Review #1,933: MobbGod "Induction Ceremony"

Reviewed on 6.03.2020 (Review #1,933)

Tryin’ ta clean up some files, here… In tha mist of this, I’m kinda backtrackin’ wit this one, since I just reviewed tha deluxe edition… MobbGod Induction Ceremony, tha original album, released last year, courtesy of Solo Mafia Enterprises… Despite havin’ some of tha deluxe edition’s tracks, I went & bought this ta have, as well (even tha duplicates), due to I gotta show Sav extra luv! Any song I already reviewed on tha deluxe edition, I just gon copy/paste tha review, itself, so it’s easier fa me… Start Time: 5:41 PM | End Time: 5:57 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!

Link To Release: https://music.apple.com/us/album/induction-ceremony/1477161942

01. “Induction Ceremony”

I like tha lil’ phone call/intro/skit in tha beginning. Then, you continue tha intro wit you lightin’ up; definitely nice fa a laidback vibe… I like how you wanna “step on ‘em” & shit like dat, as far as how you handle tha verse. Also, when you adlib, “Pussazz…;” good shit! With how you explain yourself in this song, I like how you show tha growth in your life; definitely nice! This what tha laidback tracks should be like; nothin’ else ta really say… My Current Rating: 4.4

02. “Where It’s At”

Likin’ how tha keys & intro sounds like it’s hittin’ hard, here…! Lol, I like how you sound on tha hook, here, as far as “tha bag” go! Good shit, here; I’m sure others make it sound boring (“tha bag,” that iz)! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds nice wit what you bringin’ to tha table; all about tha grown Sav! Got tha 2^nd verse comin’ through, here & it sounds nice; “all about my Curren$y, like Jet Life!” Gotta luv how you got tha “Curren$y” on lock, fa this anthem & how you define your hustle! Luv that you came to tha northeast on two back-ta-back weeks! That’ll prolly be me when I reach your age, in six years? My Current Rating: 4.4

03. “Still” feat. C-Loc

I’m diggin’ your smooth, southern-soundin’ Sav production, here. However, I’on really fuck wit tha auto-tuned hook, as well as this bein’ about “money.” It kinda answers that “boring” feedback I left about tha last song, where when others make songs about tha bag; tha previous song sounded betta wit how you sounded, overall. Either way, you sound okay on tha 1^st verse; it str8, I guess… I got wrapped up too much in leavin’ feedback on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from you, here & it sounds nice ta hear; I give you props wit what you spittin’… Lol, an uncredited C-Loc on tha 3^rd verse, here? Thought it was just you, all tha way round… Either way, Loc sounds good, as you can’t complain when tha Bigg Dawg hit tha mic…! I wouldn’t say this as low as I originally rated it, so I’ll give it a lil’ more of a boost… My Rating: 3.1

04. “My Time”

>>> Soulful beginning? Reminds me of DJ Clue, Mary J. Blige & Jadakiss wit their “Back 2 Life 2001” intro. However, I’m likin’ how it sounds like a betta-soundin’ beat, wit what you got goin’, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it str8; I digz what you got, here… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like anotha one of your anthems; cool… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it cool; yeah, gotta “block” ‘em, if they disrespect you… Got tha 3^rd verse goin’ on, here & it nice how you keepin’ this goin’; nice job… I ain’t really say too-too much but you get tha idea that I’m givin’ this a plus… My Rating: 3.9

½time: Seems betta than tha deluxe edition, so far? A 4.0-rated release, so far; keep it up!

05. “BBS (Big Boss Shit)”
>>> A good lil’ beat that str8… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit how you “work everyday;” that’s me, when it comes ta dis promotin’ shit…! Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I digz that you on yo “BBS!” Keepin’ tha 2^nd verse goin’, here & I agree wit tha P.A.N.z havin’ “9 lives;” sucks…! Either way, keep on reppin’ fa da “big” bosses! My Rating: 4.0

06. “Toot Dat”
>>> I like how you got a lil’ club banga, here; nice job wit yo mobbin’-azz! Tha 1^st verse sounds nice wit how you flowin’ & spittin’ on this club shit, here; definitely nice! “All eyez on her, like Tu-damn-pac;” lol, like how you spit dat line! Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds nice wit what you bringin’, once again; gotta keep it movin’! Likin’ tha lil’ outro, too, as you keep ‘em tootin’! My Rating: 4.2

07. “3 AM”

Sounds funny wit tha way you wanna “talk to [these bitches] about where you came [street life],” on this slow, sex-fuckin’ track, lol. Wouldn’t thank a slow vibe like dis would open a mouth up fa tha street life but, to each iz their own mobb, I guess? Lol… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds okay fa bein’ “in [ya] zone,” here… Good job settin’ tha slow tone, even tho it kinda blah fa me, especially wit your auto-tune… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it aight; wouldn’t’ve thought you’d rap about a “unicorn” & shit, tho… Nice lil’ hi-hat solo toward tha end, too… My Current Rating: 2.6

08. “Mobb X”

>>> Yeah, fuck tha “white man” that tries “ta cover it up;” they just pussazzes, as we know! Got tha verse goin’ on, here & it sounds good wit your “Doritos;” mobb shit, lol… Beat more on dat NY vs. southern vibe, here; not bad, tho I feel it more when you spit on it… I like how you used tha intro/speech sample as tha hook, mainly; keep on mobbin’! My Rating: 3.7

Overall: Good goin’, Sav; keep up tha great, mobbtastic work!

Rankings:

08. “3 AM” 2.6

Review #1,931: MobbGod "Induction Ceremony (Deluxe Edition)"

Reviewed on 5.31.2020 (Review #1,931)

Had ta take some time out my current, busy schedule ta get ta some reviewz… Copped two albums, recently & this tha 1^st one I’m reviewin’ for today: MobbGod Induction Ceremony (Deluxe Edition), courtesy of Solo Mafia Enterprises; that’s right! Savage a.k.a. Supa Sav b.k.a. Sav Rothstein f.k.a. Sav Sinatra p.k.a. King Sav n.k.a. MobbGod! Sav was tha 1^st artist to randomly travel to my area (New York or PA) & actually encounter me! Since January 8, 2009, when Nu$$ie was ‘pose to see me in New York, I’ve had about seven failed attempts at artists comin’ ta visit me. Now, with time & growth bein’ tha key, Sav & I were able ta link up! Good shit! With that bein’ said, here goes tha review! Start Time: 5:14 PM | End Time: 6:00 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.

01. “Induction Ceremony”

One that I randomly added, earlier this year, courtesy of your birthday, Sav… Wanted ta show you luv & now, I gotta show you bigger luv, since we got ta encounter each other, 10 dayz ago…!

As far as this song, I like tha lil’ phone call/intro/skit in tha beginning. Then, you continue tha intro wit you lightin’ up; definitely nice fa a laidback vibe… I like how you wanna “step on ‘em” & shit like dat, as far as how you handle tha verse. Also, when you adlib, “Pussazz…;” good shit! With how you explain yourself in this song, I like how you show tha growth in your life; definitely nice! This what tha laidback tracks should be like; nothin’ else ta really say… My Current Rating: 4.4

02. “Where It’s At”

>>> Likin’ how tha keys & intro sounds like it’s hittin’ hard, here…! Lol, I like how you sound on tha hook, here, as far as “tha bag” go! Good shit, here; I’m sure others make it sound boring (“tha bag,” that iz)! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds nice wit what you bringin’ to tha table; all about tha grown Sav! Got tha 2^nd verse comin’ through, here & it sounds nice; “all about my Curren$y, like Jet Life!” Gotta luv how you got tha “Curren$y” on lock, fa this anthem & how you define your hustle! Luv that you came to tha northeast on two back-ta-back weeks! That’ll prolly be me when I reach your age, in six years? My Rating: 4.4

03. “Still (Remix)” feat. O.U. Bird & C-Loc

>>> I’m diggin’ your smooth, southern-soundin’ Sav production, here. However, I’on really fuck wit tha auto-tuned hook, as well as this bein’ about “money.” It kinda answers that “boring” feedback I left about tha last song, where when others make songs about tha bag; tha previous song sounded betta wit how you sounded, overall. Either way, you sound okay on tha 1^st verse; it str8, I guess… I got wrapped up too much in leavin’ feedback on tha hook… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t C-Loc but Bird, here (ID error, order-wise; gotta flip it!); he good wit what he spittin’ fa you, here… He even mentioned “Corona;” you can tell this that new-new… Sounds good wit how he kept tha rest of this shit goin’… Keepin’ it movin’ wit Loc on tha 3^rd verse, here…; sounds good, as you can’t complain when tha Bigg Dawg hit tha mic…! My Rating: 2.4

04. “Big Freak” feat. Dreamm

>>> Lol, nice lil’ mainstream-soundin’ club banga, here? You sound either silly and/or like one of those dance-move rappers, on tha hook… Either way, I’m glad you always have this lifestyle in your Mobb life! Got tha 1^st verse goin’ on & it str8/mainstream-taste, here. Sounds like you got a ton of lyrics droppin’ on top of lyrics, here? I see ya… Got this Dreamm chick on tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ nice wit how she contributin’ to tha track, here. Kinda bored of all these female rappers, these dayz; guess I’ll just appreciate ‘em in tha undaground, fa now? My Rating: 4.2

05. “Prayer For The Streets”

>>> Could you imagine? “You hear tha way we rip tha [MobbGod] track to pieces?” Lol… Not sure what I can anticipate wit your voice effect in tha beginning, here… Got tha 1^st verse goin’ on, here & it sounds dedicated fa tha fam, here… Only “three kids,” durin’ this recording; crazy that tha 4^th one brought you up to PA! Yup, R.I.P. ta “Chill,” as well; good shit. Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; sounds good & not depressin’ fa this “prayer.” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I’m likin’ what you spittin’ fa tha world we be in, these dayz. They really will give you a “charge,” if you ain’t got a “charge!” It’s like, tha both of us got locked up, in tha past? Doesn’t even make fuckin’ sense! Glad you always on “dem grapes,” like you “on Mars,” too; gots to! I even out-did your high, that day! I was gone off 24 mg of edibles, plus what we was shmokin’! Then again, who knows, you prolly pre-gamed b4 we linked up, so maybe, we tied? My Rating: 3.6

06. “We Up” feat. Geechee The Don
>>> I like tha instant start, here, wit you on tha 1^st verse…; keep countin’ your “loose-leaf!” Beat sounds like it’s an okay, lyrical-soundin’ southern vibe? Good advice & what you bringin’, lyrically… Hearin’ tha hook and I’ono about tha voice effect witchu, here; not really diggin’ it, even tho you try, I notice… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Geechee & it aight; just sounds more like rappin’ than catchy-rappin’, as far as a tight track fa me… My Rating: 2.7

07. “Like You Say”
>>> Almost sounds like it’s a breed of tha song I just listened to, on here… However, this hook sounds more like a YoungBoy, mainstream-type vibe & not so auto-iffy, like tha previous joint… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse & it sounds okay wit what you bringin’ to tha table, here. Sounds like you more in a state of mind where you wanna make relaxin’-type music, these dayz? Even tho not my top picks, I still think we would make great autistic stoner rap together, when I finally get back ta recordin’… Keepin’ this thang movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse & yeah, you can “get pussy anywhere.” Like, you just had anotha kid on tha other side of tha country, lol! My Rating: 3.2

½time: I’m feelin’ 50/50 wit this release, Sav… A few laidback tracks that are decent fa me (tha title track’s more of a standout laidbacker than tha other ones that try to sound like urban hits), while just a touch of extra greatness, so far… You got a 3.6 for tha ½time rating; how will you continue ta do…?

08. “Do It (For The Mobb)”
>>> Sounds better, here; beat cool, tho a lil’ plain, at times (quiet organ)… I like how this a nice lil’ anthem “for tha Mobb,” here; nice way of hookin’ a hook in…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it sounds good wit how you keepin’ these partyin’ vibes goin’; keep it goin’…! Lol, likin’ tha drunk vibes goin’ on durin’ tha start to tha 2^nd verse, here; let these boyz know there’s no such thang as ‘old!’ Likin’ how you can hear tha organ clear, on tha nice outro… My Rating: 4.3

09. “In The Way”
>>> Thought it woulda been pretty nice wit tha beat start but then, you take that risk of tryna be 100% mainstream? Tha auto-tune/weird singin’ & tha “money” talk; ahh…! When you say tha title, that’s prolly tha only good part of tha hook; that’s it. Either way, at least tha 1^st verse has normal rappin’; this that shit I be diggin’, at least! Dat organic Sav! Tha 2^nd verse sounds good wit how you keepin’ this street shit goin’; guardin’ everythang, here…! Yeah, I know how 12 be! Like, “Just got out tha county;” it’s pathetic how 12 looks at us like we bad! My Rating: 3.0

10. “Player”
>>> Likin’ how this beat intro sounds like some old west vs. south music, from tha ‘90s… Hearin’ tha hook & this how you make a good hook sound, not like tha full auto-tuned ones! All about tha “fresh fit” & “where I got dem shoes;” fuckin’ right, Sav! I agree…

“Where I got my shoes,” they ask? Just think of a plug! That’s it, lol! Anywayz, got your normal voice on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit, here; good job wit how you keepin’ this shit goin’…! Keepin’ mo of dat good, mobbstyled lifestyle goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ good… Nice lil’ job wit makin’ this sound like one of those throwback jointz fa some1 ta embrace their style with… My Rating: 4.1

11. “3:00 AM”
>>> Sounds funny wit tha way you wanna “talk to [these bitches] about where you came [street life],” on this slow, sex-fuckin’ track, lol. Wouldn’t thank a slow vibe like dis would open a mouth up fa tha street life but, to each iz their own mobb, I guess? Lol… Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds okay fa bein’ “in [ya] zone,” here… Good job settin’ tha slow tone, even tho it kinda blah fa me, especially wit your auto-tune… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it aight; wouldn’t’ve thought you’d rap about a “unicorn” & shit, tho… Nice lil’ hi-hat solo toward tha end, too… My Rating: 2.6

12. “We Thank You”
>>> Thought this was gon just be an outro of shout outs but it’s a track… Hearin’ you spit these thank-yous & it sounds nice on tha 1^st verse; props, most definitely… I feel where you comin’ wit tha hook, as far as “We Thank You” (those that have fallen that have paved our wayz). However, anotha auto-tune approach & it sadly continues to, like, 2x a hook’s normal length. Hate ta have it cost you some of tha score but I gotta keep it 100% honest, here… My Rating: 2.8

13. “365” feat. Boosie Badazz & Geechee The Don

>>> Sounds like anotha one of your laidback tracks but no wack vocals, so far… Tha hook ain’t too bad; just sounds like a good singin’ vibe… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from you & it ain’t bad wit what you bringin’; I’ll give you tha thumbs up. Got Boosie on tha 2^nd verse & see, I always enjoy how he comes through, on tha mic. I luv how he alternates his flow & makes whateva he’s contributin’ to sound nice. Wit dat bein’ said, great job contributin’ ta dis, Boosie! Keepin’ it movin’ wit Geechee on tha 3^rd verse & he sounds good; I’m feelin’ what he bringin’… Kinda sounds like one of your close friends/music peeps? Almost a similar flow, while rappin’… My Rating: 3.8

14. “Slide” feat. Jiggy Da Menace & Tre Louis

>>> Oh boy, tha squeekin’, like Trillville & Cutty’s “Some Cut” beat from ’04… Hearin’ Jiggy on tha 1^st verse & he sounds nice wit what he bringin’, here; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook from you & it sounds nice wit how you layin’ this “slide in dat pussy” setting, here; I digz it more than most hooks, on this review… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse & you “Clifford,” a “dog,” here; dig it! Got Tre on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some okay rhymes; nothin’ really sparkin’ crazy wit ‘em. To me, it’s just an extra contribution that tha track needed? My Rating: 3.8

Overall: Not really that high of scores, due to certain ways I felt about tracks. A lil’ too many risks of usin’ tha auto-tune on tha hooks, this time round. I done heard you sound like Pimp; I done heard how you did tha “Slide” hook. Ta me, those two wayz you’ve sounded make you who you are. You don’t need auto-“doom” ta sound cool/acceptin’. With that bein’ said, don’t take this as hate, of course. I bought tha album; I gon always support ya. I thank you for all tha times you showed me luv & I always gon keep spreadin’ da luv, ya heard me? You gon get back on my playlist with anotha one of tha jointz on here, so that’s at least a win…

Review #1,796: King Sav "Mobb God"

Reviewed on 1.22.2019 (Review #1,796)

For this next review, I wanna give a special Happy Birthday shout out ta this good dude! Representin’ #80sBabiesInOur30s, here goes my review for King Sav Mobb God, released last year on Solo Mafia Enterprises! Happy Birthday, once again!! Had to show ya luv by buyin’ this off of iTunes so you get da bread…! Start Time: 8:11 PM | End Time: 9:03 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!

Tha hook sounds catchy; sounds like I can appreciate it more, in a way. I like how tha keys in tha beat sound on every 4^th bar; *dinn-dinn-dinn-dinn, dinn…* Hearin’ what you got goin’ on wit tha 2^nd verse and it sound good; not much ta say but props… Yeah, I’m diggin’ tha outro: “I ain’t miss a 1^st day of class…” It’s kinda like with work: Almost five years in and I neva called off, neva been late; you know how dat go!

Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t bad, once again; mo Sav rhymes for da Sav spines (I randomly came up wit dat: those “spines” that appreciate your music)… As far as tha featured chick, guess she’s just singin’ in tha background, quietly? Likin’ tha quiet feature, for a female… My Rating: 3.6

17. “Hard Times” feat. Keezy Off 38^th & G.L.O.
>>> Kinda sound like old music bein’ sampled, here… Not really my cup of tea wit this G.L.O. on tha hook; prolly coulda had it like tha last song, wit tha background secret… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Keezy and he sound good on this. Not tha kinda track I’d feel that much but Keezy gives it a motivatin’ boost, in a way… Here you come on tha 2^nd verse, here, “Tryna keep [your] record clean;” I feel dat! As soon as my shit happened, I remained calm and was like, “I have tha motivation, determination, perseverance & confidence!” Good lil’ verse; okay track, at times, but not my kinda hook. I know I’m dealin’ wit tha “Hard Times,” but best know that just ‘cause I’m dealin’ with it, don’t mean I like it! My Rating: 3.3

Overall: Most of tha tracks were a lil’ below tha loving 4.0 range, but for tha most part, you put out anotha quality-soundin’ CD. This tha more laidback, gotta-shmoke-everyday Sav, here. Thumbs up fa keepin’ it goin’ and don’t stop this music shit!

FTLD'z Louisiana Trip #04: 9.03.2018 - 9.05.2018

My 4th trip to Louisiana... Even tho I was pumped to finally get away since last October, I had to still keep my guard up. The last trip, I was raped, robbed in two different situations (totaling almost $3,000) & my life was threatened! Also, I went to go record a track & the artist was too lazy to go to tha studio. The completion of the track was a nightmare for the two months to come. My goal for this trip was to record a new track for my job. I thought it was a good idea to get Baton Rouge rapper, A1 Wissel, to get on tha track wit me. After previously turning down the offer, due to I wrote tha lyrics, it was Baton Rouge producer/rapper, DJ B-Real, that suggested that A1 would do tha song for me.

 

Day 1 in Louisiana: 9.03.2018: I left Pennsylvania for 6:00 AM and it was my debut in Michigan, as I stopped in tha Detroit airport. After I arrived at tha house I was stayin' at, in Baton Rouge, I first went to go see rapper, Beezy Bird. We went to tha projects to film an interview wit Beezy. After leaving Beezy, I went to go surprise rapper/producer, Doe-Doe, who's rapper, Boosie Badazz's cousin. Doe-Doe had no idea I was coming, since I couldn't get a hold of him. When I told him, "Check outside to see if your surprise arrived," he went outside, seen it was me and he was straight. I wish he would go back to bein' more fresh wit his style and not so camera-shy. Maybe, grow your dreads back, Doe-Doe? We went cruisin'..., literally! Due to tha pressure I was previously havin' at Dunkin' Donuts, I had texted Doe-Doe, "Please take me on a speedrun tha next time I touch down!" He went 140 mph, at 4:43 PM! That surpassed my previous record for fastest I was in tha car with someone, back on June 16, 2012. That's where I was with tha local news station to go see Mitt Romney; we went 92 mph, at 7:10 AM. After leaving Doe-Doe, I made a stop to YBB Studios, just to randomly film. While there, I met rapper, Boogieman, who stutters while he talks but has no problems with his rappin' flow.

As tha night had begun, B-Real had video-chatted with me on Instagram. Not too sure of what to expect, he was over-excited about gettin' a hold of me! That's a shocker! He wanted me to keep him posted on when I was hittin' tha studio up. As tha midnight hours were approaching, I had gotten a hold of producer/engineer, Guss Make My Beats, to where A1 & I were gonna book our studio session there. At 12:45 AM, I arrived, as I watched Guss produce a track. Shortly after 1:00 AM, A1 came through, feelin' great to see me! And, even more special: B-Real came through, too! Finally, at 1:11 AM, I met tha most-talented artist in Louisiana! Tha dude who has made me $108,610.23 richer by inspiring me to work! We began our session at 1:00 AM for my track, "P&R", a collaboration with A1 Wissel, produced by Frank Calhoune (myself). I gave A1 tha idea of how I was flowing on my track & we began to record our vocals. I did two takes; my 1st take, I got all but one line right. For my 2nd take, I decided to add to what I previously recorded. However, I didn't realize that we were overwriting tha 1st take. As A1 recorded his vocals, he had some trouble spittin' some lines. I even had to tell him he skipped over a few lines and we had to add tha missing lines. While playing, B-Real was jammin' out to it, singin' it, etc.; definitely nice! I even spotted him mimicking my production on Guss' keyboard; definitely an honor! An honor to have your idol play with your production! After my session ended at 3:00 AM, I went home for tha night.

Time Awake: 3:20 AM - 10:00 PM / 11:00 PM - 4:00 AM (23 3/4)

Hours Slept: 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM / 4:00 AM - 7:30 AM (01 + 03 1/2 = 04 1/2)

Day 2 in Louisiana: 9.04.2018: Originally wantin' to hang wit Doe-Doe, I stopped at tha Waffle House on College Dr., where I always eat breakfast & went from there. I got gas near Gardere ($2.36/gal.) & met up wit Beezy Bird. We went to one of tha apartments near Skysail & met up wit rapper, Lil' Mike. He did a lil' rappin' and we had producer, Big Kahuna Status, who was producin' for Beezy. I interviewed Beezy's cable guy & even his daughter said somethin' fast, on tha mic. While interviewing Beezy for tha 2nd time, this trip, he talked about his grandma passin'. Shockingly, as we wrapped up this interview around noon, I went outside to my rental car to see if Beezy was outside. He wasn't, so I went back inside but seen him coming out. He said, "Hurry up, Frankie! Get in tha car!!" Beezy began shaking, freakin' out! Tha news had broke that someone murdered his mom in Baker. As we were on our way to tha house, we were like tha ambulance! Hazards on, speedin' through traffic for 25 minutes! I remained calm (luckily, I was fulla dat shit and my anxiety was lowered) and had enough confidence in Beezy to realize, "It's gonna be okay!" Once Beezy dropped himself off at tha house, I took tha car & went back to where I was stayin' at. As I told my mom what I just witnessed, even more shocking, she broke tha news to me that three dayz prior, my 39-year-old cousin's husband committed suicide in Connecticut! Speechless, but I feel better about myself & how I've survived everything in my emotional life... After all tha news, I waited for my next event. I hung with Doe-Doe for a lil' and then, I proceed to find more people...

I then headed to where LNIC (Loyalty Naturally Instilled Corporation) recording artist, Percy Keith stays at. He only told me tha address; I didn't know it was a projects/complex area. I showed tha people that lived in this complex that Percy sent me tha address. They then told me which door he was in; I knocked & there was Percy! He had hurt his arm from workin' out but he was all tha way 100 with everything I talked to him about. I interviewed him & he showed me a part in an unreleased song he has, containing tha lyrics, "Frankie wrote me, like, once a month." To me, it's an honor for him to appreciate me writin' him once a month, every month, from October 2015 - November 2017. There were times where I didn't hear from him, but I knew by writing tha letters every month, I wanted to keep tha consistency up 'cause on September 18, 2015, I asked Percy, "What iz it about me you think that's, like, so great?" He said, "It's your work ethic, man, you still got it, man! You don't--you consistent as a muthafucka, man!"

After leaving Percy, hour by hour, I was seein' who was around... I met up wit Cash Made World Wide recording artist, Doonie, droppin' his Heartfelt Vol. 2 mixtape. We were waitin' for his roommate, Bold Business Entertainment recording artist, Cage Tha Blackmaine, to get outta work. We spent close to an hour on tha road, picked him up & then, we went back to their apartment and they spit some shit on camera. After I left them, I met up wit ForestStudios' Loxley. He showed me his studio and we vibed for a lil'. I then headed to tha Hollywood casino shortly after. I played Easy Money, got tha bonus, won $100.00 & then, got $5.00 in free slot play. I played a penny machine & won $26.00 off of tha $5.00 in free slot play.

Time Awake: 7:30 AM - 2:00 AM (18 1/2)

Hours Slept: 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM (04)

Day 3 in Louisiana: 9.05.2018: Woke up, ate at tha Waffle House, then headed to Dirty Dinero Band Camp recording artist, Y.B. For Initials' latest apartment. He played me some of his latest shit but we had an odd encounter. On March 8, 2018, I had gotten into an argument with a dude named "Looney", after he was flashing cash & I had told him to donate to keep my FrankieThaLuckyDog'z Block blog alive. He had said, "I have four kids, I don't just give money out like that," but I had helped him in tha past. He had pulled up and I just remained calm, or as Percy Keith says, "Your demeanor--Tha look like you have a lot goin' on!"

Once they dipped & I headed to Live 2 Hustle recording artist, Lil' Yella's spot. Knowing who Lil' Yella was since November 27, 2007, when I reviewed Kenner DJ, Jimmy The DJ's Gangsta Gumbo Vol. 1 (Hosted by Dee-1) mixtape (as a part of tha group, Nuttiochie Boyz), he has gained a lil' popularity since. Just like he told me last year, on December 21, "It took me over 10 years to get signed never give up on your passion no matter how tough it gets." He played me some of his latest shit, as he said he has features from NBA YoungBoy, Future, Waka Flocka Flame & others. After leaving Yella, I encountered another artist I knew since January 26, 2008: Solo Mafia Enterprises' recording artist, King Sav. He mentioned in his lil' piece on my upcoming documentary, "There's times where I don't even have my own music; I have to hit Frank up for it!" Finishing off my trip, I met up wit Doe-Doe and we went to Hana's for clothes.

Overall, I was surprised with how well this trip went! No issues but it had its share of craziness, of course, just like every other trip! Sleeping only 8 1/2 hours, I was quite pleased to use as much time as possible for Baton Rouge (remember, I get lots of overtime; I lose about $150.00 a day if I take one day off. So, I try to utilize my time as much as possible). Couldn't believe I met up wit B-Real; couldn't believe I did a track wit A1 Wissel! Couldn't believe I experienced bein' in a car at 140 mph! Crazy!!
