Review #1,811: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 5"

Reviewed on 8.15.2019 (Review #1,811)

Slept like shit wit my annoying back but I’m back for more reviewz! Here we go: DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 5; resumin’ from yesterday’s birthday celebration! Also, these Hottest In The City releases, startin’ wit this one, will be from this year. Start Time: 7:23 AM | End Time: 8:34 AM

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. O.U. Bird “Baton Rouge Shit”

That’s what I like to see! Will it be what I like to hear? >>> Sounds good; sounds more like it’s on some street “shit,” here. Likin’ those BR hood shout outs; good 1^st verse… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s cool; I remember when Jigga City Dae~Dae & Tha G.T. had their “BR Shit” track, nine years ago. Now, here we are & err-body still holdin’ it down in some type of way. Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse; this iz soundin’ nice. Definitely feelin’ what dude spittin’; makes me 100% get in a “Baton Rouge” perspective! You know! About tha “AIDS” shit, that’s true; I think too many pop they kidz unexpectedly. Take it from my grandma: She had her kidz all in even-numbered years, planned! Also, nice “R.I.P.” parts, toward tha end. Don’t forget Handy, Big Markee & Big Fancy! Legendz! My Rating: 4.3

02. Jaye London feat. Tron “No Hook”
>>> Sounds good from tha beginning ta instantly goin’ inta tha 1^st verse. Dude (Tron) on tha 1^st verse sounds a lil’ like a Spitta, sometimes, wit tha flow. I’ll give him his props fa some of these rhymes; keep ‘em goin’… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and I’m feelin’ how Jaye comin’ through, strictly wit dat BR shit! Consistency toward tha end of tha verse, too; dude know what it iz wit dis gangsta shit! 225! My Rating: 4.0

03. Beezy K “Receive”

>>> Wasn’t sure what ta expect wit tha voice but this prolly sounds cool durin’ your undaground sets. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and he sound aight; sounds like YFN Lucci, without tha whiny flow. I agree about tha “loyalty” shit, toward tha end of tha 1^st verse. Ironically, someone else with a “Beezy” in they name (not Whop but some1 not really known) changed on me, last year. It was ova blowin’ a red light wit my rental car, in Louisiana; I got tha ticket, smh! I paid tha charge; they agreed to pay & blew me off. Smh, instant change, afta nine years! “Loyalty” fucked up, these dayz! With that bein’ said, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse and it’s cool; good consistency, once again…! My Rating: 3.9

04. NBA YoungBoy “Big Talk”
>>> 1^st Verse: Just rhymes, here, iz what it sounds like ta me… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s short and whateva, I guess? Tha 2^nd verse sound consistent; guess I’ll be nice ta this? My Rating: 3.8

05. Jay Lewis feat. BBE AJ “2 Loaded”

>>> Sounds dope! “Neva sober, 2 loaded!” Also, durin’ tha hook, I’m definitely diggin’ tha 2^nd ½ of tha hook, where tha title repeats! That’s that pure shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and this shit official, as far as tha “loaded!” Can I say that I’m embarrassed ta be clean fa tha past 28 dayz? Smh, 3^rd time this year! Can’t wait fa my shake back!! Got tha 2^nd verse goin’ on and it continues ta be nice and “loaded!” Gotta be as “loaded” as possible!! My Rating: 4.5

06. Johnny Hu$tle “Bald Head Hoes”

Lol @ this title from Hu$tle…! >>> Sounds great fa tha start/1^st verse & that lil’ sample wit tha title part! Good shit, here; glad he keep it goin’! Can’t wait ta collaborate wit him in tha future! I just wish I can get my shit 2gether & money right, once again…! Gotta dig that hook, tho; what else can I say? Good shit comin’ out tha 2^nd verse, too; keep it comin’! My Rating: 4.6

07. Bolo “Regular”
>>> Sounds good wit this production—oh wait, I know this one from tha 3^rd mixtape! A repeat song, Tremon? Still good & ironic that I said it sounded like a Johnny Hu$tle, right afta Hu$tle on here! My Current Rating: 4.0

08. NBA YoungBoy “I Came Thru”
>>> This one sounds a lil’ more normal than usual tracks by him. Despite still bein’ a guilty pleasure, I’ll give him his props fa tha sing-rappin’. If he was an unknown dude, I would prolly appreciate this more. My Rating: 4.1

09. Fredo Bang feat. Kevin Gates “Oouuh (Remix)”

Tha correct spellin’: “Oouuh”, instead of “Ouuhhh”, accordin’ ta what I’ve seen. But yeah, stealin’ tha show, again? Prolly woulda thought bein’ a guilty pleasure but yeah, I rememba this from my 5^th Louisiana trip, as well as BET Jams! Gave it a listen while fulla dem edibles & thought it sounded pure! Production’s on point, as well as how Fredo comes through on dis! Pure catchiness, as well as how Gates adds flava to this remix! All you need iz eight barz ta make it sound betta! I’ll admit: Fredo make me proud of bein’ a 31-year-old, tho I haven’t enjoyed any success at this age, yet, smh! My Current Rating: 5.0

10. Kocaine “Swimming Lessons”

>>> This went by quick and was good; beat on point & rhymes, too… My Rating: 3.7

11. Arthentic “ASAP”
>>> Despite tha 1^st track I heard of them bein’ a 1.0 skip, tha 2^nd one was betta & this kinda goes wit tha betta vibe. Sounds catchy wit tha hook spellin’ tha “A-S-A-P,” as well as sayin’, “ASAP,” as well. Tha 1^st verse cool wit tha singin’; I’ll give it its props. Tha 2^nd verse’s str8, too; good blend wit all these tracks, too. My Rating: 3.7

12. Rocky Mountainz “I Am Dope”
>>> I feel tha consistency, durin’ tha 1^st verse; I’ono about “Top 2,” tho, as he previously said. Hu$tle & “Oouuh (Remix)” pretty-much have those spots on lock, right nah, bein’ tough ta beat! Hearin’ tha hook and it cool; beat a lil’ dry, at times, it seems like… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and tha beat has some mo life to it, at least… My Rating: 3.5

13. Lil’ K “I’m OK”
>>> Damn! Do I jinx it when I think in my head, “Wow, no shitty songs! We’re gettin’ betta!” Then, tha auto-tune/mumble shit strikes! I won’t skip it, so fast; wanna see what else I can get outta dis… Yeah, totally on tha same bullshit you hear on tha radio/everywhere, these dayz! I think to myself, “How do these dudes turn females on wit their bullshit like dis?!” Like, they make kidz so easily?? Have to be honest! Tha rest of this iz just braggin’; too slow fa this mixtape vibe, too! My Rating: 1.1

14. Nicole Monionno “Sauced Up”

Here’s this chick again… >>> It’s str8; nothin’ too special but not wack, like tha auto-tune/mumble shit I just heard on here. Tha rest of this kinda boring fa me… My Rating: 2.7

15. Mack Tony “Way Outta Here”

>>> Sounds like a Drake production/track, so far… I like how he said, “Bwoy,” or whateva he said, toward tha end of tha intro…! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and he strictly wit “1000 Ent.,” here (Tremon said it, too, in tha intro). Tha hook sound str8; sound like he ready fa “2K19.” Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8; sound like his voice/flow a lil’ quiet, at times… My Rating: 3.6

½time: Got a 3.8-rated CD, so far; feelin’ most of tha tracks! I thank this might be tha best release, so far! We’ll see if it can hold up, tho…

16. Beezy KKK “KKK Shit”

From three “K”s to only one? >>> I’ono if I’ll feel this one like tha previous track of his on here. This more like a YoungBoy rappin’ style; cool real-life rhymes but kinda yada-yada wit tha continuous rappin’. My Rating: 3.2

17. L. Franchise “Nice Things”
>>> Sounds like an okay club banga, based off tha hook/beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds like dude on a mission fa tha “nice thangz.” I thank it str8; not gonna say much else… Tha 2^nd verse has some cool, catchy rhymes goin’ on, here; good shit. I have to say, Tremon, you got tha mixtape compilations on lock! When I have doubts of how tha undaground gon continue, here you come; you fuck wit a lotta people! My Rating: 3.4

18. Geno “While You Jig”

Oh, this again, lol! From tha 4^th edition! My Current Rating: 4.2

19. Tyler Dion “I Smoke”
>>> Sounds like a good lil’ southern rap track, here; good 1^st verse. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s cool; I like how he admits to smokin’ “weed.” It seems like tha admittin’ makes tha track nice; who don’t like bud?!? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and he keepin’ it goin’. Lol, “Work was kinda slow;” neva seems so “slow” while I was leadin’. It always seemed like a short-handed, mad house! My Rating: 3.6

20. Rocky Mountainz feat. Jay Dexter “Trap-A-Rella”

>>> Sounds like heavy bass, here; a decent hook sung about tha “trap,” here. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha singin’ cool, here; I fucks wit it… Tha rest of this sounds good fa a singin’ track; seemed kinda short or did it just breeze by? My Rating: 3.7

21. Adam Dollars feat. WNC Whop Bezzy “Go With The Move”

>>> Sounds nice and energetic, on tha hook. Tha beat sounds cool; almost sounds like it samples Jigga City throwbacks like “Watch My Shoes”, in tha sounds! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s cool; this Dollars Adam sound good, despite his “Dollars” name. Glad Whop brings tha energy on tha 2^nd verse, here; good shit! Consistency at its finest! Oh yeah, can’t forget about my 29^th birthday…

Had no idea who he was but I met him at tha Bella Noche! Good ole Whop Bezzy! My Rating: 4.2

22. 2K Babies “Bend Over”

Oh boy, tha 2000’s have struck? >>> Luckily, this hyped-up and definitely nice! Glad these teens got it on lock; gotta luv tha beat at :37! Luv when it continuously slams! Tha hook good wit tha bendin’; nice lil’ sample… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ good wit tha energy brought to tha table, here (or should I say, track)! My Rating: 4.0

23. Jade Delvalle “The Red Song”

>>> Almost thought it was Hu$tle in tha beginning… Sounded like a good hook but lemme see if I can get adjusted ta dis female, on tha 1^st verse… Ehh, it’s okay but not really 100% my shit; same thing goes fa tha 2^nd verse… Not gonna call it shitty but it iz what it iz. My Rating: 2.9

24. JT “I’m With Dat”

>>> Sounds like a good hook and beat; let’s see how this gon continue… Hearin’ tha verse and dude sound motivated. My Rating: 3.6

25. O.U. Bird “Get That Bag”

>>> Sounds like a slower street vibe, here; good lil’ 1^st verse goin’ on, too. Tha 2^nd verse sound goods, too, as well as tha hook; good shit/good motivation. I must admit: Tha hook’s kinda a tease to people, tho, but that’s how this flashin’ generation lives, I guess? My Rating: 3.5

26. Dreco Street “Bag”

Anotha “Bag” track… >>> Sounds like a good lil’ 1^st verse; kinda on tha same level as tha otha “Bag” song I just heard… Hook aight; not really inta tha “gettin’ money” shit, tho. Tha 2^nd verse ain’t bad, as well; it iz what it iz, I guess? My Rating: 3.3

27. Shane Lyric feat. Famous “I Gotta Eat”

>>> An okay hook; beat doesn’t really sound like it on a Louisiana tip, tho. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha rhymes are comin’ out like bullets, it seems like? Tha 2^nd verse just regular rappin’; not connectin’ well wit this but it’s str8, I guess? My Rating: 3.0

28. NBA YoungBoy “Valuable Pain”

>>> Sad he don’t know nothin’ ‘bout “no Jodeci,” smh; too young? Sounds like he tryin’ too hard wit tryna be catchy. Tha sing-rappin’ can be catchy but why tha hell he tryna rap 2382394824978943849 words in one line, durin’ tha 2^nd verse?? My Rating: 2.8

29. Beezy KKK “Umbrella”

Here comes triple “K”… >>> Regular street-soundin’, Rouge shit, here… Tha 1^st verse ain’t bad; tha hook goes with it, too. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8; not connectin’ wit this one too well, as well… My Rating: 2.6

30. Joe Picasso feat. Kocaine “Problems In My City”

>>> Sounds slightly catchy, on tha hook; a decent lil’ track, as far as tha hook/beat go… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it aight, here… Tha 2^nd verse sound like it not really for me or this mixtape vibe; not really inta tha depressin’-soundin’ rhymes… My Rating: 2.1

31. Glover Music Records “Ghetto Symphony”

>>> Sample in tha background of this beat, here… Hearin’ tha rappin’ and it good fa an endin’ track, I guess? Just rappin’, rappin’, rappin’… Nicole on tha 3^rd part and she adds a unique lil’ twist to what y’all providin’… Just okay fa me but I’ll give it its props… Tha 4^th dude sound good; don’t keep tha “lil’ ones” too hungry… My Rating: 3.1

Overall: Ironic dat I just ended this review at 8:34 AM—you’re born in August & you’re now 34! Also, today’s Nipsey Hu$$le’s birthday, so it’s like I’m celebratin’ his birthday wit yours! Gonna continue celebratin’ afta I handle a few thangz & get back ta reviewin’ Vol. 6 a lil’ later. Fa now, I thought tha 1^st ½ of this mixtape was pretty nice. Tha 2^nd ½ started gettin’ on a decent/shitty level, unfortunately. Either way, as long as I have some impression, that’s a plus?

Review #1,809: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 3"

Reviewed on 8.14.2019 (Review #1,809)

A lil’ longer of a nap but I can’t stand my lower back pain, anymore… Gonna keep tryin’; here goes my review for tha birthday boy, DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 3! Start Time: 1:25 PM | End Time: 2:40 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!

01. Meter Gang “Designer”

R.I.P. Austin On Tha Track. >>> Mighta reviewed b4, when Austin passed. Just decent; not feelin’ tha hook at all, with tha gay vocals. A tad betta wit tha 1^st ½ of tha 2^nd verse but then, tha weird vocals come in toward tha 2^nd ½ of tha 2^nd verse; no comment. My Rating: 1.5

02. NBA YoungBoy feat. Future “Right Or Wrong”

>>> Pointless in me reviewin’ YoungBoy; sounds like a whinin’ Lucci. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from YoungBoy and once again, I just can’t get inta his overrated-ass. Wanna hear when he make a song that doesn’t features lyrics about “money” or his “sons!” That’ll be tha day! As far as Future on tha 2^nd verse, it’s tha same flow as YoungBoy’s, only worse fa me. This ain’t 100% Louisiana; only 50, due to Future. My Rating: 1.9

03. Louis Badazz “Ratchet (Freestyle)”
R.I.P., as well. >>> Much more on a Louisiana tip, fittin’ your mixtape compilations! Good lil’ hook; almost sounds like an original track than just a freestyle. Good job wit tha verse; good set of energy runnin’ thru his veinz! “Born a ratchet;” good shit! My Rating: 4.2

04. Jay Lewis “Here I Go”

>>> Not anticipatin’ this “Here I Go” jacked beat… Just sounds like braggin’; woulda been betta wit an original beat! This 2018, here & we’re still rappin’ off non-original beats??? Damn, a 2^nd verse! La-la-la…; blah-blah-blah… My Rating: 2.2

05. Young B “Where The Tabs At”

Woulda prolly added this to my playlist at tha time, but I think I was goin’ thru shit… >>> Still, definitely nice; gotta give my boy a good review fa tha good track! Lookin’ fa “where” err-thang good “at,” on tha hook; nice! Beat sounds like a quiet club banga, which iz interestin’ fa this kinda vibe… Hearin’ what he got on tha 1^st verse and tha flow cool; good shit. Gotta luv tha flow toward tha end of tha 1^st verse; good emotion about tha “tabs” and “lean!” Go, “lean!” Tha 2^nd verse soundin’ just as good as tha 1^st verse, no doubt! “Gimme ‘bout 15;” that’s how long it takes to get to every spot in BR! Every spot “15” minutes away, which iz always good when connectin’ wit peeps. My Rating: 4.6

06. Backdraft “All Of A Sudden”
>>> Sounds a lil’ betta than tha female on tha 1^st edition. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it str8; can’t complain. Hearin’ tha hook and I’m kinda diggin’ how she repeats tha title a few times. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8, as well. Just an okay track fa me; nothin’ too special, tho. My Rating: 2.8

07. Jaye London & Famous “Catch My Balance”

>>> Tremon lettin’ tha streetz know, “Free Famous,” here, on tha intro. Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty dope! I’m diggin’ tha “loaded” shit, as well as this semi-calm beat, over a club vibe! Diggin’ tha “Catch My Balance” shit; nice! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice; great lil’ collab! Likin’ how they alternate between tha verse! Been “poppin’ barz fa five dayz;” definitely nice! Gotta luv they party vibe! Always give me excitement fa tha future! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and they alternatin’ again; dope shit! Damn! His “face wet;” crazy shit! Tha shit Tremon can bring outta people! Dope shit, all tha way round! My Rating: 4.6

08. Picasso feat. Kocaine “No Mo Gangsta”
>>> Almost sounds like a mainstream-soundin’ beat but I’m feelin’ tha transition of club bangaz, here; nice hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and yeah, it’s all about bein’ an “‘80s baby” ‘cause we #80sBabiesInOur30s, as I say! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8; good job, Kocaine… My Rating: 3.9

09. Lil’ K feat. Jay Lewis & Spitta “Kut Up”

>>> Sounds like a cool lil’ hook, kuttin’ “up!” All about reppin’ fa tha Boot’s cities! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good. Not as special as some of tha club bangaz on here but it’s more on a street vibe, wit tha vocals… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ str8, too… Got Spit on tha 3^rd verse, a.k.a. tha “Spit Guy,” here, soundin’ great, of course. Definitely feelin’ how he comparin’ shit to states vs. tha hook’s cities! Good shit! My Rating: 4.0

10. Beretta Bred “No N Between”

>>> This dude sounded a lil’ cool fa tha streetz on tha intro (which was tha outro of tha last song). However, tha voice he has on tha hook sounds too much like a mainstream voice. Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse and it’s not terrible but I don’t take these vocals serious… More of an organic-soundin’ voice on tha 2^nd verse, here; likin’ that beginning part of tha 2^nd verse (“grind tha weed…”). More on a street vibe than club vibe, here, but still sounds good fa this mixtape. My Rating: 2.7

11. Arthentic “Rise & Grind”
>>> No thanx! Auto-tune’s bad wit rappin’; fuck tha singin’ even more!! *Skips* My Rating: 1.0

12. Bolo “Regular”
>>> Sounds like a cool dude on tha hook wit tha “dat’z wassup” part; let’s see how this turns out… Beat kinda cool fa rappin’, between tha streetz & club vibes… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and he aight wit tha rhymes. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it str8, as well; can’t complain… Hearin’ him on tha hook at times & it reminds me of a Johnny Hu$tle flow, just a different voice. My Rating: 3.8

13. Viper “Bitches”

>>> Anotha chick, here; kinda likin’ her hook, here. Almost sounds like Lil’ Jon on tha YoungBloodZ “Damn!” “Don’t start no shit, it won’t be no shit!” Her part iz: “Bitches stay talkin’ shit but they don’t neva do shit.” With that bein’ said, hearin’ her on tha 1^st verse and as it sounds nice, I have to admit, I like when she raps fast! Usually, I been dislikin’ that, lately. Hearin’ what she got on tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice; quickly transitioned to a lil’ talkin’ and then, some chantin’. Usually, I wouldn’t admit to givin’ a female rapper a 4.0, these dayz, but this track’s got it! My Rating: 4.0

14. Johnny Hu$tle “Right Na”

Glad I was predictin’ somethin’, two songs ago (without payin’ attention to tha tracklist)! >>> Sounds like a catchy hook, as well as tha beat; nice job, H-You-Dolla$ign! Hearin’ him on tha 1^st verse and he in luv wit tha bitches, as always! He in luv wit love, strictly lovin’ everythang… Wish he would apply some of that love to me (doin’ business, that iz & connectin’ in person). I still have yet to link up wit Hu$tle, as every Louisiana trip progresses. Hearin’ him on tha 2^nd verse and, a “PA” shout out (to me? Prolly not, tho.); good shit. Likin’ how he sound consistent toward 2:10ish; “Tazmania!” My Rating: 4.2

½time: Affected by a few shitty songs on here, resultin’ in only a 3.2-rated CD. I feel like I like this mixtape, tho—tha good tracks, that iz! Let’s keep it goin’…

15. JT “Def For That Gang”

>>> Sounds aight, so far; a good club banga? A good/consistent-rhymed 1^st verse, here. Hearin’ tha hook and it not really catchin’ on fa me. I don’t thank it wack but I thought it woulda been catchier… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it sounds like a nice lil’ undaground street vibe. My Rating: 3.6

EDIT: S/O to OMG JT! OMG Da Label!!

16. B-Thone feat. C-Loc & Fiend “Getting Paper (Remix)”

Was kinda lolin’ at tha sample kickin’ in… >>> Sounds cool/funny wit tha “I’m A Grinder” sample in tha hook, here; good shit. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse from Thone and it’s soundin’ str8. I know him from Tha Antidote’s Joe On The Track (from Real Profit Entertainment) & a decade ago. With that bein’ said, good lil’ blend wit this mixtape/vibe, here. Keepin’ it goin’ wit an extra decade-and-a-half ahead of him wit Loc on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit good shit. Can’t deny his consistency in tha undaground; glad he keeps it goin’. Oh, that hook, lol! When Kevin had a funny/catchy voice! Keepin’ tha ‘90s rappers goin’ wit Fiend on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit his heat. A 225-to-504 connection, here, soundin’ nice; good shit. Can’t deny when err-body know how ta handle these club beats by combinin’ tha streetz & club vibes together! That’s how you do it! My Rating: 4.4

17. Ace feat. Da Trio “2 Da Max”

Sounded good from tha last few seconds of tha previous song’s blendin’… >>> Sounds like a good hook; feelin’ tha unknown, undaground rappers feelin’ “2 Da Max!” Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and they sound good; “yea wit da yea!” Gotta always do it “2 Da Max!” My last trip to BR, I only slept three hours! I wanted as much action as possible! Tha only reason I slept was to charge my camera; that was it! I kept it goin’ that followin’ day, as I flew, drove a few hours to my job (at tha time) & then, to tha casino for free play! “2 Da Max!” With that bein’ said, tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, as well; gotta keep it goin’! A 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice, as well; can’t deny it! My Rating: 4.1

18. Krucial “Light On”
>>> Sounds like a cool hook; gotta be “in [yo] zone!” Likin’ how this “light” be “on,” here; “I’m fulla dat shit!” Got guilty feelings hearin’ about all these “fulla dat shit” feelings! Soon, Frankie! Soon! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and this sounds nice; can’t deny it, here… Iz this tha same Big Krucial I knew from earlier in tha decade, where they were diagnosed wit cancer? He, like, 41, now? If so, he my dude; forgot what his voice sounded like. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s cool, too; can’t deny tha good club vibes, here. My Rating: 3.7

19. Bossman Dre feat. Tony Michael “Favorite Stripper”

>>> I’ono… Was just sayin’ to myself, as tha average CD rating starts risin’, “No more shitty songs to keep it up, right?” Well, not really; not tha shittiest but I’ll tolerate this, fa now. Not really inta today’s R&B/singin’ shit; not catchy at all fa me. That’s how I feel about tha hook, here. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s not 100% R&B, as we have tha slow rappin’, here; decent/ehh… Even tho I’m not tha craziest about this, hearin’ this in Tremon’s club nights must be nice! It’s always about undaground music; always! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and I’ono about all this spendin’ shit. It’s like, err-body can afford havin’ a girlfriend & kidz but not a music video or (at tha time) a $20 mixtape appearance, smh. That’s why I don’t fuck wit none of dat, on a serious tip. My Rating: 2.1

20. Tweeday “Love Me”

>>> Almost wanna skip wit that hook’s voice! Don’t wanna be disappointed that it’s Tweeday, so I’ll see how much more I can take of this… Naw! After 30 seconds, that’s enough! Where’s tha club bangaz of his?? *Skips* My Rating: 1.0

21. Luxury Dyme “Fall Thru”
>>> A female, here; sounds like an undaground Nicki or some1 I don’t fuck wit. Yeah, I don’t really have feedback fa this one; boring/not fa me. My Rating: 1.2

22. Whop Bezzy feat. 70^th Street Carlos “Feeling Myself”

Maybe, I can have some luck, here? >>> This sounds like a cool lil’ club banga…; nice lil’ hook! Gotta feel yoself! Hearin’ Bezzy on tha 1^st verse, “in tha back like a book sack;” good shit! Feelin’ tha energy—gotta bring dat energy! I neva got ta hear Carlos, yet, but I’ve heard of him. I’m lookin’ forward ta hearin’ what he got on tha 2^nd verse, here… He sound cool; I fucks wit him, instantly! Definitely hope a bright future’s ahead fa him; good shit! Definitely a nice lil’ collab; I give this one props! My Rating: 4.3

23. NBA YoungBoy “Through The Storm”

Sounds like we’re back to tha sour voices… >>> Why anotha appearance from him? “We on dat cloudy doe-doe;” bet he don’t know who Doe-Doe iz (Boosie’s cousin—oh, I let tha cat outta tha bag)! Basically, that’s me sayin’ YoungBoy ain’t 100% on his BR shit. God, he even said, “do-do,” on tha 2^nd verse, too; he only wishes! I kinda am feelin’ a guilty pleasure vibe wit tha hook, tho. I think I’ll give this one a lil’ bit of props but as a guilty pleasure! My Rating: 4.0

24. Calliope Poppa “Project Hoes”

>>> Tha energy iz phenomenal, here!! Luvin’ tha bounce vibe, “out dat 1-0-3!” Thought that was “Gangsta’s Paradise” in tha background; definitely catchy, too! Hope this dude keeps tha consistent energy comin’, throughout tha years ta come! Changin’ up at :58? Oh, well, no more “Gangsta’s Paradise”—oh wait, it came back, lol! Luv tha confusion and unexpected turns this track’s takin’! Time for “Ready Or Not” ta hit ya, now… Was gonna say, how long iz this? I see it’s only 3:03; prolly maxed out at three minutes, so it’s fine. My Rating: 4.3

25. Bezo Luciano “Everything Big”

Watch him “Cut Up Bad,” as he says. >>> Mouse on tha beat! Sounds like somethin’ I mighta heard b4? Then again, I’ll just act like it’s somethin’ I neva heard b4, right nah… Feelin’ what he got, as far as “Everything Big,” on tha hook; good shit! Good shit on tha 1^st verse, too! Gotta have “big” dreams! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and he keepin’ tha energy comin’! Likin’ tha “shmoke” and “throat” lines, back-2-back; good shit! Got a 3^rd verse, too; gotta keep it comin’! My Rating: 4.2

26. Kocaine “Coming Back”

As he comes “back” fa anotha one… >>> Beat sounds too mainstream fa me; decent hook but no “jiggin’” wit this mainstream-soundin’ beat. Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and let’s see how he can keep tha streetz comin’… I’ono, it’s aight; I rather hear a different beat, tho. It sounds like anybody in they right mind can make somethin’ like dis… Mo rhymes comin’ outta tha 2^nd verse, here, but I’ll put tha rating right down tha middle, due to its typical soundin’… My Rating: 2.5

27. Jay Lewis “The Long Way”
>>> Oh God, a sing-rappin’ track… Sounds annoying wit tha hook; not really my style, here… Either way, I still think it would sound nice in your club sets! Just not to my solo earz… My Rating: 1.3

28. DJ Tremon “DJ Tremon Freestyle”

Ooh, a surprise fa tha ending, wit an original producer’s credit (Eazy Beatz)? >>> I’m diggin’ it; I always dig that you have a good mood to you, when it comes to what you bring to tha table. It brings tha best outta people like me & that’s why I show you luv. See, at least you have an original producer on your freestyle, unlike some of what you showcased on jacked beats! But yeah, good goin’; maybe, more bonuses at tha end of tha next comin’ mixtapes? My Rating: 3.8

Overall: I thought it was good, despite there bein’ those tracks I ain’t really fuck with. I think you bring a good, nostalgic vibe to tha table & that’s why I’m takin’ tha time out ta review these…

Review #1,789: Lil' Yella "The Johnny Blanco Story"

Reviewed on 12.31.2018 (Review #1,789)

As I’m on my way to gettin’ to da moola, lemme get this review outta tha way, right quick: Lil’ Yella The Johnny Blanco Story, courtesy of Live2Hustle! L2H! Start Time: 7:46 AM | End Time: 8:17 AM

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!

Link To CD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-johnny-blanco-story/1327205629

01. “Pablo Escobar (Intro)”
JMan on da beat! >>> Great rhymes, even tho a typical-soundin’ mainstream beat, here… Still, gotta luv tha rhymes you bringin’ to tha table! My Rating: 3.7

02. “WGBT” feat. NBA YoungBoy

>>> Just like how it was when I was witchu, as you were playin’ me your tracks! “We Gonna Ball Today”! Great shit, includin’ how energetic you are wit dis! Great hook, great energy, great wit what you bring to tha table, here! Glad that you got to collab wit YoungBoy, but I don’t feel him as close as err-body else; way too overrated! Still, definitely nice, despite his rich/typical rhymes… My Rating: 4.5

03. “Move For The Money”

I’ono… >>> Not into all tha “money” tracks, so this kinda ehh fa me… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds good wit your rhymes, at least. Glad your rhymes ain’t shitty, despite tha “money” hook… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, too; ehh, it iz what it iz… My Rating: 3.2

04. “Trip 2 Cali” feat. Pacman Viccz & A1 Yeezy

>>> Not really feelin’ this typical-soundin’ track; sounds like every mainstream track… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse & I just wanna skim through this track… Fuck! Tha shit not playin’, right nah; my fuckin’ iTunes…! Got it back up; here you are on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some betta rhymes… Liked your faster rhymes on tha No Limit 2 Cash Money CD betta than this, but it betta than that 1^st verse, tho! Hearin’ tha 3^rd verse from this Yeezy dude and he sound betta… Not too bad, overall, but that 1^st verse & this mainstream vibe kinda got me like, hmm… My Rating: 2.7

05. “Lit Up” feat. Kevin Gates

JMan on dis beat, too… >>> I’ll admit, Gates sounds pretty good on this one, despite me bein’ iffy wit tha fast rappin’… Still, he brought a nice street vibe fa you fa this 2K18! Also, nice hook; great collab! Decent lil’ typical-soundin’ mainstream beat, too… Hearin’ you on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds good ta hear, too… My Rating: 4.4

06. “Getcha Shine On”
JMan on da beat… Accidentally heard it on tha previous CD… My Current Rating: 3.9

07. “Cashmoney” feat. Joey Bae

JMan! >>> I like how this one sounds, if this gotta be tha best-soundin’ JMan track… I know it ‘bout “money,” but it “Cashmoney,” here, like Cash Money! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s pretty nice wit what you bringin’… Fastness, “money,” ummm…, good, tho… Tha rest of this pretty nice, too; good shit, overall… My Rating: 3.6

½time: Kinda in-between wit my feelings fa this, here… Looks like tha big-featured tracks were tha ones fa me, despite me not really goin’ for ‘em… Only a 3.7-rated CD, so far…

08. “Madness”
>>> Sounds pretty nice, on tha hook, even tho a mainstream-soundin’ beat… Decent, overall; can’t really say much… My Rating: 3.0

09. “Doors Up”
JMan… >>> Likin’ how this beat sounds; sounds like an intense movie finna be recorded in tha streetz! Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s good wit your regular-soundin’ rhymes—well, big livin’… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty good, too; good shit… Tha 2^nd verse soundin’ nice wit what you bringin’, too; keep bein’ “flawless!” My Rating: 4.3

10. “She Tatted” feat. Shi

JMan, here… >>> Sounds like an attempt at makin’ a club banga but this singin’ voice, on tha hook, sounds like an Internet-sampled track or somethin’…! Hearin’ you rap on this and, damn, you gotta go wit tha Cardi B flow? Damn; lemme make this quick! Too mainstream-y fa me…! My Rating: 2.5

11. “How You Want It”
Hitz, here (Young Hitz, I assume?)… >>> Yup, this our Young Hits/Hitz, but this beat start kinda not for me… Ugh, why a trick? Not-listed singer on tha hook? Kinda ehh but I’d rather go with a negative perspective than a positive one… Hearin’ you rap and it’s ehh; not for me, this time… My Rating: 1.3

12. “Ol’ School”
JMan, here… >>> Has a good screwed & chopped vibe fa tha 2K18, here, on tha hook… Kinda likin’ how tha soul mixes wit tha S&C sound, here! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it has an interestin’ soul/ballin’ mix fa this slowie… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, too, soundin’ okay, too… My Rating: 3.4

13. “Reasons” feat. Doe_XO

JMan, once again… >>> I think this’ll be an okay/good collab… Kinda likin’ tha hook from Doe & what you got goin’ on, here… Sounds like it could be bigger than expected? Well, maybe based off that hook… Hearin’ you rap and, I’ono, but this fast-rappin’ shit always throws me off… Not everyone iz Twista!! Still keepin’ tha fastness goin’ throughout tha 2^nd verse… I like how you have some man-made sound effects, like, “BOOM!,” ya dig? My Rating: 3.8

14. “Changes 2” feat. Lydia Paek

>>> Don’t wanna hear Tupac, remade, slowed down… Nice try, good lyrics, but not my cup of tealicious tea…! Even got tha same lyrics/vibe on this hook from this Lydia… Ehh, don’t wanna leave anymore feedback but props on comin’ “from nothin’!” My Rating: 1.7

Overall: Thought it was gon be betta but I guess this where tha mainstream comes to kick my ass… Still, a few tracks stood out fa me, so at least one of ‘em’ll be featured on my 2018 year-end countdown, comin’ January 7^th!

Happy Birthday, $hop With Ken, even tho tha workday sucked & was a paranoid one! Will it be like that next Tuesday, when it’s B-Real’s birthday? Deserves to be, after this stressful work year!! But, too bad I ain’t get to this last night. Guess tha previous CDs made me yawn too much to where I fell asleep & couldn’t get back up?

Link To CD: https://spinrilla.com/mixtapes/nba-youngboy-mind-of-a-menace-3

01. “Watchu Sayin’”

>>> Q-Red said on his Instagram that he produced Track #01, but it says, “DJ Swift”? I’ono; I’ll just wait for a beat tag? Either way, sounds too much like Mista Cain on tha 1^st verse with tha voice/flow, here… Regardless, it sounds nice with this beat and for an undaground rap song, overall. And, tha 2^nd verse sounds a lil’ more listenable… My Rating: 3.8

02. “Life”

>>> Now, this tha Q-Red production; scratch out that 1^st track! That ain’t him! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it sounds good with these real-life rhymes… Tha beat kinda quiet, at first, but it’s pullin’ through with these eerie sounds; nice! Not much goin’ on with tha hook except a distorted sample but it sounds nice with this beat… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s special with this eerie sound in tha beat! So many different eerie sounds goin’ on; nice! I’ll give this one major credit for its pluses, despite it bein’ one of those real-life songs! My Rating: 4.3

03. “Changed”

>>> A quiet beat start but it gets better… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit how you comin’ through fa these Baton Rouge streetz… Around :39 - :51, you kinda have a Shy Glizzy-like voice, as tha 1^st verse slowly ends; that’s what it reminds me of… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it a lil’ faster with tha flow… I’ono, nothin’ special; just too fast with tha flow… A long beat outro, too, but it sounds nice… My Rating: 3.9

04. “Ain’t Playin’”

>>> Nard & B beat; decent, so far… Hearin’ you on tha verse and it sounds okay; kinda mainstream-y…? Just yada-yada-yada with tha rhymes, here… Rappin’ doesn’t mean to just randomly rap shit off tha top of ya head fa no reason… Forgot that you do short songs, so this ended outta nowhere fa me… My Rating: 3.8

05. “Bet”

Anotha Q-Red production; can we keep it up? >>> Thought this sounded like him, but it ain’t? Was he a song off fa each # on tha tracklist? It sounds like an above-average-soundin’ beat, tho… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it decent… I’ont fuck wit tha lyrics, at times; boring “money” and doin’ it fa other people-type shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it just a regular-soundin’ hook with nothin’ much ta offer. I do like that you made “Bet” tha title, but why? Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it ain’t too bad; a lil’ betta with tha street life… My Rating: 3.7

½time: Looks like you’re on an above-decent track, here, as far as your production and tracks go. Nothin’ too bad, here; most sounds good. So far, you’re at a 3.9 for tha CD rating; hope it don’t go down…

06. “Stepped On”

Q-Red on tha beat! >>> Yup, this him, this time! Sounds like anotha pure beat fa Baton Rouge! Even how you comin’ through on tha hook’s pretty nice! Diggin’ tha steppin’! Nice job with tha 1^st verse, here; nice energy deliverin’ tha rhymes, too! Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2^nd verse, too, soundin’ great like tha 1^st verse… Random laughter at tha end? Wish I could be that happy at times, again… My Rating: 4.2

07. “Bootin’ In This”

>>> Q-Red did this beat and it sounds like it gon be anticipatin’! Only 1:33 on tha length? Sounds nice with this hook; I like this betta than tha previous joint! Great job with tha verse, spittin’ some fiya… A beat outro and 12 seconds of silence at tha end… My Rating: 4.3

08. “Murder (Remix)” feat. 21 Savage

Q-Red doin’ tha track…? You’re from Baton Rouge’s undaground, so no 22? And, 21 a mainstream one; how you have these connections? >>> Nope, not Q-Red, but DJ Swift, again; where was he goin’ with tha #’s? Sounds good with tha hook, here, whether it sounds familiar or not… Still, you sound nice on tha 1^st verse, too… Hearin’ 21 on tha 2^nd verse and it sounds good and almost an undaground feelin’, here… He kinda laidback with tha delivery but it’s still nice… It honestly makes me feel like this completely undaground, here; I can appreciate it… My Rating: 4.3

09. “All I Want” feat. 3Three

Q-Red On The Track on tha track…? >>> No beat tag; fail! Decent/betta-than-decent beat, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it ain’t bad; kinda calm with tha delivery, despite tha “strap” content? Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it ain’t bad; it flows nice with this beat… Tha 2^nd verse ain’t too bad… Tha quiet vibe of this track’s kinda draggin’… My Rating: 3.7

10. “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop”

>>> Decent start with tha beat and what you’re bringin’ to tha table with tha 1^st verse… Tha hook decent; nothin’ special wit this one, here… And, a 2^nd verse, here, soundin’ decent… This one prolly could’ve used tha Q-Red punches ta spice thangz up… My Rating: 3.4

Overall: Looks to me like this your best release, so far, despite almost no features… Q-Red helped out a good portion of your tracks, here, so you weren’t sinkin’ in tha decent/below-average range. Also, your non-Q-Red tracks were decent/not wack, for tha most part, so that’s a plus. We’ll see how you hold it down fa tha future…

Rankings:

10.       “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” 3.4
