Review #1,998: B.R.U.H. "4:20 Smokers (The Playlist)"

Reviewed on 6.09.2021 (Review #1,998)

 

 

As I’m almost to my 2,000^th review, I’m at my 1,998^th review, now! Just one more afta this & I’ll be goin’ to my 2,000^th! My 1,000^th review was on June 10, 2011 & we’re almost 1,000 reviewz & 10 years later! Anyway, here goes B.R.U.H. 4:20 Smokers (The Playlist), courtesy of B.R.U.H.! I wanna give y’all big shout outs fa featurin’ me on this playlist/mixtape compilation, as well! Start Tyme: 4:20 PM | End Tyme: 4:42 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!

01. Bo$$mane Dre “I Got It”
>>> Not really feelin’ this voice or start, here, especially startin’ this review off at 4:20, ironically…! Beat all typical-soundin’, as if it was Future & how he’s drown in garbage-soundin’ a-tune; yuck af!! I can’t listen ta this a-tune shit; I have to skip & move on! My Rating: 1.0

 

 

02. TG Kommas feat. Boosie Badazz “Marijuana”
>>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ newer track, here; catchy with how Mr. TG Kommas comes through wit it. I’ono why he obsessed with tha rap-singin’ but I’ll try & get around that. Aside from him comin’ through with catchy shit on tha 1^st verse, tha hook’s pretty catchy, too, with tha “Marijuana” part; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse from Boosie & you gotta luv his energy, too! Luv how he says, “Marijuana”; nice & passionate, Boosie! Mo shit from TG on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ good fa tha streetz & pill-poppaz; good shit…! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

03. Playboy XO feat. OBN Jay “To The Roof”
Producer: DJ Trebble

Also heard this on my boy, DJ Tremon’s Trippy Tuesday 2, which I’m also featured on! Here was my review for it, earlier today:

Anotha hit-soundin’ track fa tha streetz & clubz of B.R., here; gotta appreciate Playboy! Props fa him comin’ through wit tha “To The Roof” action on tha hook, here; energy fa dayz!! Even on tha 1^st verse, Playboy got this shit on lock; just luv how he comes through wit it! He may have a similar sound from his “Booted Up” shit but with this formula, he can keep consistently stackin’! Keep “jiggin’ out [yo] draws” & bein’ “To The Roof”! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & OBN Jay comin’ through with a nice contribution fa this, too; glad Playboy gettin’ his shine on! My Current Rating: 4.8

 

 

04. MILK feat. LO3 “White Runtz”
I’ono about rhymin’ with tha late MO3 for tha featured name, here…; how will this go? >>> Catchy lil’ track & hook, so far; nice lil’ shit fa tha streetz & clubz to appreciate…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s soundin’ catchy; can’t say much, as I’m tryna understand as much of tha dialect & content as possible… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I almost thought it was Bun B, with that voice; it’s still a cool lil’ contribution, at least. My Rating: 3.9

 

 

05. Chevy Jade feat. Mack Tony “Go Dumb”
>>> Sounds like an okay start; I’m expectin’ ta hear more energy outta that title part, tho… Hearin’ tha hook & tha energy didn’t increase; it’s based off tha beat’s energy… A lil’ risky with tha hint of a-tune on tha vocals, at tymes… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I almost was turned off with tha “racks” shit; don’t wanna hear dat! At least they got “big blunts” that are “blowin’” nicely, in “here”; P.R.O.P.S.! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & now, this iz startin’ ta sound Memphis/Project Pat-like, as far as tha flow & beat sounds; interestin’ fa tha Bootstate…! He even gotta mention his “money long,” too? Why err-body gotta point out tha same shit? Either way, this a cool lil’ joint; it gets my props… My Rating: 3.7

 

 

½tyme: Other than tha 1^st track on this playlist, there are some dope anthems on here; props fa this 4:20 release! Currently, tha average rating iz at a 3.6; how will we continue?!

 

 

06. Frank Calhoune feat. Level “I’m Edibled Up”

Producer: DJ B Real

Just like earlier, I got to see myself on DJ Tremon’s Trippy Tuesdays 2; here’s what I had ta say:

Anything anybody need ta know about my lyrics & how I come up with what I come up with, here’s tha link of how I break ‘em down: https://frankiethaluckydog.blogspot.com/2021/04/album-03-frank-calhoune-autistic-stoner.html

 

As far as tha track, itself, I wanted to start with “feat.” as tha ID but I tried “x” to represent tha strength of tha collab. However, I can’t figure out how all tha dance/EDM artists have “x” in their IDs. Anyway, I kept “feat.”; with that bein’ said, I luv how I had all energy applied to this collab. Tha way that I visioned it & everythang, I just wanted tha edibles to speak! Luved that I was on 30 mg of edibles on this recording, just lettin’ it be known on tha hook! It’s all about tha effects of tha edible! With me on tha 1^st verse, I just luv how I add tha “chiggy-chiggy” to “chocolate,” just bein’ a human DJ, with my voice/flow! Also, havin’ tha “I’m edibled up” part from tha hook to repeat 4x on my verse? That’s to consistently pump tha energy into people! Also, Level sounds dope with his collab, of course; luv tha energy he brought to tha table, of course! Only thang iz he was afraid of tha edible I went to give him, durin’ tha videoshoot. It wasn’t even potent but he acted like it was gon make him crazy, smh. Either way, definitely a highlight in my career & I will continue to bring it! My Current Rating: 5.0

 

 

07. Foxx “Smokin’ Loud”
My Current Rating: 4.4

 

 

08. Gullie Beezy & V Presley “Currency”
I know a Gullie Beezy but more on tha Morganza/Simmesport side, courtesy of my boy, P.I.R. & tha late Dre Tree Z, who just passed a few weeks ago. >>> I can tell this ain’t tha same Gullie Beezy, even tho he ironically said, “I know they play that raw” & P.I.R. stands for “Playing It Raw”…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I just know it’s pure garbage; one hyphened word: a-tune! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I almost thought it had a chance ‘til I heard tha a-tune in tha voice, smh… Unfortunately, between tha name trick & tha a-tune wash-up, this a no-no fa me…! My Rating: 1.1

 

 

09. Spade Lingo feat. Level “Loose”
Anotha Level feature, just like mine! How will this one go? >>> Sounds excitin’, as well as nice & distorted with tha beat in tha beginning, here! Future sequel to Level’s Jiggaman & Young Ready-featured “Get Loose” from 2012? Kinda seems like that with tha “Loose” in tha title fa me… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from this Spade dude & he cool, whereva he located—guess “that Baton Rouge shit” iz what he represents. I couldn’t tell if he was a 225 representa but this nice ta be created! Good shit, Spade; as far as Level, of course, energy to tha top! Lol @ him & how he “be fulla pillz”; hmm… Either way, just glad he puts all his effort & energy into tha track! Maybe this ain’t all tha way on tha “Get Loose” tip, especially since Level’s on that hook, but this a good lil’ afterlife of “Get Loose”, I guess? My Rating: 4.3

 

 

10. Mouse On Tha Track “Celebrate It”

Producer: Mouse On Tha Track
That’s “Tha” for Mouse’s stage name, Mr. B.R.U.H.; attention to detail! >>> Even Mouse has to have tha gay-ass a-tune?! I can see if he would always answer me to be doin’ silly, a-tune-drownin’ music like dis. However, by not respondin’ to one of my texts or anything, like, I’m askin’, why & how iz there tyme fa somethin’ goofy like dis? Mouse, go tha organic route & produce/sound like you did from tha 2000’s! Anyway, tha hook’s pretty goofy & silly for an Usher remake, on tha lyrics & flow; weird. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & tha flow can be a love/hate situation; awesome energy but a lil’ off tha wall? Same thing with tha 2^nd verse, in a way; I’ono… Coulda expected betta from him, tho… My Rating: 3.2

 

 

Overall: Kinda went both wayz fa me, with how this compilation went. Some tracks were good, some were on fire & some were wack. Either way, I know DJ Scrap & tha whole B.R.U.H. community grind non-stop, so I’m sure they’ll do betta on future releases. Glad y’all been fuckin’ with tha LuckyDog since I Run Louisiana, which was 1,867 reviewz ago!

Hottest In The City 10 iz Tremon’s finally installment of tha Hottest In The City series. He’s continuin’ with Trippy Tuesday releases, which I should get to check out.

01. Famous “Lucky (Long Live J-Dirty Intro)”

Producer: Big Wayne

Yeah, it was such a tragedy ta lose Dirty seven months ago today. He was an ‘80s baby in his 30’s like us who really put tha city of BR on. Glad he put in lots of work; R.I.P.! >>> Thought that sounded like Mista Cain in tha beginning; nice lil’ “Abadie” flava to hype ‘em up! As far as tha song itself, it sounds nice with this dude’s energy & Big Wayne’s laidback, Baton Rouge street-based production… Hearin’ tha hook & it nice; good intro track, here! Luv tha energy in tha hook but it overshadows tha darker, unlucky side of tha street life. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s pretty dope wit tha consistent rhymin’; props on tha energy! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds good; dope, even tho sometymes, I get distracted from feelin’ like I’m bein’ preached by these lyrics. My Rating: 4.3

 

 

02. Draftpik “Hottest In The City”

Full-on Hottest In The City title, here, for tha series! >>> Chick? Didn’t expect a chick wit Draftpik as their name… Sounds like an okay lil’ hook; at least tha beat on some Baton Rouge club-like shit… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it an okay track; I don’t really fw too many female rappers, so tha ratings don’t usually shine bright wit me. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I’ont really gotta say anythang. Ironic that she’s right about “put you ta sleep like tha seats heated” ‘cause I feel like it can bore too easily. My Rating: 2.6

 

 

03. Dylan Cage “On ‘Em”
>>> Nice intro from Dylan, here; good shit. I have yet ta meet Dylan & shit; I know he know about me. It’s just, I hadn’t had much of an opportunity ta connect wit him. As far as this track goes, thumbs up fa him bein’ “fulla doe-doe” & how he comes through on this Baton Rouge club beat! His voice just okay fa me but he knows how ta make a nice club banga like this, at least; good effort. Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty nice wit tha club energy; keep it up! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & yeah, I’m feelin’ tha jigged-out presence, here! Gots to have a “jigga” in yo life, at some point! Luv how tha vibe reminds me of when I first got inta Louisiana rap music’s undaground, durin’ tha November 27, 2007 review I did for Jimmy The DJ’s Gangsta Gumbo, Vol. 1 mixtape! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

04. Breezy Bre “Punch You Down!”
>>> Likin’ this return of tha club-rap style from her, here; good hook & beat… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’m likin’ how she all tha way focused, courtesy of tha “bleezy in [her] hand!” Like I previously said, I don’t immediately jump for joy wit tha female rappers but I’m glad Breezy at least keepin’ tha energy up fa tha 225, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it str8; nothin’ really fa me ta say, in addition ta what I already said, here. My Rating: 3.8

 

 

05. No Shoes feat. Geno “Out My Top”

Geno as in Geno Saladin? I wonder, especially since I literally just did a tribute video for my boy, Mr. Saladin… >>> Sounds like a hyped-up intro, here; definitely in tha mood fa it…! Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty lit; good shit, y’all! Gotta stay “out [tha] top,” especially on this Baton Rouge production! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & this shoesless dude soundin’ nice; keep tha energy up! Got tha Geno dude on tha 2^nd verse & he don’t sound like Mr. Saladin but I know I done heard this Geno in tha past. Good contribution wit Mr. Shoesless No Shoes, here; gotta luv tha club vibe, 100%! My Rating: 4.4

 

 

06. Amber Jewelz “Beast Attitude”
>>> New synth of tha YoungBloodZ & Lil’ Jon’s “Damn”, 18 years later? Sounds good fa tha Rouge, here; almost thought it was a dude on tha mic, at first… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; lyrics just a regular-soundin’ mainstream vibe fa me, overall. “Got a flow so hot, tha mic might melt”; good line, right there. Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; I like this title for a chick/club vibe… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & I can agree wit tha “no tattoos; got a fear of tha needle” line. I mean, I ain’t got a “fear” but I tend to leave my body alone. I’d rather peep out peoples’ tattoos & hope they make me feel important. As far as tha rest of tha track, it’s whateva. My Rating: 3.5

 

 

07. D Boy “Blow A Bag”
>>> Not really crazy about tha title or tha beginning of tha lyrics, in tha hook. However, this sounds like it’s somethin’ nice, between tha Rougetastic production & Rougetastic D Boy on tha mic… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it’s consistent; keep bein’ “on that dumb shit”! Likin’ how tha beat decides to change into an eerie vibe, toward tha pre-hook part; good shit. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds cool; likin’ how tha eerie part from tha pre-hook sounds like there’s less vocals. It’s like, a full-on zoned feelin’ for tha eerie beat part! My Rating: 4.0

 

 

08. Mack Tony “Bricks”
>>> Sounds like a Louisiana version of Trae Tha Truth? A more Atlanta, typical mainstream-soundin’ beat? I’ono but we’ll see… Hearin’ tha beat mixin’ from 0:26 – 0:28 & it’s pretty dope how it repeats to grab your attention…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; just an okay lil’ street track fa me, here. Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s str8; nothin’ too-too excitin’ about tha vibe, except when tha beat repeats b4 tha hook. My Rating: 3.6

 

 

09. Miss Portia feat. Ice Doll “Closet Freak”
>>> Likin’ tha bouncier vibe but not really inta this track, between tha closeted hook & it bein’ a female track, overall. Good collab between Miss Portia & Ice Doll fa tha clubz but mainly for tha ladies. As far as me, I’d rather move on to tha next track… My Rating: 1.7

 

 

10. Finea$$ Music “Bounce”
>>> Definitely not diggin’ tha vocals from this female; why a-tuned? Also, tha money content; gtfoh!! “Bounce” vibe & beat wasted, here; tyme ta keep it goin’…! My Rating: 1.0

 

 

11. T-Dot feat. Bezo Luciano “Like Dat”
Geez, now a blocked-featured artist?? Tremon, you gotta pick up tha quality!! >>> Sounds like a hyped-up beat for this decent-soundin’ Dot dude. Kinda sounds like if Jimi Jump was back in his teens/early 20’s? Decent, includin’ tha hook; too bad I only was able to listen to 0:53 of it, due to bein’ blocked by tha guest feature! Also, as of this March 14, I’m even more disgusted in tha feature for blockin’ me a whole year to tha day of when my uncle suddenly passed! It’s like, absolutely NO recovery from that moment!! *Stops at 0:53* My Rating: 3.8

 

 

12. Tha G.T. “How I’m Livin’”
>>> Glad to hear G.T. back & that he stayin’ motivated, like a true ‘80s baby in their 30’s should. I’ve neva really been tha craziest about his beat choices but I’ll let this “C.R.E.A.M.”-inspired production in, on my interest… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it cool; I dig how he comin’ through fa you, here, Tremon. Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I’m really feelin’ all tha energy in those sirens & “how [G.T.] livin’,” in 2K21! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it cool; consistent rhymes, so I’ll give him props fa dat. My Rating: 4.1

 

 

13. Pubmos “Daf”
I’m expectin’ anotha random female, here… >>> Sounds like an okay track; now, we’re on a hyphy, West Coast-styled production? Sounds like an okay White dude, if so? Just figurin’ out who they can be, based off of this 1^st listen; not bad but I’ono if it’s a full-on Hottest In The City club vibe… Figured that tha title stood for “Dope As Fuck,” here; that’s what it do. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds like dry energy wit tha delivery. Just seems like a lil’ bit of reading-like, with tha flow’s sound; a lil’ bit of energy applied toward tha end of tha verse, at least… My Rating: 3.4

 

 

½tyme: A few misses, as well as decent & good tracks; seems like a banana split of likings & dislikings? A 3.4-rated release, so far; let’s see if we can pick back up…!

 

 

14. Bo$$mane Dre “Trap Never Closed”
>>> I wanna say that it’s cool when I hear tha hook but it sounds like a typical-soundin’ rap song & perspective of today’s world. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it okay; like, what exactly iz ‘posed to spark my liking to lovin’, here? Don’t really hear nothin’; it’s just an always-open “trap,” basically. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it just sounds like blah, blah, blah; nothin’ ta say… Am I hearin’ “2010 ain’t stoppin’ nothin’”? Like, ’10? My Rating: 3.1

 

 

15. Chevy Jade “Opinions”
>>> Why does some rhyme/preach-like rappin’ like this need to have a-tune ruin it? Like, what’s wrong wit these peoples’ point of views? It affects my “Opinions” tremendously! Just a typical-soundin’ trap beat wit a-tune in tha way… Tha 2^nd verse iz here & I just shut it off at 1:24; no more voice bullshit! *Stops at 1:24* My Rating: 1.0

 

 

16. GeeMoney Pimpin’ “I’m On It”
Producer: Austin On Tha Track

>>> Four years after tha killin’ of Austin, here he posthumously comes with this track fa his Off Tha Meter patna, GeeMoney Pimpin’. Hearin’ tha hook & it aight; why tha title part had ta have a-tune ruin it? Ugh! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I’ono, I thought I woulda liked Gee & Austin’s combination betta. If tha production was more on a Baton Rouge tip than soundin’ like your everyday trap-rap shit, it woulda been betta & less borin’ fa me. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it sounds like a hidden feature? I’ono; I guess it’s an okay contribution. Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse & it’s anotha hidden feature? Don’t really know but their rhymes are betta than tha 2^nd verse’s. Still, a lil’ long fa this mixtape? How did this go on three verses & just kept goin’? My Rating: 2.8

 

 

17. OCG Peso feat. OCG Sheppard “Bottle After Bottle”
>>> Sounds like an okay production wit tha “Give Me That” sample in tha background, at tymes… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; can’t deny when tha OCG gang comes through… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it cool ta hear, as well; keep tha club vibes up, err-body! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

18. Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT “Steppin’ Like”

Producer: Playa Pizzle
Oh boy; this got lucky to shine on tha final Hottest In The City! Seen it ID’d in so many various wayz:

• JT OMG x Johnny Hustle
• JT OMG x Johnny Hu$tle
• JT OMG feat. Johnny Hustle
• JT OMG feat. Johnny Hu$tle
• OMG JT x Johnny Hustle
• OMG JT x Johnny Hu$tle
• OMG JT feat. Johnny Hustle
• OMG JT feat. Johnny Hu$tle
• Johnny Hu$tle x JT OMG
• Johnny Hu$tle x OMG JT
• Johnny Hu$tle feat. JT OMG
• Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT
• Johnny Hustle x JT OMG
• Johnny Hustle x OMG JT
• Johnny Hustle feat. OMG JT
• Johnny Hustle feat. JT OMG

 

My personal choice was OMG JT x Johnny Hu$tle, to define that they both collaborated on tha hook. However, after watchin’ Hu$tle interview JT on “Friday Night Flows”, I found out that JT reached out to Hu$tle. So, now, I understand tha Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT; I always thought it was all tha way OMG Da Label & not all tha way Hustlemania, here. Needless to say, this a dope collab, of course; luv how Hu$tle & JT combine their vibes on tha hook, here! Hope I can party wit them, one day—still waitin’ on a Hu$tle party! Anything Hu$tle a part of iz a straight-up addiction or potential one, I feel like! Luv how he brought a lot outta JT, here; hope for tha best wit tha OMG fam! Also, Hu$tle consistent as shit wit tha lines, in his verse; his “bruh-bruhs,” lol! Also, tha “-ank”-endin’ lines; that’s Hu$tle for ya! Will he be worth $1,001.83 for a feature, one day? We’ll have ta see…! My Current Rating: 4.9

 

 

19. HBO 2 Of ‘Em “Time Today”

Strange stage name for HBO… >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat to kick thangz off, here; how will tha HBO dude do…? Sounds like a good dose of energy on tha hook, here; definitely nice… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it cool; gotta have tha energy in you! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it pretty hype; gotta hold it down fa tha 2-2-5! My Rating: 4.2

 

 

20. No Shoes “Limelight”
>>> Cool Baton Rouge-soundin’ production fa tha streetz & clubz, here; I digz it. Hearin’ tha verse & it aight; just seems like a quick lil’ 96 seconds, overall? Just a bunch of rappin’ ta hold it down, it seems like… My Rating: 3.8

 

 

21. Queen Leelo “Juggathon”
>>> Thought by seein’ tha “Jugg” in tha title that it was gon be more on tha jiggin’ tip. Too bad I mistook tha “U” vowel as if it was an “I”, smh. Not really feelin’ how this chick’s comin’ through on this; just sounds like a mainstream track wit this beat. Like, who else ain’t “chasin’ dat bag”? Tha worst topic because I neva see it come my way! Can’t even register tha rest of this as any form of interest in me; that’s just my opinion, tho. My Rating: 1.1

 

 

22. Slim Simaa “Before Our Eyes Close”
>>> Thought it woulda been a dude but it’s faster-soundin’ R&B…, with tha a-tune fuckin’ shit up, too, smh. I just can’t take these vocals serious; when will tha world eliminate tha shitty-ass a-tune? No wonder why I keep plenty of my good clothes & vibes from 2008! If people can keep stupid a-tune, why not me keep all my ’08 shit? That’s just me, of course…! Tha 2^nd verse of this almost sounds like as if this chick woulda been a guest on a Down Bad track wit Jack Da Rippa or somethin’. Sounds like similar flowin’ of tha singin’ but it’s still shitty fa me, overall. My Rating: 1.8

 

 

23. Miss Portia feat. Cupid “For My Ladies”
>>> It’s been 14 years since “Cupid Shuffle” & still, Cupid runs wit that “new Cupid!” shit… With that bein’ said, as far as this track, tha singin’ sounds more serious than tha humorous previous track on here. It’s not for me, overall; not inta this R&B-type shit of today, as it seemed to be left off in tha 2000’s, somewhere. Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t too-too bad from Mr. “(New) Cupid”, here… Of course, he had ta throw in tha “got good money” shit, like 2021 R&B really needs tha rapper perspectives, too? Also, Cupid on tha 2^nd verse & it’s serious for an R&B tip. Still, how did this get lucky ta be 3:50 long? I hate soundin’ uninterested but I gotta keep it real fa my 32-years-11-months-and-10-dayz-old-ass. My Rating: 1.1

 

 

24. Tchi feat. Duke “Last Night”
>>> This chick starts off nice with her fuckin’, in tha beginning of tha 1^st verse. However, way too slow & sappy ta nearly end this mixtape off. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & there’s nothin’ of interest fa me, here; just anotha R&B-B vibe that got lost up in this mixtape. Hearin’ tha Duke dude on tha 2^nd verse & I’m likin’ his Baton Rouge-soundin’ voice fa tha rappin’, here. Not tha most excitin’-type of lyrics but I would like ta see how he comes through wit some Baton Rouge-soundin’ rap jointz, one day… My Rating: 1.5

 

 

25. OMGJaycee “All Good”

>>> Thought it woulda been really hype wit tha OMG representa, here; just seems okay wit tha hook & beat, so far… Hearin’ dude’s voice & tha vibe, here, soundin’ like tha late Twelve A’Klok ta me… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & it aight; basically, it just sounds like plain-ole rappin’, overall. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s boring; nothin’ poppin’ ‘bout these rhymes. Like, tha last part of tha 2^nd verse dealt with loneliness? Sounds like me but I keep myself as productive as can be; avoid tha sadness, if so! My Rating: 3.3

 

 

26. Defboi Matrix “Doin’ My Shit”
>>> Beat aight & tha hook sounds good; sounds like a non-Baton Rouge native, based off how they sound? It ain’t too-too bad, overall, as tha 1^st verse sounds like flashin’ success? Guess that’s tha “recipe”? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s whateva; I seem ta get bored wit these tracks easily, just based off how tha 2^nd verses seem like blah-blah-blah, when there’s no feature… My Rating: 3.2

 

 

27. Yotsai “Girlfriend”
>>> Sounds like it can be its own club anthem, if treated right? Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like tha vocals/beat combo’s too loud, as far as tha masterin’ goes? That’s just me but it’s a pretty energetic anthem, here… Lots of “dick” bein’ offered on tha end of tha hook; at least it’s a chant to catch attention… Feelin’ tha “throw it back” chant on tha 1^st verse, as well; keep it goin’… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse & it’s good fa just four barz, like tha 1^st verse; a quick way to catch tha attention. Overall, I’m glad there’s energy ta end this off but it’s just an okay type of energy fa me. My Rating: 3.0

 

 

Overall: Didn’t seem like it was somethin’ special to review but I reviewed it ta show luv—my luv, that iz. Lots of female vibes ta break up tha continuous club vibes I’m used to, when it comes to tha Hottest In The City series. Also, tha a-tuned garbage got in tha way too many tymes. Not too many highlights on this edition but we’ll see how tha Trippy Tuesdays series turns out, wheneva I decide on reviewin’ those.

Review #1,816: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 8"

Reviewed on 9.18.2019 (Review #1,816)

Still in tha middle of nowhere with my life, tho slowly attemptin’ to get back on track… In tha meantime, I got this review fa my boy, DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 8, courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment! Gettin’ ta review this tha day of its release; pretty lucky, right? Let’s see how every1 does…! Start Time: 9:46 PM | End Time: 10:35 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!

01.

I’m guessin’ either Track 01 was a copyright on SoundCloud? Wanted to guess an intro attached to Track 02 but I’ll just assume it’s a copyright… Can’t review this track if nothing’s here… My Rating: N/A

02. Whop Bezzy feat. Kevin Gates “Stunt Forreal”

Without a 1^st track, this’ll be tha track to kick thangz off…! >>> Sounds like a good, hyped-up, Baton Rouge-styled hook/track, here! Bezzy sounds like a Spitta/T2 mix in his gumbo’d flow, here; good shit! Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse, as he treats err-body “like a blunt” and “passes [‘em] to [his] homies;” dumb shit! Gotta be “fulla pillz,” enjoyin’ life to da max! Wish I was reviewin’ this high! Too bad I gotta wait, smh! October 9^th sentencin’ day; we’ll see how long da countdown ta freedom gon be…! Wish me luck!! Wit dat bein’ said, goin’ str8 ta Gates on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some good/classic-soundin’ Gates! Definitely feelin’ this collab; pure BR/225-type shit to da bone gristle! No sellout/mainstream bullshit-soundin’ vibes here!! My Rating: 4.6

03. Spitta “It’s Up”

Fa’got da apostrophe in “It’s!” >>> Strictly consistent shit from da Spit, here; good shit! He got da flames on lock, throughout tha 1^st verse! Good shit on tha hook, too! Gotta have your “head in da clouds!” Without tha highs, I can’t have my “head in da clouds,” as far as a full-workin’ brain; ugh! Good shit throughout tha 2^nd verse, too, as well as tha rest of this shit goin’ on! Good lil’ acapella shit, too; Spit knows what Spit knows! My Rating: 4.4

04. OCG Sheppard feat. Kocaine “Twerk Contest”

Shep needs an extra “P”? >>> Sounds like it has a good lil’ 504 blend, here, wit tha beat/vibe… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good; feelin’ tha extraction of good vibes bein’ brought out…! Got Shepard on tha 1^st verse, as well, expectin’ a winner wit dis “Twerk Contest”; good/consistent twerkspective, here—just made up a new word! 9.18.2019 @ 9:52 PM (EST); take notes! As we keep it goin’, we got Kocaine on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through as if it’s a Mardi Gras in Tremon’s club; good shit! Speakin’ of “birthday,” Happy Birthday to my round, Young True! Yalp! We ‘80s babies in our 30’s! My Rating: 4.2

05. Breezy Bre “Ready”

>>> A female, here, as we’re keepin’ tha twerk anthems goin’… Hook cool; I fucks wit it… I keep thinkin’ I’m hearin’ “asshole,” but I know it’s “ass go” and “ass, tho” lol. Lol! I’m really looped in tha “ass go” and “ass, tho” parts, lol! If I was high, I woulda been couch-locked & mind-fucked into it! Likin’ how tha bounce vibes picked up, toward tha end! Surprised how much I liked this one…! My Rating: 4.4

06. Birdman & Juvenile feat. Lil’ Wayne “Ride Dat”

Switchin’ to a more mainstream vibe, here… >>> Sounds like it transitioned well from tha full-on bounce vibe to a N’awlinz gangsta/bounce combo vibe… Juve on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit some good shit; I fucks wit it… I like how tha hook has that classic turntable mix vibe to it; good shit, Juve! Oh wait, him sayin’, “Ride dat—ride-da-ride—ride…,” sounded like mixin’, at first, lol! But yeah, we got brrrrrr—Birdman on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit; nice… Not a single second fa fuckery, here! Oh shit, I think I spoke too soon? Wayne comin’ through on tha 3^rd verse wit dat gay voice shit! He finna be 37 in nine mo dayz; still usin’ auto-tune like he fuckin’ 25! If somethin’ should be old, it’s auto-tune! It’s aight, tho; I won’t trash this too much, just fa dat… My Rating: 3.7

07. Jaye London “Fuck Ova”

>>> Sounds like a good lil’ repetitive hook; anotha club banga…! Hearin’ Jaye on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit supapowers! “Drink it down;” he holdin’ it “down!” Good shit comin’ outta tha 2^nd verse, too. On da real, it’s just a good lil’ BR club banga wit dat G-shit on top! My Rating: 4.0

08. Mack Tony “Cocaine Step”

>>> Slower vibe, here, but more on a throwback, G-shit tip… Hearin’ dude on tha 1^st verse and it almost reminded me of Project Pat’s voice/flow, slightly… Tha hook’s cool; gotta keep dem streetz on lock! Speakin’ of “cocaine,” comin’ October 9^th, as well, I have a new music video comin’ out. It will be speakin’ on my situation, as a coke addict attempted to ruin my life. My version of dissin’? Playin’ his character and embracin’ his love fa tha coco! Anyway, good shit on tha 2^nd verse, too; nice job, overall… My Rating: 3.9

09. Giovelli “Baby On Baby”

Like DaBaby? >>> Likin’ how it’s short and instantly in yo face! Quick and instant; consistent rhymes “on” rhymes! My Rating: 4.3

10. Mofoya “Rain Man”

>>> Almost sounds like some1 like Barry White sampled in tha background, here… Not really my style of rap that I’d really brag about… Let’s leave this lyrical shit to where I’m at, on tha northeast. Not that I’m gonna give it a thumbs down but it’s not 100% fa me and I don’t think it fits this compilation’s vibe… Tha 1^st verse iz nice wit these rhymes… Oh, even more not on my tip: Only one str8 verse? Nothin’ to transition catchiness? Gotta criticize; it iz what it iz! My Rating: 3.1

11. Kocaine “Str8n It Out”

>>> Looks like a quick lil’ 89 seconds… Sounds like a good lil’ hook; I feel tha catchiness of this “str8n” he doin’! Hearin’ Kociana on tha verse and it sounds good; I’ll give him anotha plus. Either way, seein’ his name, all I think of iz my upcomin’ music video! My Rating: 4.1

½time: This a great edition, so far; started off real well and continues ta shine! Not too many bumps in tha road, here; a 4.1-rated compilation! Let’s keep it up! Only way iz up from here…, right?

12. Cake “Ls”
>>> Coulda skipped this auto-tune shit but I got stuck listenin’ ta it… “Boxers…Ralph Lauren;” I’ll just co-sign that line and that’s it! Title ironic? “Ls”? A loss, here! Beat upbeat but yeah, tha auto-tune in 2019 made it go down tha cesspool fa me! My Rating: 1.3

13. Beezy KKK “Shakeback”

>>> Anotha quickie… Hearin’ tha verse and it’s good, I guess… Likin’/got thrown off at :35 wit that distorted warp! My Rating: 3.6

14. Rocky Mountainz “Pack Pusher”

>>> Sounds like a catchy beat start, almost like one of my catchy sounds I’d use to produce… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s str8… Hook str8, too; likin’ it a lil’ betta than tha 1^st verse, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8, as well, even tho I’m slowly losin’ interest. I’ono, maybe, a catchier flow/voice needed? Coulda used a feature on this track ta switch thangz up? Suggestion… (for his next track)? My Rating: 3.6

15. Big Lucci feat. Gunz Up Ent. “Lil’ Mama”

>>> A lil’ boost in tha energy, from those previous tracks! Needed a lil’ Louisianaffeine—anotha new word by me! 10:16 PM (EST)! Definitely diggin’ all tha energy on tha hook; good repetitive vibe! Got Lucci on tha 1^st verse, here; I’m feelin’ his club vibe/lyrics! We need this kinda shit every once in a while! Shouldn’t be a thing of tha past! Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on, here, comin’ through wit a good lil’ Louisiana club vibe, here; nice shit… My Rating: 4.5

16. Bjay feat. Spitta & Percy Keith “Watch Out”

Lookin’ like a good collab, here…! >>> Just like tha song I just reviewed, this goes great wit it! Great transition! Feelin’ tha energy on tha hook, as well as what we got goin’ on from this Bjay dude on tha 1^st verse! Strictly reppin’ da trenches of tha 225, here; good shit! Constantly throwin’ “back” on tha hook, too; dumb shit! Spit-to-tha-ta on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through as he can “fix it if it breaks;” an undeniable Spit! Let’s see how hard Perc gon come through on tha 3^rd verse…! Didn’t recognize his voice fa tha 1^st few seconds but tha energy iz at a 10, here! Of course, as consistent as can be! It’s kinda how I feel, right nah! I feel like as I’m typin’, I’m breathin’ fast or somethin’! But yeah, a pitbull off da chain!! My Rating: 4.7

17. L Franchise “Block Us”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ track/interestin’ beat; nice lil’ 1^st verse, here… This “minimum wage” shit wack, on da real! I been had a Master’s Degree fa six years and everytime I apply fa a job, it always starts at a minimum; wtf? I deserve way more than a 12 or some shit! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it sounds a lil’ catchy wit tha flow, here; good shit… My Rating: 4.0

18. Flow Gamble “FWM”
>>> Goin’ wit a distorted voice on tha hook/title, as well as a club/hyped-up beat ta mix it; good shit! Feelin’ tha energy; let’s see how tha rappin’ goes… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and goin’ str8 ta da “bag;” hmm… Even referencin’ tha “Ricky Bobby,” like 2019’s tha new ’09? I would usually be like, “Wtf?” However, I feel like I’d rather embrace energy than criticize it. I think this world’s too lazy, these dayz! Stoned iz good to be lazy, at times, but I like when it makes me productive!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and tha rappin’s pretty-much an adrenaline rush! My Rating: 4.2

19. Breezy Bre “Throw It Back”
>>> Almost got afraid when I heard it; thought it was a City Girls mainstream feature, lol! I know this a good, consistent review, tho! We stay in da Boot and da Boot only!! Good lil’ upliftin’ vibe from her, once again, on tha hook… Tha verse pretty nice, too, fa dis Tremontastic party; mo props from me! My Rating: 4.1

20. Lit Phil “Really Mad”

Hope this dude a good newbie… >>> Threw me off as tha bounce vibe transition from tha last song transitioned to this, which iz upbeat but not as fast. It literally seems like a slow song, at first, lol. Naw, tho, it mo shit fa tha clubz, of course! Hearin’ tha hook and it cool; I fucks wit it… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and dude got some good rhymes fa these 2019 BR streetz/this BR atmosphere. “How you almost 30 and ain’t have a car, yet?” I thought it was bad when I didn’t have one till 22…! I thought drivin’ by myself at 23 was late… Gettin’ my newest car at 26…; my slowness ain’t too far behind, huh? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it almost sounds off-beat, in tha beginning? I’ono… I’m diggin’ tha energy and what he bringin’ to tha table, tho… My Rating: 4.1

21. Buddy Cream “Enough”
>>> Rather just pass on this! Sounds like a jacked beat… No “money” fa me and odd-soundin’ voice! I only lasted 19 seconds! *Skips* My Rating: 1.0

22. Beezy KKK “Fulla Hurt”
>>> Was on-guard wit Beezy’s voice, here (damn you, Buddy Cream!) but it str8… Hearin’ tha hook and it ehh…; okay but not really my cup of tealicious tea… I’ono about that singin’, b4 tha verse; voice sounds like every1 listenin’ should cringe… Weak transition? I was gonna say, where tha hell does tha hook come back? Toward tha end; sounded like a long-ass verse… My Rating: 2.9

23. Spitta “Gotta Be Real”
>>> Endin’ wit a HardBody beat, here… I’m likin’ tha sounds in this one; sounds like a cool lil’ beat and Spitta spittin’ dat BR street shit on top of dis! Even sounds good wit a sample on tha hook, too; HardBody fa tha props! Everytime Spit says tha title on tha hook, I feel like it’s a props fa [DJ] B-Real! Good vibes! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it cool, as well; good job, Spit! Unlimited times he featured on each compilation and number of compilations! Keep it goin’! My Rating: 4.3

Overall: Seemed like tha 2^nd ½ of this CD had a rocky road ta cross… Omit tha auto-tuned trash, as well as any weird voices… I also thank tha lyrical content tracks should be saved for albums, not mixtape compilations fulla energy. Either way, great job, Tremon! I think from November 1 – 30, I’m gonna do a commercial fa you every day, promotin’ your Hottest In The City compilations. I was gonna do September 23 – October 31 but Skull Duggrey, n.k.a. Charles Hershieie, hit me up and wanted me to give him an idea/boost. So, I decided that I’m gonna produce a new beat for him, each day, from September 23 – October 31! That’s right! Can I produce 39 beats and release 39 commercials wit 39 new beats, in a row? It’s all about consistency! Till November 1, I guess, keep up tha grind! You gon get your luv shown, in due time!
