Review #1,813: DJ Tremon "Hottest In The City 7"

Reviewed on 8.15.2019 (Review #1,813)


Got tha final installment fa DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 7, right nah—tha review, that iz! Just like Vol. 2, this one got removed from DatPiff, smh. However, it’s on SoundCloud, so I’m able ta listen/review it…! Start Time: 9:39 PM | End Time: 10:37 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 #1,813) reviewed on 8.15.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. O.U. Bird “2 By 2”
Looks like we’re gonna start this off right! >>> Sounds good; was caught off-guard wit tha “we don’t shmoke 1, we shmoke 2.” Thought it was gon be 100% str8 pillhead shit but this sounds good. Toward tha end of tha hook, he goin’ “2 By 2,” as far as tha pillz go. Wit dat bein’ said, good job wit tha hook & rappin’ ova this beat. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds cool; glad he luv gettin’ fulla dat shit! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty dope, too; gotta dig it! “Dat nigga fulla dat shit!” My Rating: 4.2


02. Jaye London & Famous “Aim Game Nasty”
>>> Sounds cool wit this vibe; almost sounds like Supa (sampled) on tha hook, when they say tha title. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good, strictly “rollin’ on dat suicide!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s cool; no Supa sample here, but it sounded like him… Overall, I’m diggin’ this; let’s keep it goin’! My Rating: 3.8


03. Shon Thang “Murda Man Talk”
>>> Almost ain’t feel tha voice, at first (thought it was YoungBoy or somethin’). However, this ain’t too bad. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it str8; let’s see what else this got… Hearin’ tha hook and tha voice sounds a lil’ more annoying, based off tha stronger emotion bein’ delivered. I’ono, I’ll have ta see how this one progresses… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s aight. Overall, I thank I’m slightly more annoyed than impressed… My Rating: 2.6


04. Yotsai feat. Taywrk “30mg”
>>> A DJ Swift beat, here; likin’ this title, too… Sounds like a good lil’ gangsta-soundin’ hook, wit tha cockin’ goin’ on. Beat’s on point ta keep these dudes hyped; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ good; gotta be “fulla dat good…!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and dude sound pretty quick wit tha rappin’; good shit. Feelin’ his BR swag, as far as how he raps; good shit. My Rating: 3.8


05. Gang Music “How To Act”
>>> Likin’ this intro/hook; “fulla purp!” Tha beat sounds pretty dope, too, once it kicks in! Sounds like a classic Mouse/Q-Red/B-Real production; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good ta get tha “whole club dumb;” late 2010’s-type BR shit! “I finna hit up Vibes 2night;” I still gotta hit dat bitch up. I went to a coupla places (DJ’s Club Elite, Bella Noche, Tremon’s & a few others) but there’s a few I gotta hit up. Can’t wait fa my shake back! One day, next decade, I guess? Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here… Ain’t expect tha deeper-soundin’ voice; almost doesn’t fit tha energy level? Not bad but luckily, it was only a ½ verse and now, we got anotha member of Gang Music on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse… Comin’ through, bar’d-up! Good shit! My Rating: 4.2


06. Mista Cain feat. T.Y. & Lil’ Soulja Slim “Break Bread”
No title? >>> Sounds a lil’ catchy but shitty wit tha vocals, on tha hook. Guess this one called “Break Bread”? Got a normal-soundin’ Mista on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ like he braggin’, braggin’. “$30,000 in dat bag,” huh? Surprised I ain’t even get a dolla fa all tha great shit I do fa BR, yet, from him; disappointing! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from B.G.’s son and it str8; good lil’ contribution. Now, to anotha son: Soulja Slim’s, on 3rd verse: Soundin’ good wit what he spittin’; “Magnolia to da bone.” Good verses, here, despite tha shitty-soundin’ hook. On anotha note, Mista should “Break Bread” wit me! I been showin’ him luv since May 2009! My Rating: 2.8


07. Rocky Mountainz feat. Jade Delvalle “I Am Dope”
I know this one familiar; an added feature, this time? Needless ta say, I still feel tha same way as I did about this on Vol. 5… Did this new version need a female? It’s cool; it fits tha vibe, so it’s a non-affectin’ bonus. My Current Rating: 3.5


08. GG Records “Outside”
>>> Reppin’ fa da “slimez,” here… Sounds a lil’ annoying wit tha way they sound, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and I’ono if I’m diggin’ this flow. Just sounds like a bunch of lyrics bein’ slammed in yo face… Sometimes, I dig it; I might dig otha songs of theirs, in tha future… Not feelin’ tha voice of tha 2nd verse, neither; gotta ditch tha effects ‘cause it affects! Get it?! Like, what’s goin’ on from 1:48 – 2:00? Lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, lyrics just bein’ shoved atcha! My Rating: 1.4


09. Beezy K “System”
Now wit only one “K”, unless I keep confusin’ this wit tha Beezy KKK; am I confusin’ myself, right nah? >>> Sounds like a YoungBoy flow; good rhymes but nothin’ special to catch on to me… Let’s keep tha YoungBoy-soundin’ music ta other people—oh wait, for tha past 19 years, I’ve been all about tha underrated. Guess I betta stay that way? My Rating: 2.2


10. Flow Gamble “Fuck A Hook”
>>> Sounds like a regular-soundin’ day in tha life of Flow Gamble, here, on tha 1st verse… Tha beat makes it sound more like it’s for tha club, so it’s like a club vs. real-life vibe, here… “If you my nigga, why tha fuck you neva post my shit!” Oh, I feel that line! Produced and had two tracks where dudes rapped on, as well as made music videos to. Not once did I get a retag, post, etc.; no luv shown! Maybe, next time, they should pay me instead of me payin’ them? Definitely feel dat line; tha struggle’s real! Continuin’ on, tha rest of this aight; feelin’ tha aggression…! My Rating: 3.7


11. Kocaine feat. IamPicasso “Gangsta Gangsta”
>>> Sounds good, on tha hook; good lil’ “gangsta”-soundin’ hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s str8… Tha 2nd dude str8, too; a str8 lil’ quick track, here… My Rating: 3.6


12. 225 Slugga “Pop Off”
>>> Hook sounds nice and energetic; luv how it took tha 2nd ½ of tha hook ta let tha energy rise! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and dude sound cool wit tha “dog” parts; throwback-soundin’ rap vibe that I would love! Keepin’ it movin’, dude got tha streetz on lock, here, but fuses tha club vibe very well, as well! Tha 2nd verse sound str8, too. Why he gotta go an auto-tune route, at times, durin’ tha verse? Sounds like it got drowned in tha wrong medicine, smh! My Rating: 3.7


13. Amber Jewelz “Out The Gate”
>>> Sounds like she focused fa tha clubz, here, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and she sounds str8; good shit, I’ll admit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ pretty nice. Not really tha kinda shit I’d embrace too much but I’ll give her her props for me not bashin’ anythang about this track. My Rating: 3.7


½time: Mostly decent tracks, this time, with a coupla misses… A 3.3-rated CD, so far; let’s see how we continue…


14. Self 1st Santana “Po Up”
>>> Not feelin’ this a-tuned voice, on tha hook & beat. Durin’ tha 1st verse, it just sounds like random rappin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and I’m wonderin’ why I’m bein’ bothered…? Ugh, tha mumblin’!! My Rating: 1.1


15. Giovelli “Ex Pills”
Can we recover…? >>> A lil’ too sing-rap-y fa me, on tha hook. It sounds like they took notes from YoungBoy’s flow, smh. Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds okay; nothin’ special; don’t even sound like it goes wit tha title? Odd that he says, “Be real,” so many times, before tha verse ends. It’s like, B-Real all about dem “pillz” but this ain’t on dat level… Tha 2nd verse sounds like it’s startin’ off annoying; what tha hell wit tha noise sound at 2:06? It’s like their interest fell off fa tha rest of this track; really? My Rating: 1.6


16. DAF x WUE “Unusual”
>>> Looks like it’s startin’ ta become a struggle fa me to recover feelin’ this mixtape, right nah… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s more annoying vocals; beat just sounds like a regular-soundin’ beat? What happened to tha Louisiana sound I was used ta hearin’? No comment on tha 1st verse, here; seems so long fa 3:16! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and I don’t have no comment, neither… “I’m in my bag like I’m some groceries;” ugh… Still 1:01 left? Why…? A 3rd verse, here—3rd!! No comment; just so much braggin’! “………walkin’ like Bambi…;” somethin’-somethin’… Like, whaaaaaaaaaaaat…?!? First, we got “groceries!” Now, we get “Bambi?!” My Rating: 1.2


17. 2.0 “Stupid”
>>> A lil’ betta, wit this hook/beat/vibe… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s str8; just a lotta rappin’ that just sounds like random shit? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and my interest goin’ downhill. I’ono, I can’t feel this as much as otha club bangaz on these mixtapes… My Rating: 2.4


18. Miss Portia “It’s Gon Cost You (NOLA Remix)”
Don’t forget that apostrophe in “Its!” >>> Glad “it’s” on a bounce level, here, at least…! An okay-soundin’ remix, here; rememba: I still gotta recover my interest fa this mixtape. Tha singin’ sounds okay; I’d rather that rap that repeats/slams in yo face fa dis bounce shit, tho. Not much after; ehh, guess we gotta move on…? My Rating: 2.9


19. Dame Cain feat. Karter With Tha K “Sit Up”
That’s a funny name fa tha featured artist… >>> A lil’ betta than tha bounce remix I just heard; sounds good wit this hook. Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I ain’t thank this Karter was a chick. Sounds like an okay verse; glad she on a club tip, gettin’ “ratchet wit it.” Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here & Cain soundin’ like he got tha world by tha ballz, here—I mean, club, not world… Sounds good, mainly; I’ll give it props… My Rating: 3.7


20. Beatking feat. Furly “Infruname”
Furly on tha feature; let’s see if we get a bounced-up vibe? >>> Sounds like a good/hyped-up hook, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it cool from Furly; she keep shit on lock, despite it not bein’ a 100% bounce beat. I still like tha sounds goin’ on throughout tha verse; interestin’… Keepin’ it goin’ wit tha Beatking on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit his club-type shit. “Drug you like Cardi B,” huh? Oh, “Cardi…” “I want some head like dreadlocks,” huh? Good shit…! Ugh, that word! “Boujee!” That “J”! I rather shmoke one than see it in “Boujee,” lol! My Rating: 3.8


21.
No #21? Gonna have to not count it… My Rating: N/A


22. Box & Level “Too Much”
I got ta meet Box earlier this year, on February 28 (night of February 27):
Excitin’; he spotted me in da club! Now, let’s see tha excitement, here! >>> Finally, back ta normal!! Sounds great wit Level depectin’ tha “Too Much”-type hook! Can’t have “Too Much” Level! Good shit on tha 1st verse, too, Lev! “Shout out ta Mouse that’s my muthafuckin’ roll dog!” I really wanna link up wit tha both of ‘em (Mouse & Level)! Gotta make it a future opportunity! I have Box’s # so I may have a chance? Next trip? Keepin’ it goin’ wit Box on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit; glad he holdin’ it down as a ‘70s baby in his ‘40s, almost a decade older than me! Gotta keep it movin’! Glad he feels tha vibe! My Rating: 4.4


23. Gutta Soulja “Better Chill”
>>> Dude sounds good on tha hyped-up hook, here, on this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it sounds good, too; gotta luv tha hype! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it cool, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.1


24. Mona Lysa “Boss Shyt”
Got tha “Final” in tha ID, here… >>> Sounds like she got some good, consistent rhymes ta offer fa da club, here? Good lil’ 1st verse; I’m feelin’ her consistency… Feelin’ her “raw” shit, as well as tha hook, toward tha end… My Rating: 4.0


25. Bukk Fastgame feat. Bezo Luciano “Drip”
I rememba seein’ a video of this wit, of course, flashin’ money… >>> Sounds good wit tha “Drip” shit goin’ on, throughout tha hook. Hearin’ tha 1st verse from Fastgame and it sounds good; I’ll give it props, despite bein’ hit by tha “money!” Got Bezo on tha 2nd verse and, of course, he reaches for tha “money” so fast…! Luv how he pulls success outta himself, all tha time. Glad he got that kinda success; glad he luv tha “Drip!” My Rating: 4.1


26.
No #26… My Rating: N/A


27. Symore Banks “UGQ”
>>> Endin’ wit a chick, here… Beat’s basic & her rhymes are ehh; kinda bored, here… Hook sounds like a Z-Ro sample or somethin’… Just ends wit tha long hook. I feel like tha hook’s tha best outta this one but not too much interest, regardless. My Rating: 2.5


Overall: Wow, this was unda an hour? Either way, this might be tha weakest outta tha compilations I reviewed. There were no 4.6+’s and most of tha tracks didn’t really give me a good vibe. Shout out ta Box & Level for makin’ a stellar appearance! Couldn’t imagine what my #1 woulda been if it wasn’t for them! Either way, glad you appreciate my time; hope you appreciate all of it! Hope to review Vol. 2, one day & hopefully, on my next trip down, we’ll link up/I’ll make it down on a club night!

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! 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 #1,809) reviewed on 8.14.2019 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



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 1st ½ of tha 2nd verse but then, tha weird vocals come in toward tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 2nd 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 1st verse and tha flow cool; good shit. Gotta luv tha flow toward tha end of tha 1st verse; good emotion about tha “tabs” and “lean!” Go, “lean!” Tha 2nd verse soundin’ just as good as tha 1st 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 1st edition. Hearin’ tha 1st 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 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st verse and yeah, it’s all about bein’ an “‘80s baby” ‘cause we #80sBabiesInOur30s, as I say! Hearin’ tha 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ str8, too… Got Spit on tha 3rd 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 1st verse and it’s not terrible but I don’t take these vocals serious… More of an organic-soundin’ voice on tha 2nd verse, here; likin’ that beginning part of tha 2nd 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 1st verse and he aight wit tha rhymes. Hearin’ tha 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 3rd 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 1st 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 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, as well; gotta keep it goin’! A 3rd 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 1st 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 2nd 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 1st 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 2nd 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. 70th 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 1st 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 2nd 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 2nd 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 1st verse, too! Gotta have “big” dreams! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and he keepin’ tha energy comin’! Likin’ tha “shmoke” and “throat” lines, back-2-back; good shit! Got a 3rd 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 1st 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 2nd 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…
