Review #1,856: Mouse On Tha Track & Lil' Cali "Twice As Hard"

Reviewed on 11.27.2019 (Review #1,856)


A lil’ break from da work release but also, from work… Not tha right time for vacation, smh…! Either way, takin’ a quick intermission from my old school/throwback CD reviewz and am reviewin’ this, thanx to Lil’ Cali bein’ my dawg (as well as Mouse On Tha Track, too)! This review iz Mouse On Tha Track & Lil’ Cali Twice As Hard, courtesy of Dat Me LLC! Start Time: 1:37 PM | End Time: 2:01 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!

© 2019 CD Review (Review #1,856) reviewed on 11.27.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. “Everybody Eats”
Time ta kick dis off! >>> Luv how tha both of y’all keep this quality sound comin’, fa tha 2020’s! Definitely feelin’ tha production, as well as how Mouse luvs tha flow & deliverin’ tha hook! Anthemic; don’t mind all tha “money” shit, as well! Hearin’ Cali on tha 1st verse, strictly stayin’ full! Great job, just luvin’ ta eat! Got Mouse on tha 2nd verse, soundin’ dope; luv what he’s on! He strictly wit tha A+ flow! My Rating: 4.7


02. “Get Off”
>>> Sounds like anotha nice production, here, fa dem 225 streetz! Nice lil’ hook, Cali…! Speakin’ of “R.I.P. Soulja Slim,” just yesterday, it was already 16 years since he passed! Also, for those that neva peeped it out, my tribute video ta Slim, featurin’ all his music:
Back to da review… Got Mouse on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit tha consistent flow! Tell ‘em, Mouse: “Don’t be late, nigga;” all about bein’ responsible! Gotta put dat in they brainz! “Get out my ear wit all dat he said, she said!” Right! Lil’ Handy; been gone 15 years, as we just passed May 19th! Also, for those that neva peeped out tha Handy tribute video, featurin’ all his music:

Now, tha rating… My Rating: 4.5


03. “Big Mad” feat. Misdemeanor of PNC & Keedy Black
To da N.O., here? >>> Yeah, this has a nice lil’ N.O. feel, mixed wit tha Mouse production; dope shit! Almost sounds like a “Big Mac,” lol! If only I can get munched out, I can maintain tha 135 pounds of mine, which has been rising (used to be 115, when my Louisiana connection started; talk about munched-out)! Great flow wit Mouse on tha 1st verse, strictly havin’ fun wit dis shit! Can’t wait ta do it up wit him! Have his #, now; hope he answers this review, since it’s soundin’ nice, here…! I know he wanted to link wit me via Twitter, five years ago, when I celebrated his birthday…
Wit dat bein’ said, got ½ of PNC (spelled wrong?) on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through wit a nice vibe; 225 & 504 connect! Room fa Cali on tha 3rd verse, here, comin’ through wit a nice vibe ta get high to, it sounds like; definitely nice! I know I’ll be spinnin’ a good amount of these tracks, especially since I can play my iPod at my job; you know! Also, nice lil’ background vibes from Keedy Black, as well; great collab, reminiscin’ tha good times…! My Rating: 4.4


04. “Da Muscle”
>>> Just luv these Mouse flows!! Nice lil’ beat from tha non-Mouse producer (couldn’t ID them), as well! Glad he luvs ta have fun, at 35! I hope to have fun at almost 76, like my rappin’ granny! Neva age!! Got Cali on tha 1st verse, also 35; we tha greats! Tha ‘80s babies! We “#80sBabiesInOur30s,” like I say! Keep holdin’ it down…! “Gotta make sure all my people fed;” definitely fuckin’ right, Mouse! Can’t wait ta link witchu when I touchdown in BR, again! Just gotta get thru dis charge…! Hope it don’t go past January! Great job wit tha 2nd verse, too, Mouse; dumb shit! My Rating: 4.5


½time: Mouse been a lil’ quiet, lately, even tho he been makin’ noise on Level’s Deal Or No Deal 2 CD, released earlier this year. Now, we get an eight-track CD that’s twice as hot as if it was twice as long (16 tracks); definitely dope! A 4.5-rated CD, so far; definitely nice! One decade ago, it was Just Because & now, we got this! Keep tha consistency comin’!!


05. “Roots”
Like Valerie Broussard & Galantis, time to “put some roots down!” Ironically, that just came on Music Choice Dance, just recent! >>> Nice beat; feelin’ great, once again… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds dope; catchy flow, Mouse! Luv how he says, “We got roots,” toward tha end of tha hook; dumb shit! Got tha 1st verse comin’ from Mouse, here, doin’ tha damn thang; definitely nice! Got Cali on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his greatness; what else ta say? Y’all know what it iz! My Rating: 4.4


06. “PWM”
Wish I could have tha “W,” right now, ya dig? >>> Oh wait, lol, I thought this was gonna be called “Pussy, Weed, Money,” lol! It’s “Play Wit Me!” With that bein’ said, hearin’ Mouse on tha hook, as well as this dope beat and it’s nice! For Mouse to keep spittin’ money-soundin’ rhymes/hooks, it doesn’t bother me, due to how catchy he iz, with tha voice/flows! Definitely soundin’ nice on tha 1st verse, too; good shit—dumb shit, that iz!! Great job wit Cali on tha 2nd verse, too, strictly comin’ through wit tha heat! These songs are goin’ so fast, I’m, like, runnin’ (typin’-style) wit how I’m tryin’ to keep up wit these tracks, as they go with tha review! This iz goin’ by too quickly…! Keep bein’ “tha G-to-tha-O, A-to-tha-T,” Mouse!! My Rating: 4.5


07. “What U See”
>>> Sounds like anotha 504 vibe wit tha production, here; definitely nice wit tha vibes! Great job wit tha hook, Mouse; keep it comin’! Got Cali on tha 1st verse, this time, comin’ through wit tha heat! Definitely nice; keep “chasin’ [dat] M!” Got Mouse on tha 2nd verse, this time, comin’ through wit tha catchiness! I swear, he neva bores me! Outta tha decade-and-a-half he been around, he just keeps it goin’! I wish I was born in ’84, thinkin’ how great him, Cali, B-Real & others be! My Rating: 4.3


08. “Somebody Lied” feat. Adrian Bagher
Spelled “Adrian,” not “Adrien”! >>> Nice flute in tha beginning… I swear, I thought this was gonna be a depressing ending, which woulda ruined tha automatic five-star-rated CD rating…! Luckily, expectations are better, here! Sounds nice wit Dat Boy A—well, Adrian B, here, on tha hook; hold it down! Got Cali on tha 1st verse, once again, spittin’ some real shit on tha verse… May be real shit but definitely don’t sound depressin’; good job knowin’ what it iz! Yeah, “some say shmoke dies down when you beefin’;” time makes us stronger! Mouse on tha 2nd verse, here, even soundin’ catchy on this one! Just luvin’ that flow; A+, here! My Rating: 4.2


Overall: Did this review at a quick pace, due to tha limited time I have till I go back to work release (on my furlough)! Gotta appreciate every minute!! So glad I got ta review this, as I pre-ordered it from iTunes:
Great job, y’all! Y’all know what it iz! So glad to have new material from y’all & I’m glad y’all keepin’ it goin’, 15 years strong! Super-catchy flows from Mouse, great project collaboration from Cali & great vibes! Would’ve luved to reviewed this high, in tha field! We’ll have to wait till tha next collaboration project, in tha future, when all this nonsense iz clear of mine! Till then, keep up tha great work! Hope y’all appreciate this!
