wit it, as I knew they would…! Tha hook official wit this
“Damage” shit! Feelin’ tha “Damage” they brang to tha city, ya dig? Sounds
almost like emo trappin’, on tha 2nd verse. Feels like an excellent
way ta describe what this year’s great
vibes gon be like…! My Rating: 4.8
06.
International Joe feat. Dylan Cage, BBE AJ & Lil’ One The Champ “Who You
Playin’ With”
Looks
like it gon be an interestin’ collab, here… >>> Oh yeah, definitely feelin’ tha club vibe—pure, pure club vibe, on a cool, mainstream vs. Baton Rouge way! Great job wit tha hook &
1st verse; I really feel Baton
Rouge approachin’ soon! Tha 2nd verse sound
pretty dope; struck by tha consistent rhymes, on this club shit! I feel how
Lil’ One comin’ through on tha 3rd verse; definitely consistent,
right here… I say that, in a true perspective, although on September 5, 2018,
when havin’ a chance to meet, I got referenced ta Y.B. For Initials as, “I
thought he [me] ain’t like me [Lil’ One]?” Weird but it’s all luv; that’s what
these reviewz are for, right? Betterness?! My
Rating: 4.7
07.
Whop Bezzy “Birdmane”
Here
goes some ape shit…!! >>> Definitely feelin’ tha true, Baton
Rouge-soundin’ beat/vibe, here! Glad he keep tha consistency comin’ along! Met
him three years ago, just as a pic in tha club. However, three years later
(now), it would be cool if we linked up, on some shit. Him “rollin’ off an Addy
& a Perc,” just luvin’ his streettastic life! I definitely feelz it…! My Rating: 4.8
08.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again “Bad Bad”
[Reviewin’
this after not realizin’ it wasn’t SoundCloud-eligible…] >>> At least
for YoungBoy, it has a Baton Rouge
feel to it. Tha hook 50/50; he sound cool, tho a lil’ drowned in tha shitty
auto-tune… Feelin’ tha energy he brangin’ to tha 1st verse; a lil’
random wit how he spit but it str8… Tha short lil’ 2nd verse aight;
nothin’ ta really brag about, as this continues… My Rating: 3.6
09.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again “Lil’ Top”
[Reviewin’
this after not realizin’ it wasn’t SoundCloud-eligible…] >>> Anotha
okay/good production, tho drowned in tha auto-tune & mumblin’, on tha hook,
smh… Tha 1st verse ehh; just sounds like random rappin’, mixed wit
some good lyrics? Then again, he fa err-body else fa support; I’m sure he don’t
need me… Tha 2nd verse sound cool ta hear, wit what he bringin’; not
impressive fa me, tho it str8 ta hear… My
Rating: 3.4
10.
Whop Bezzy “Booted Up”
Mo from tha Bezz! >>> Sounds like some mo consistent shit he brangin’;
this str8/dat heat… Liked tha otha track betta but this still str8/consistent… My Rating: 4.2
11.
Playboy XO “Booted Up”
Gotta be “Booted Up!”
>>> Wasn’t sure what ta thank about tha voice, here, but this pure
heat! Definitely feelin’ how hype he iz, between tha hook, tha verse & how
valuable he sound, lol! Definitely a
vibe; all “out [tha] drawls” & err-thang!! My Rating: 4.9
12.
A.u. feat. Bezo Luciano “2 Back”
Producer:
Hustla
Definitely tha gold heat, here,
thanx ta Hustla on tha track! Crazy! Three years ago, at this time, I was
gearin’ up fa my 1st Louisiana
trip, wit “2 AM” (Benjamin Racks & Kell), produced by Hustla, bein’ that
heat! Now, three years later, after hittin’ rock bottom, this huge feelin’ comes right “back,” wit this one! Yeah, “shout out Tha Antidote DJs;”
gotta keep reppin’ hard! Wit that bein’ said, definitely luv how this iz pure into tha Baton Rouge scene, no matter tha day or time!
Glad A.u. all fulla bein’ loaded, non-stop/all day, err-day! Definitely pure,
includin’ how it’s all about throwin’
“2 Back,” “2-Back,” ya dig (get what I said in that sentence, there? Tha “2
Back” (no dash) means “2” as an amount, while tha “2-Back” (with dash) means
“2” as “T-O,” lol. “#Loadedness!” Could that be a future title of mine, lol?
Just made it up, thanx to that “2 Back”/“2-Back”ness, lol! Wit Bezo, definitely
dope wit how he come through, all “loaded” (“I’m loaded”)! Got tha commercial
series out now, till tha 31st! Still got 20 episodes left!! I will
be in multiple states, within these next 20!! Yeah, Bezo wants, “$1,500 fa a
show,” so he can, “Show [his] ass;”
so focused on dat bag…! Hope he embrace tha way tha budget rose! “Mr. Cut Up
Bad!” My Current Rating: 5.0
13.
SB feat. OG Supa & Mofo “Soulja Rag”
Ooh,
anotha Mofo appearance, as well as all these peeps comin’ thru…! >>>
Feelin’ this beat a whole lot;
definitely focused on a mission! Tha 1st verse’s pretty dope;
definitely feelin’ what’s bein’ brought to tha table, here! Definitely sounds
like some throwback-type Louisiana
shit, like, tha early ‘00s! Definitely luvin’ how they comin’ through wit it!
Tha 2nd verse pretty dope; definitely feelin’ tha consistent
rhymin’, all thru da south! Good shit from all y’all, consistent to tha
fullest, here! Gotta luv dat south…!! My
Rating: 4.9
14.
HBL feat. Hot Boy Turk “Like ‘Em Hot”
Let’s
keep it “hot!!” >>> Yeah, this pretty “hot” with tha typical bounce
sample, as well as how HBL does tha damn thang, on tha 1st verse.
Feelin’ this full-on bounce/Louisiana vibe, to tha fullest! Tha hook pretty
dope; definitely feelin’ how amped up & energetic it iz, of course…! Tha 2nd
verse pretty dope from HBL, as well; so
in tha zone, it seems like…? Definitely nice! Turk providin’ “hot” shit
throughout tha rest of this, as well; thought HBL owned tha track, tho! My Rating: 4.7
½time: Talk about dat “heat,” to
tha fullest!! A 4.6-rated
review! I gotta pick up tha pace, since it 6:55 PM & I gotta get ta work by
8:30 PM! With that bein’ said, “no cap!” You see it!
15.
Giovelli “All A Dat”
Lol
@ tha “A” for “Of”, here. Lookin’ like an “All-A-Dat”
(dashes)? >>> Kinda sounds like white rap/emo trap-like shit fa Louisiana? A good hook,
as well as decent verses; nothin’ too-too crazy ‘bout. Not wack, tho with all
tha heat on this edition, this seems
to fall far behind it…! My Rating: 3.5
16.
Gunz Up Ent. “We Are BR”
Here they come! >>> Sounds like somethin’ hot; shout out ta all them!
Big Lucci, TK WNE! Hook dope wit that hidden/random sample, as well as that
bounce vibe! Luv tha deepness Lucc brings to tha 1st verse, here!
Tha hook’s pretty infectious; can’t get away from tha title! That’s how much it
sticks in yo veins!! Neva heard tha chick on
tha 2nd verse b4 but she sounds dope, fa this vibe; good
contribution, courtesy of tha Gunz Up click! Tha 3rd verse sounds dope;
shout out ta TK WNE…! All about that full
representation fa “BR!” My Rating: 4.6
17.
DB Kash “Turn Around”
Keepin’
it movin’… >>> Sounds pretty nice, fa tha clubz; can’t complain… Tha 1st
verse pretty nice; a 2 Chainz-like dude, with tha voice/flow? Sounds good fa
that kinda mirrored audio, lol… Tha 2nd verse ain’t bad, here; okay,
compared ta tha rest of these tracks… My
Rating: 3.8
18.
Deezy feat. Kocaine “Diddy Bop”
What
gon be next…? >>> Funny that I spelled his name like WNC Whop Bezzy, at first & then, corrected
myself. Then, he says in tha 1st verse, “Two Es & one Z,” lol;
instantly answered my thoughts, lol. With that bein’ said, Deezy comin’ through
wit nice shit, throughout tha 1st verse & hook; definitely nice!
Tha 2nd verse from
tha
Caine sounds str8; nice lil’ track, though might be behind many… My Rating: 4.1
19.
Bezo Luciano “Spinnin’ Like Taz”
Oh
boy…! >>> Holy fuck, how hype he iz…!! Just luv how he constantly “spinnin’,” on tha hook!! Tha
1st verse pretty dope wit how he in total G-mode, when it comes ta
this shit! Good, continuous, hyped-up shit on tha 2nd verse, here;
sounds nice, though I thought tha 1st verse was a lil’ catchier. My Rating: 4.8
20.
Yannie Badazz “I Don’t Wanna Make Luv”
[Reviewin’
this after not realizin’ it wasn’t SoundCloud-eligible…] I couldn’t find this
anywhere online… Might have ta review this in a few weeks; I may get a hard
copy from you, Tremon! My Rating: N/A
21.
Breezy Bre “Lil’ Secret”
What
will she brang, after all tha bouncin’ from tha last edition? >>> This
sounds like one of those tracks that may sound nice at your club, tho not
really fa me… A lil’ softie, like ice
cream, here, on tha hook? She sounds like a rappin’ Crystal Waters, on tha 1st
verse; cool/okay fa me… I feel like tha 2nd verse sounds like a
teaspoon of tha Crystal Waters voice, then drowned into “auto-tune corna!” My Rating: 2.8
22.
Mofo “Three”
Keepin’
it goin’ wit Mo shit, if you get my
capital “M!” >>> Sounds like a cool/decent lil’ laidback vibe… Hearin’
tha 1st verse & it sounds like an okay story. Flow/beat kinda
repetitive, with not much catchiness poppin’ up, here & there… As tha 2nd
minute approaches, it sounds like it’s gettin’ a lil’ catchier wit tha lyrics,
here… My Rating: 3.7
23.
Mofo “Dooky Chase Mini Peach”
A
cake, lol? >>> Sounds cool, in a laidback way. This one got str8-up
rhymes, though tha beat has better changin’ up than tha previous track. I’m not
really tha biggest on laidback-soundin’, semi-NY-soundin’ beats, tho this sound
cool wit how Mofo spit on it. I’m not dickridin’ ‘cause he no longer here; I’m
givin’ props fa his take on this… My
Rating: 4.3
24.
Lil’ Garrey feat. Yasi “Something To Talk About”
Wonder
how dis one gon go…? >>> More on tha R&B/slower vibe; guess this
edition’s nice & in a chronological/organized order? Like, as tha night
started, vs. it endin’? By tha end of tha night, this’ll seem like I’m all
stuck in its laidback zone (zoned out)! With that bein’ said, I’m not tha
biggest on a beat like this & tha 1st verse aight… I’m kinda diggin’
how tha 2nd verse soundin’, wit that voice; cool rhymes, as well…
Almost thought that was a mix of Lil’ One The Champ & Quick on tha 3rd
verse, lol; sounds okay, regardless… My
Rating: 3.0
25.
Kay Lashae “Resolution”
Keepin’
it movin’… >>> Sounds like an Alessia Cara or someone, in tha
beginning… Sounds like an interestin’, really-zoned-out R&B vibe, as if
your night’s endin’, lol; I can hear it! Though I somewhat-outgrew some of this
type of music, sometimes, one joint’ll come, here & there; this one of ‘em.
My Rating: 4.4
26.
Rocky Mountainz “OHHH”
”OHHH,” here comes tha Mountainz,
again! >>> Sounds good, on tha 1st verse; almost sounds
like a mainstream/jacked beat, here? That’s just a view I get off it, vs. tha
way tha beginning of this mixtape went. Got tha 2nd verse, here, couldn’t “even take a shit;” deep…, lol.
Rhymes cool; this was good/str8… My
Rating: 4.3
27.
Bald Head B feat. Jaye London
“My Plug Is A Negro”
Oh
boy…; I remember seein’ this title from somewhere, very recently… >>>
Sounds dope, fa a slower street/trap vibe…; very
catchy-soundin’ hook! Now, that’s a voice fa this “plug,” ya dig? Got tha
pure, southern heat, on tha 1st verse; definitely focused!!
Cool-focused, that iz! Tha 2nd verse sounds cool; I fux widdit, as
well…! My Rating: 4.5
28.
Mofo “Rain Man”
Endin’
wit… >>> I’m likin’ how he vibes off this soulful beat; sounds nice
wit what he has ta offer, in this high
of his…! Cool rhymes & shit; tha vibe of tha beat not really fa me. I
actually get a sad vibe off it, especially since he passed… I like how it fade
out ta tha end, as I see sound approachin’… “It’s M.O.B., you bastards!;” there
it iz! My Rating: 3.2
Overall: Pretty dope, here; tons of heat!! Great job wit how you put
this together, as well as err-body that contributed! Keep bringin’ tha heat!
Fiya…! Turn-up time approachin’; can’t wait!! Commercial-series time
approachin’, most likely; can’t wait!!
