R.I.P. Video #79: Rambo K Kutta



Recorded April 7, 2021

Broadcasting from tha steel mill, here in East Stroudsburg, PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.

Rayfel Matta, Jr., known by his stage name, Rambo & later, Rambo K Kutta, was murdered in Baton Rouge, LA, on tha 5500 block of McClelland Drive on Saturday, April 3, 2021, at around 6:00 PM; he was only 34 years-old. Matta was movin' around toward a convenience store's front entrance when a gunshot struck him. Twelve dayz later, on April 15th, a 16 & 17-year-old teen were arrested by tha Louisiana State Police Task Force, as well as tha Attorney General Fugitive Apprehension. Tha teens were later booked into Juvenile Detention, where they were charged with both second-degree murder & illegally using a weapon.

Matta was born on August 21, 1986, representin' tha '80s Babies in Our 30's click; Matta was a native of Baton Rouge, LA. Matta caught tha attention of Black Balloon Baton Rouger, Ray Vicks; Matta started his rap career off by goin' by just "Rambo", collaboratin' with Vicks on his 2010 release, 36 Os Later. Matta kept his reputation in tha streets goin' from Baton Rouge & even throughout other coasts, collaboratin' with Baton Rouge's then-Lil' Boosie, Cain Muzik Mafia & Zoe Realla. Durin' 2016, DJ Killa Touch & Kool DJ Supamike hosted his Squirm G-collaborated Drugs-N-Jewelz mixtape, as Matta continued to put that Black Balloon on. Matta kept tha underground streetz on lock until Saturday, April 3, 2021, where he was gunned down outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge, LA. Had Matta lived to see this year's August 21st, he woulda turned 35 years-old.

Review #1,724: Ray Vicks "Figgaz"

Reviewed on 5.14.2017 (Review #1,724)


Keepin’ these reviewz goin’ with Black Balloon Global’s Ray Vicks Figgaz, a disc Ray gave to me when I met him in Baton Rouge, back on March 28, 2017! I know he got a newer disc out now, but I gon just get inta this one, right now… Start Time: 6:57 PM | End Time: 7:20 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!


© 2017 CD Review (Review #1,724) reviewed on 5.14.2017 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

Link To CD: N/A


01. “Brang The Pain”
Let’s “brang” it!! >>> Sounds like a nice way ta introduce yourself ta come home, ya dig? Hearin’ tha beat and it’s pretty nice fa tha streetz, here, includin’ how you comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like tha next celeb ta be bigger from Louisiana… My Rating: 3.7


02. “Figgaz” feat. Jadakiss
Let’s see this collab! >>> Diggin’ tha “gettin’ a half ounce fa 600” shit; definitely a nice intro and beat… Ugh!! Had ta ruin it wit tha gay-ass a-tune bullshit on tha hook? No need for a voice effect; just sounds like a regular song that everyone can make, these dayz… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s ehh…; guess mainstream features boosts your ego? Just stick to tha undaground music! Well, at least Jada has a normal voice, here… If you had this approach, sound & vibe like Jada, it would be a pretty dope track and I prolly wouldn’t mind tha typical-soundin’ beat… So, to Jada, I give you props fa holdin’ this shit down… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from you and it don’t sound as bad as tha 1st verse… My Rating: 2.4


03. “Tell Me Why” feat. Peewee Longway
Let’s see this one… >>> Beat sounds like tha last one… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds decent; can’t complain… And, we got tha 1st verse, soundin’ like anotha trap anthem, here; good shit… Kinda sounds off-beat around 1:14? I give Longway a 50/50… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s not bad, here; just anotha trap anthem that’s nothin’ special… We have 1:26 remaining and it’s a beat outro? Tha long, unexpect—oh, anotha hook… My Rating: 3.0


½time: Only a 3.0-rated CD, so far… I respect tha trap but it gets old when err-thang on tha radio sounds like a Future track…


04. “Yola” feat. Gucci Mane
Will this work? >>> An online beat? I’ono how much I can appreciate this… Lots of numbaz on tha hook, here… Outta this and tha previous two tracks, I’d have to say that I might like this one tha best… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice wit what you bringin’, here; feelin’ tha aggression… And, we got Gucci on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ good, at least… Glad it ain’t a boring or typical-soundin’ verse, here… My Rating: 3.8


05. “Can’t Trust Ya”
>>> Not sure of tha producer on tha ID, here… Tha hook straight, as well as this beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice, here; can’t complain… Sounds like a catchier flow than previous tracks, here; good shit… Tha rest iz pretty good, too; good shit wit this one… My Rating: 3.9


06. “Still Dumb” feat. Reek, Stebo Boski & BTY Youngin
Looks like this gon be some Baton Rouge quality, here… >>> Feelin’ tha energetic beat, as well as all these features I don’t know! Definitely a nice hook; jammin’ shit to tha fullest! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice, strictly, consistently holdin’ shit down! Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it decent… I’ono, sometimes, some of tha lyrics kinda throw me off but tha vibe keeps this movin’… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s pretty energetic, too; good shit! My Rating: 4.0


Overall: A good portion of this sounded mainstream-like but it wasn’t too bad… It started to get betta toward tha 2nd ½, at least…


Rankings:

06.       “Figgaz” feat. Jadakiss 2.4

FTLD'z Louisiana Trip #01: 3.26.2017 - 3.29.2017 (Video)



FrankieThaLuckyDog & Lucky Dogz Entertainment Presents FTLD'z Louisiana Trip #01: 3.26.2017 - 3.29.2017.

Since October 11, 2007, Frankie has been fascinated with underground, Louisiana rap music. All his life, he has always wanted to go down to Louisiana and meet up with everyone. Finally, starting on March 26, 2017, his dream came true! Take a look at who and what Frankie encountered over his four dayz in Louisiana:

Day 1: March 26, 2017:
Frankie & his grandma, Grandma Down the Block, arrive in New Orleans, LA at 6:23 PM, rents his first car & his first hotel. Frankie gets his first drive through I-10 and iz amazed at tha scenery. Frankie then pulls up to tha Hookah Lounge in Baton Rouge, going to tha club for tha first time. He meets up with rappers YB (Dirty Dinero Band Camp), Razy Ray (Dirty Dinero Band Camp), A.R. (In Your Earhole Productions), FY JR (Forever Young Entertainment) & Wolfe, as well as manager, Big Steve (formerly of Millionaire Minds Entertainment).


Day 2: March 27, 2017:
Frankie & his grandma take a trip to DJ/promoter, 3 Way Street Radio's Way 3000's house. They encounter Korey, who's with Travis James Entertainment. Way 3000 shows Korey an award he won on Frankie's 3rd Annual Louisiana Awards of 2010. They then head to Way's old store off Gus Young Avenue, they meet up with Dog Entertainment & Cash Out Entertainment's Tech (Mr. Throw Me Back), Po Boy Express to meet up with Macked Out Music's Big Supa & then, they head to DJ Greg Dukes' studio. As they're chillin' outside with song ideas and ways to encounter different weather, they head into tha studio to meet up with SLF EMP Music Group's Max Minelli, No Limit Forever Records & OJ Entertainment's Sam I Am, Dirty South Productions' Mista Matt (South Coast Coalition) & Koo Shot Ya (as well as Highlife Entertainment producer La'Keith, who made a quick appearance). While there, Frankie signs Greg Dukes wall and even gets interviewed by him on camera.

As they continue to drive around, they are stopped by a moving train for at least 10 minutes. Then, after they get a bite to eat at tha catfish store and shop for new clothes, Frankie & grandma head back to tha hotel to recharge. As Frankie doesn't hear from anyone, Frankie randomly falls asleep. Then, New Go Get It Music & Boss Made Music Group rapper, Beezy Bird, meets him outside tha hotel.


Day 3: March 28, 2017:
Frankie & his grandma head back to meet up with Way 3000. Frankie asks Way 3000 about where to find a voodoo doll at, courtesy of Frankie's manager. They drop his grandma off at tha Mall of Louisiana as they head their separate ways, for tha day. Way 3000 takes Frankie down late rappers Racked-Up Ready & Lil' Handy's old neighborhoods. They then pull up to Sundown to meet up with Jungle Muzik Mafia rapper, MFWeeThang, walkin' around tha area.

As Frankie iz shopping for more clothes and on tha hunt for a Baton Rouge hat, him and Way encounter Black Balloon Global rappers, Ray Vicks & Steve O, in tha parking lot of one of tha urban shops. They then meet up at tha barbershop, doin' a drop for Frankie. They continue to go to late rapper, Dope Celebrity Records' Nu$$ie's old block, featuring Nu$$ie's DCF building and passing Nu$$ie's old house. In tha mist of gettin' ready for tha next siting, Frankie encounters one of rapper Quick's connects for a drop. Then, they head to tha Triple S gas station where CD seller, Alton Sterling was killed at.

As Frankie drops Way 3000 off and rides solo, he meets up with Big Faces Entertainment rapper, Lil' Boxx & then, Legal Dope Records producer, Dre Tree Z. Frankie then hops in tha car with Dre Tree Z to head to Morganza to meet up with Legal Dope Records rapper, P.I.R., a rapper who gets a hold of Frankie every day. On tha way there, Frankie smells somethin' unique: a paper plane, as they cross tha bridge to Morganza. P.I.R. iz starstruck by Frankie and appreciates him to tha max.


Day 4: March 29, 2017:
Frankie & his grandma head to New Orleans to find a voodoo doll and meet up with Gangsta Gumbo DJ/promoter, Jimmy the DJ, tha dude who started Frankie's Louisiana connection on October 11, 2007. They meet up in tha VooDoo Mart and get tha voodoo doll.


Tha trip was a huge success for Frankie, overall, and plans on having more trips in tha future. He expects to meet up with everyone he's fucked with in Louisiana...

A Louisianaful Easter (2017)



Me doin' a lil' somethin' dedicated to my peeps in Louisiana fa Easter, 2017. This iz mainly dedicated to those I met in Louisiana during my March 26 - 29, 2017 trip...

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

FTLD'z Louisiana Trip #01: 3.26.2017 - 3.29.2017

FTLD’z Louisiana Trip #01: 3.26.2017 – 3.29.2017


Since October 11, 2007, I’ve had a fascination with underground, Louisiana rap music, mainly from Baton Rouge. I’ve always wanted to go to Louisiana and meet up wit err-body, but certain obstacles would be in my way. I would continuously ask family members, “Go to Louisiana with me!” They would look at me all judgmental and say, “What’s in Louisiana? It’s dangerous!” In 2010, I tried to go with an underground rapper’s sidekick & he was like, “I’m not going unless you pay for me! My artist’s way bigger than all of them!” That pissed me off and put me in jeopardy of finding some1 to go with ‘cause bein’ autistic, it ain’t easy makin’ friends…


One person I always wanted to go with was my grandma, who has heard damn-near every story I had with Louisiana (getting robbed on November 17, 2011, my radio show, talking to this one, etc.). During my Louisiana connection, she would always have to take care of her mom. On September 19, 2015, her mom passed away & now, she wasn’t trapped with taking care of some1. However, since Baton Rouge producer/rapper, DJ B-Real blocked me on February 5, 2014, I now have a full-time job, working six dayz a week & it’s hard to find coverage.


On January 27, 2017, I opened up to my manager about finally making my debut to Louisiana. She was cool with it & I was able to get tha coverage. I let my grandma know that we can finally make this happen. I chose March 26, 2017 as my debut-in-Louisiana day. March 26 iz my manager’s birthday & she has pushed me into making some interesting, risky, unique decisions. As each day progressed, my anxiety & excitement were both building up, while tryna handle a tough job… I couldn’t believe my dream was finally comin’ true!


On March 25, I flew to Coconut Creek, FL, to meet up with my grandma. However, when I got off my plane at 6:23 PM, my luggage got lost in Charlotte, NC, jeopardizin’ my trip… My flight was scheduled for 6:35 AM tha next day & I ain’t have my luggage. Tha following morning, we had a cab ride scheduled for 4:30 AM… A lack of communication made our cab arrive at 5:22 AM! When we arrived at tha airport, my grandma lost her phone… While lookin’ for tha phone, we missed tha flight; it was rescheduled for 1:35 PM. Her phone wound up bein’ in her car but at this point, will I finally make it to Louisiana? At around 10 AM, American Airlines called us, lettin’ us know that they found my luggage. We got tha luggage and we were finally on our way to Louisiana!


Day 1 in Louisiana: 3.26.2017: At 6:23 PM, I arrived in New Orleans, LA, renting my 1st car & hotel. As I drove an hour to my hotel in Baton Rouge, I’m lookin’ at tha scenery and I’m really impressed with how it looked like a cool jungle. I stayed at tha Hotel Indigo Baton Rouge Downtown hotel and began to hit up peeps that I was in town… Baton Rouge rapper, YB, from tha Forever Young
click, told me to meet him at tha Hookah Lounge nearby; he was performing. I’ve been at bars before, but this was tha 1st time I was at a club… Everything was nice, as I chilled with YB. I showed him birthday luv & got him a hookah to enjoy… We was also kickin’ it wit one of his patnaz, Baton Rouge rapper, Razy Ray. We got pics, drops & watched tha performances happen. One rapper who performed, Baton Rouge rapper, A.R. (Problem Child Entertainment), I had known since 2009.
I approached him when he was done and I was like, “It’s FrankieThaLuckyDog!” He was excited and said, “You been fuckin’ wit me since I was a teenager!” Crazy to know that I was only 20 & he was 18 when I first heard of him, back on Baton Rouge producer/rapper, Beat Flippa’s Street Certified CD on October 16, 2008. He was sellin’ me a CD & I showed him luv by givin’ him $5.00 for tha CD. As I waited for YB to perform, I also ran into Baton Rouge rapper, J.R., from tha Forever Young click & Big Steve, who was Baton Rouge rapper, BluBlack’s old manager. As YB performed, he was like, “I’m sellin’ my new CD fa a dolla…” I was like, “I know you gave me tha CD for free, but you deserve tha dollar! Neva give up! Tha rap game needs you! I need you to continue!!” As I left tha Hookah Lounge, I ran into one more dude, Wolfe, who I ain’t know… He gave me a CD & I have yet to see how he iz…


Day 2 in Louisiana: 3.27.2017: Tha next morning, Gram & I headed to tha Waffle House on College Road in Baton Rouge. After that, during tha 10 AM hour, we hooked up with Baton Rouge DJ/promoter, Way 3000. Way was so happy to see me that when his patna, Corey, affiliated with Baton Rouge labelhead, Travis James, stopped by, Way showed him an award he won from me on my 2010 Louisiana Awards for Louisiana CD Cover Of Tha Year for his Jigg City Rockstars 3(Hosted by Way 3000) mixtape compilation. Way then hopped in tha car & we hit up his old store, located on Gus Young Avenue. He was then gettin’ a hold of artists to try and meet up wit me for my documentary on Louisiana that I was shootin’. We met up wit Baton Rouge rapper, Tech, a.k.a. Mr. Throw Me Back (Dog Entertainment/Cash Out Entertainment) & brought him along for tha ride… They also showed me that tha jiggaz in Baton Rouge no longer have X in ‘em; they have meth in ‘em!


As we continued to drive around BR, we met up wit Baton Rouge rapper, Big Supa (Macked Out Music), formerly of tha Baton Rouge group, Down Bad. We took pics & took one of my favorite pics with Way… We then took a trip to Baton Rouge DJ, Greg Dukes’ studio… As we waited a lil’ while, Dukes & a group of rappers were excited to know that I was in town… Inside tha studio was Baton Rouge rappers Max Minelli (SLF EMP Music Group), Sam I Am (No Limit Forever Records/OJ Entertainment) & Mista Matt of South Coast Coalition (Dirty South Productions). Baton Rouge photographer, Koo Shot Ya, was also present, shootin’ an interview wit Sam I Am. Once tha interview was done, I signed Greg’s wall of signatures. Greg came up with tha idea to get an interview from me, so I told him how dedicated I’ve been for Baton Rouge rap over tha past 10 years. Despite not gettin’ a pic, Baton Rouge producer/rapper, La’Keith (Highlife Entertainment), made an appearance in tha studio, too.


After tha studio session, we headed to Hana’s to check out some new clothes. Tha clothes were pretty dope there, buildin’ my collection. Then, as we were headin’ back to Way’s house, a train was coming. My gram & I ain’t realize how long tha train in Baton Rougetook to cross; lots on one train! After tha train action, I randomly fell asleep, though tryin’ to hit up people in between. Some would answer but none would confirm a time/place to meet. I then finally got a hold of Baton Rouge rapper, Beezy Bird (New Go Get It Music/Boss Made Music Group) & got a pic/drop from him… After Beezy Bird, I wound up meetin’ back up wit Way 3000 at his house for an hour or so & that was that.



Day 3 in Louisiana: 3.28.2017: Tha next day, I went to tha Waffle House & met up with Way 3000 again. This time, he showed me around various hoods, such as Zion City & we went to Sundown, a CD store in Baton Rouge. At Sundown, I met up wit some new rappers from Baton Rouge, includin’ Jungle Muzik Mafia’s MFWeeThang. I filmed them showin’ they ass off, while I copped a Go Tuff mixtape.

After Sundown, we were gas station-hoppin’ for a Baton Rouge/225 hat. Lil’ did I know, it’s a custom-made hat, so most places ain’t have it. As we pulled up to OMO Streets Wear in Baton Rouge, we seen Baton Rouge rapper, Ray Vicks (Black Balloon Records), pull out. We were told to meet him at tha barbershop, so after I bought more clothes, I went to tha barbershop to meet up wit him. He & his boy showed me luv, gave me a CD & it was nice to encounter him. After Ray Vicks, we headed to tha late Baton Rouge rapper, Nu$$ie’s label building, Dope Celebrity Records. I got pics & we passed Nu$$ie’s house, too.

To go with tha legends, we then headed to tha Triple S gas station, where Baton Rouge CD seller, Alton Sterling, was murdered. As I pulled my camera out, err-body at Triple S thought I was with MTV ‘cause I come from New York. I respected tha compliment & took a few more shots…


Once I headed back to tha hotel & ate dinner, I headed to Sherwood to holla at my boy, Baton Rouge rapper, Lil’ Boxx (Big Faces Entertainment). Me tellin’ him about tha passing of my brother & how I’ve evolved really moved him and he really respects how I’m a “consistent, undefeatable savage,” as I say.


After Boxx, I headed back to tha hotel to meet up with Simmesport, LA producer, Dre Tree Z (Legal Dope Records), who produces for Morganza, LA rapper, P.I.R. (Legal Dope Records). After we met up, he gave me a ride all tha way to Morganza to meet up with P.I.R. & it was nice.
P.I.R. was starstruck to finally meet me, after bein’ connected with me for six years. P.I.R.’s one of tha most-dedicated people I’ve dealt with, as he texts me every day to see what’s good. Once we met up, Dre Tree Z dropped me off at tha hotel. Interesting enough, we smelt a paper plane as we were passin’ tha Audubon Bridge to P.I.R.’s house. To wrap up tha night, I headed back to Way 3000’s crib; he gave me a few CDs. After nearly fallin’ asleep on his chair, I headed back to tha hotel…


Day 4 in Louisiana: 3.29.2017: Our final day in Louisiana featured my gram & I headin’ to New Orleans to see Bourbon Street. I picked up a voodoo doll for my manager, by request, as well as a shirt for one of my favorite co-workers. Then, in tha Voodoo Mart, I met up with Kenner, LA DJ, Jimmy The DJ & I gave him an update on myself. Jimmy’s tha one that started my Louisiana connection & it was nice to finally meet him. After we met him, we headed to Coconut Creek, FL, via car, to kick off tha 2nd ½ of my vacation…






My advice to anyone trying to achieve whatever dream they wanna accomplish: It’s gonna take a while! Years—well, a decade for me!! No matter if you’re tha opposite race as most of tha entire culture you’re passionate about, you ARE accepted! Just know that you have somethin’ in common: tha passion for what y’all love!! It sux that I lost a brother along tha way but that just made me fearless! You’re gonna run into a lotta obstacles along tha way! Don’t give up!! You’re gonna have to spend thousands!! Spend thousands of dayz, hours, etc. just to build your reputation! Here I am, 1,700 CD reviewz later, finally accomplishing my dream of makin’ it to Louisiana! I did it!! And, I’m autistic! I defeated every barrier that was in my way and I’m happier than ever!! You can accomplish your dream! Mine came true at 28 years-old! Now, all I have to do iz get DJ B-Real to unblock me and reconnect with me & I’ll be all complete!

Review #1,601: Nino "All Eyes On Me"

Reviewed on 11.30.2016 (Review #1,601)


Gettin’ some more reviewz outta my way… Forgot how I found out about this one but straight outta Small Circle Kartel Entertainment, it’s Nino All Eyes On Me, released back three years ago, in 2013! Start Time: 4:49 PM | End Time: 6:11 PM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

© 2016 CD Review (Review #1,601) reviewed on 11.30.2016 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.

An intro with 4:21 on tha length? >>> Sounds pretty good with your intro, this beat, and how you sound like Spitta on tha verse, here…; dope… My Rating: 3.8


02. “Pay Attention” feat. Geeno
>>> G-Motivation beat; nice lil’ soundin’ beat, here… Tha beat’s a spin-off of Slick Rick’s “Children Story”, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ jammin’, like it was a West Coast anthem; dope shit! I like how you “addicted ta shmokin’ weed.” Gotta luv it, even tho I feel like I’m not “addicted” to it. Example: Today, I’m just gettin’ reviewz done… Tha 2nd verse’s nice with tha “got me a plug for dat weed,” when it came to you bein’ “15;” nice! My Rating: 4.3


03. “Life Of A Thug Nigga” feat. Ray Vicks
>>> Sounds like a nice lil’ street anthem; dope shit! Simple but pure hook with that beat! Tha 1st verse pretty nice, here; good shit… Hearin’ you on tha 2nd verse and you consistently keepin’ it goin’, here; nice! Did I miss Ray Vicks or did y’all sound alike? Weird… My Rating: 3.7


04. “Outchea”
>>> Sounds like an excellent production, here! Gotta luv tha trombone! Shit sounds nice on tha hook, between bein’ “off tha porch” and bein’ “outchea!” Tha 1st verse’s pretty nice wit how you comin’ through wit it… I expect, like, some hi-hats or somethin’ in tha beat, here, but there’s none… It kinda missin’ an extra spice in tha beat… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, too, lettin’ it be known what be goin’ down… My Rating: 4.3


05. “Misunderstood”
>>> Comin’ through wit Big Wayne doin’ tha beat! Sounds good; can’t say much else about tha production… Baton Rouge at its finest! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s soundin’ nice wit how you keep tellin’ ‘em how they be havin’ shit “misunderstood;” dope shit! Tha 1st verse’s pretty nice wit how you comin’ through wit this gangsta shit! Tha 2nd verse’s good, as you keepin’ it G, here… My Rating: 4.2


06. “Don’t Need”
>>> Soundin’ like a catchier beat, here; definitely feelin’ those keys! Tha hook’s pretty nice; true shit about “friends turn into enemies!” Hearin’ tha 1st verse and you soundin’ good… As long as you spittin’ rhymes, you a celeb ta me—well, a celeb in tha makin’! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and you keepin’ it goin’ wit err-thang goin’ on, here… My Rating: 4.0


07. “Rather Be With You”
>>> This beat’s nice, too; gotta get used to tha background vocal sample, tho, on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it ain’t too bad, here… I’ont think I gon feel this one like some of tha other shit on here, but it ain’t too bad… Tha one good thing about it iz that tha beat’s nice and it’s not too long (3:00’s nice)… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ good, too… My Rating: 3.6


08. “‘Bout That Life”
>>> Ain’t catch tha producer on tha beat but it’s anotha one of those quality-soundin’ beats from tha 225! Sounds like a good street anthem with that Spitta-like flow/sound, here! Nice, includin’ tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ catchy with these barbequin’ rhymes! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ decent, too; gotta keep it movin’… My Rating: 3.8


½time: Nice job with this CD, so far! Great production and you bringin’ a good set of tracks, here! 4.0 fa tha CD rating, currently…


09. “Go Wit Yo Move” feat. Roota & Blvd Jay
I think this gon be good/tha best one on here? >>> Definitely feelin’ tha intense beat intro!! Lol, I luv how I predicted this ta be my favorite track and it only has to get at least a 4.4 to be my top-rated, so far! Definitely feelin’ tha energy on tha hook and tha beat! Definitely top-notch shit!! These types of jiggin’/hyped-up tracks neva get old!! Tha 1st verse’s pretty nice; gotta luv this! It’s all about partyin’ at all times!! Fuck those goin’ ta sleep early!! Tha 2nd verse’s pretty energetic and aggressive wit tha delivery, here! Sounds like tha volume went up in tha voice! Gotta luv tha upbeat vibes!! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice, too! A Small “Circle” Kartel representation, here! I luv how it ended kinda strange, too, quickly… My Rating: 4.6


10. “Heaven Or Hell”
>>> Should I have guessed it was gon be this track with Guordan Banks and ‘em? Kinda a shitty way to follow up that energetic track… *Yawns…* Ugh! A whole 5:44? Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice wit how you comin’ through wit this energy, deliverin’ tha aggressive shit… Tha 2nd verse soundin’ nice, too, comin’ through nicely wit it… My Rating: 3.7


11. “Do 4 Love” feat. JPP3
>>> We’re goin’ downhill wit this CD? Not too crazy about tha singin’ or tha jacked-soundin’ beat, here… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it aight… Tha 2nd verse straight, too, but not my kinda vibe, here… My Rating: 3.3


12. “Goin’ In” feat. Doe Boy
A throwback feature, here (well, at tha time of this release, it would’ve been not too long ago), with this Short Bus Boy! >>> Sounds so much betta on tha start, here! Ken on tha beat? Just takin’ a guess from what I might’ve heard in tha background… Let’s just say it was a guess… Tha hook sounds nice with tha “retarded” shit and even tho this sounds nice, I feel like it’s lackin’ energy? Hearin’ tha 1st verse and tha beat continues ta stay interesting wit you holdin’ shit down… Keepin’ it goin’ wit Doe Boy on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ nice on this track! Glad ta hear from him again! Then again, this don’t sound like tha same Doe Boy, to be honest… I’ll have to do research when I can! And, almost thought tha track ended but tha beat shall continue! My Rating: 4.3


13. “Them Days” feat. Kevin Gates
Let’s see… >>> Not feelin’ how it starts with a Monica sample in tha beginning, but it’s soundin’ nice with this production… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice ta hear… And, Gates on tha 2nd verse, here, doin’ his thang wit his braggin’-soundin’ rhymes… My Rating: 4.3


14. “Jump” feat. Dat Boy A, Foxx & JPP3
What a lineup! >>> Here’s some energy, here! Definitely feelin’ tha energetic beat, as well as A holdin’ down tha hook! All about tha jumpin’!! Got you on tha 1st verse, rattlin’ dem rhymes off!! “Fresher than a pack of swishers!” And, Foxx on tha 2nd verse, providin’ as much energy as A, here! Gotta luv it at all times!! And, that JPP3 dude on tha 3rd verse, here… I almost thought he was a singer on one of them tracks I ain’t feel too much, but I guess he rappin’… It’s decent rappin’; he just a filler, basically… Nothin’ negative, tho nothin’ exciting… My Rating: 4.6


15. “Tell You This”
”You”, not “Yo”? >>> Yeah, I’d say, “You”; even says it in my iTunes… Sounds like one of them country rap tunes, like, tha today’s version of it on tha beat… Hearin’ tha hook and it decent; nothin’ special wit this title… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it aight, too… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it iz what it iz, holdin’ it down… My Rating: 3.3


16. “Dumb Ova Here” feat. Doe Boy
Likin’ tha feature again! >>> Sounds like anotha energetic vibe! It might even be more energetic than tha previous Doe Boy collab! Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s soundin’ nice wit how you deliverin’ this street shit… Tha hook’s simple and plain; gotta luv tha hyped-up vibe! That’s all I know! “Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb! I’m throwed off!” And, that Doe Boy on tha 2nd verse, here, soundin’ like Young Gregory with tha voice, this time… Definitely feelin’ tha club/hood shit he bringin’ to tha table; gotta luv it! My Rating: 4.2


17. “Street Muzik” feat. Roota & Donkey
Yeah…! >>> Sounds good in tha beginning, here; nice hook… Hearin’ tha 1st—oh, looka! Features! Not listed on tha back cover! Good thing I noticed ‘em and heard tha 1st verse, here! Shit’s definitely nice on tha 1st verse, wit dat aggression!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too; can’t complain… Great job wit this collab, too; dumb shit! My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Sounded like a nice CD, here; props ta SCK! Hope you keep it movin’! I know you already are!

Review #1,469: Dead Game Records "I-10 To I-95 Connection (Hosted by Bigga Rankin)"

Reviewed on 6.29.2015 (Review #1,469)


Stumbled across a bunch of music, recently, mainly from last year. I’ono when I’ll get tha time to review everything, but I’m expected to do four reviewz today, and if I have time tomorrow. This first one’s Dead Game Records I-10 To I-95 Connection (Hosted by Bigga Rankin), sponsored by Dead Game Records. This compilation for Dead Game Records consists of Racked-Up Ready, Lil’ One The Champ & Malachi X; let’s see what we got, here… Start Time: 10:04 AM | End Time: 11:08 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!

© 2015 CD Review (Review #1,469) reviewed on 6.29.2015 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.



01. Bigga Rankin, Lil’ One The Champ, Racked-Up Ready & Malachi “Intro”
Hmm… >>> Nice beat; mixin’ up tha talkin’ with tha Malachi background vocals… Here’s tha 1st verse (Lil’ One The Champ), soundin’ nice with tha consistent rhymes; I’m likin’ tha “traffic” line… Catchy shit from Ready on tha 2nd verse, here, as gangsta as he can always be… Feelin’ tha street rhymes ova this beat, as always. Beat tag revealed: J.Scalez? My Rating: 4.3


02. Racked-Up Ready, Lil’ One The Champ & Malachi “All I Know”
Hmm, again… >>> Likin’ this hook and beat; nice singin’, Malachi! Good shit from Ready on tha 1st verse, here; can’t complain… However, why Malachi trippin’ about dyin’ as “a broke nigga?” Who needs money, anyway? Speakin’ of, yawn, Lil’ One on tha 2nd verse; kinda cocky for me to appreciate… It’s like, “20x” harder chance to get a hold of me? How ‘bout dat one? My Rating: 4.2


03. Malachi feat. Racked-Up Ready & Lil’ One The Champ “Send My Bitch”
! >>> An okay hook with an okay beat, here… Hearin’ Ready on tha 1st verse and I’m definitely feelin’ tha “loud” that “you could smell;” yeah! Could really use some now; nobody around up here in PA, smh! So, I gotta sit in tha house and do reviewz all day, on my only day off, smh! Not diggin’ this 2nd verse at all with all this “money” shit; enough, already, smh! Bad job, Malachi; “money” ain’t tha end of tha world!! Now, we got Lil’ One on tha 3rd verse, comin’ through in a decent wa—no, not “money, we throw it;” can you come up with somethin’ else?!? You don’t see me braggin’ and bitchin’ about “money,” unless it’s one song about me gettin’ robbed! My Rating: 3.5


04. Racked-Up Ready feat. Lee Banks & Madd Marvin “Turnt Up”
My Current Rating: 4.5


05. Racked-Up Ready “Dopeman Bitch”
My Current Rating: 4.3


06. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Mouse On Tha Track “Mz. Katrina”
Makes me think of Karina, a hot chick that used to work at my job, when I see any name starting with “K” and ending with an “A,” lol. >>> Sounds like it could be catchy, here… “So-so-soakin’ wet?” More like dry for how this track sounds fa me, so far… Tha hook ain’t really catch my attention and now, we got Lil’ One on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit decent rhymes. I’ono, I’ont think I can feel this pussy-dedicated song… Rhymes sound really random… Anotha verse from Lil’ One, here; guess no Mouse verse? It sounds random, once again; too fast with tha rappin’! Could’ve really used a Mouse verse, but this hook sounds better on tha vocals, but still ehh… My Rating: 2.7


07. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Racked-Up Ready “Bottles”
>>> Better beat, though still plain… Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it was okay ‘til Lil’ One keeps on braggin’ about his “bank roll,” smh! Tha hook’s a lil’ catchy with this title part repeatin’, but for tha most part, anyone could come up wit this! Got Ready on tha 2nd verse and it’s on tha cocky side; God forbid he don’t get a “bitch,” smh… Just like tha last song, I wasn’t really into this one that much… My Rating: 2.9


08. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Malachi “‘Bout My Cake”
Next… >>> G-Motive beat. Kinda not anticipatin’ this track, due to tha “cake” topic… Kinda like Malachi on tha hook, but I think tha content throws me off… Here comes Lil’ One on tha 1st verse… These rhymes can be pretty nice to hear, as they’re pretty consistent, but I just can’t take this shit serious. My Rating: 3.0


½time: More like a decent CD; kinda can’t fuck wit some of this shit, though, and tha rest iz decent… A 3.7-rated CD, currently.


09. Racked-Up Ready feat. Mista Cain & DJ B-Real “Get Ya Mind Right”
Time to quote my manager… … “REALLY?!?” My Current Rating: 4.9


10. Racked-Up Ready feat. G Nate “Bullshit”
My Current Rating: 3.9


11. Lil’ One The Champ & Racked-Up Ready “Thousand Bands”
Not anotha money song! >>> Beat’s your typical-soundin’ mainstream music from tha south… Regular rhymes from Lil’ One on tha 1st verse, here, but I don’t like tha cocky shit… God forbid anyone sucks at one time! You already know I’ve sucked 1234723402843204732048324023847x in my life! Tha hook’s such bullshit; not for me at all! God forbid anyone’s fuckin’ broke!! And, didn’t need this to be stirred even further with Ready on tha 2nd verse… My Rating: 1.3


12. Racked-Up Ready & Malachi “Can’t Get Mad”
>>> J.Scalez on tha beat… Nice beat, here, and tha hook’s pretty nice… Hearin’ Ready on tha only verse and it’s pretty great to hear. A nice, slow flow to dig… My Rating: 4.2


13. Lil’ One The Champ feat. Malachi “Still Alive”
>>> Not really my style (“struggle rap,” as I call it)… Beat’s kinda sad-soundin’ with a street vibe and Lil’ One sounds like he’s goin’ through a struggle… I know I may be criticizin’ this, but what kinda song will I come up with for my late brother? As for tha hook, it almost sounded catchy but it sounds like Malachi has a lil’ bit of dick in his mouth, a.k.a. some auto-tune, smh! “My daughter…,” as Lil’ One explains on tha 2nd verse. Like, not a virgin? Why? Why rush things? People that are Gs should just wait! Focus on tha career, first, before tha kids become distracting in life! That’s what I’ve been doin’ my whole life; take notes! My Rating: 2.6


14. Racked-Up Ready & Malachi “Everything Up”
>>> Typical-soundin’ beat; definitely not diggin’ this hook by Malachi! Yuck! No “money” shit and auto-tune to create a bad mix! Hearin’ Ready on tha 1st verse and this iz totally not for me, at all! Can’t fuck wit all this “money” shit at all; too much of an obsession!! Really not diggin’ Malachi’s verse on tha 2nd verse, too, but I do like tha, “Shit, shit, shit, shit,” line, lol. My Rating: 1.6


15. Lil’ One The Champ “Watch What I Do”
>>> Almost sounds like a nice reggae beat start, here… A “bands” start to tha 1st verse? Nooooooooooo, don’t ruin this potentially-nice track! More rhymes comin’ outta this 1st verse and it’s soundin’ pretty nice. My God, how many times he gotta mention “bands” and bein’ “broke,” smh?! My interest continues to go down… Even got a good-soundin’ hook, but I’ono how much this money shit gon ruin tha rating… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s a lot more catchier with tha title part repeatin’… Enough with tha “my bank roll iz my trophy” shit! See, back in tha day, it would be like, “I’m lyrical.” Now, I could give a FUCK what anyone iz when they mention “money” in EVERY FUCKIN’ SONG THEY MAKE!!! Overall, a mixed review, here… My Rating: 3.7


16. Racked-Up Ready feat. Ray Vicks & Lil’ One The Champ “Rubberbands”
Neva heard Lil’ One on this one… >>> Still sounds nice, even though all this money shit gets in my way… Let’s just pretend this iz from before DJ B-Real couldn’t pay me back and I’ll be fine! Well, more like decent in my book… As far as Lil’ One appearin’ on this, it’s straight… My Rating: 4.0


17. Lil’ One The Champ “They Don’t Like Me”
>>> Sounds like that hot Baton Rouge-type music ta end this off. However, will it be completely ruined by money rhymes? We shall see… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s Lil’ One attemptin’ a club banga… To me, it sounds decent; it don’t really fit him that much. Like, I’d rather it be more lyrical, but on a beat like this. Hearin’ tha hook and “I know that” this hook sounds like me, these dayz! Like, all these Louisiana boyz can’t handle me wit a job, gettin’ high, hangin’ out, travelin’ & more! They’re used to tha 21-year-old Frankie who would just sit in his room, waiting for a Louisiana rapper to call, ROFL!!! Anyway, on to tha 2nd verse, here… Kinda random with tha lyrics, but it still sounds nice ova this beat… My Rating: 4.1


18. Bigga Rankin “Outro”
… >>> Thanx for tha info, Rankin… My Rating: N/A


Overall: A decent effort, here; tha label was way better with Kevin Gates around it, but life must go on… My only wish iz for err-body to stick to their hood with content and all that; not everything has to be about money!!
