Oh
boy…; I’m makin’ an effort into gettin’ some more reviewz done. On June 10,
2011, I celebrated my 1,000th review. Now, we’re only 10 dayz away
from June 10, 2021, a whole decade later! I only have ta complete 37 more
reviewz b4 I reach my 2,000th one. That means, I gotta do about
three or four a day, for tha next 10 dayz; how will I do? We’ll find out,
especially that I’m tryna find a full-tyme & have to get loaded to go walk
a mile for my back. I gon be reviewin’ a bunch of throwback releases from 2000
after this review & we’ll see how I progress. Fa now, as promised from
earlier in tha year, here goes my review for DJ Tremon Hottest In The City 10,
courtesy of M.O.B. Entertainment! Hottest
In The City 10 iz Tremon’s finally installment of tha Hottest In The City series. He’s continuin’ with Trippy Tuesday releases, which I should
get to check out. I just dunno when I’ll have tha proper free tyme to get to
everything. Either way, S/O to Tremon fa showin’ me luv on tha Trippy Tuesdays series; gotta keep it trippy! Start Time: 6:41 PM | End
Time: 7:54 PM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have
auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider
‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01.
Famous “Lucky (Long Live J-Dirty Intro)”
Producer:
Big Wayne
Yeah,
it was such a tragedy ta lose Dirty seven months ago today. He was an ‘80s baby
in his 30’s like us who really put tha city of BR on. Glad he put in lots of work; R.I.P.!
>>> Thought that sounded like Mista Cain in tha beginning; nice lil’
“Abadie” flava to hype ‘em up! As far as tha song itself, it sounds nice with
this dude’s energy & Big Wayne’s laidback, Baton Rouge street-based
production… Hearin’ tha hook & it nice; good intro track, here! Luv tha
energy in tha hook but it overshadows tha darker, unlucky side of tha street life. Hearin’ tha 1st verse
& it’s pretty dope wit tha consistent rhymin’; props on tha energy! Hearin’
tha 2nd verse & it sounds good; dope, even tho sometymes, I get
distracted from feelin’ like I’m bein’ preached by these lyrics. My Rating: 4.3
02.
Draftpik “Hottest In The City”
Full-on
Hottest In The City title, here, for
tha series! >>> Chick? Didn’t expect a chick wit Draftpik as their
name… Sounds like an okay lil’ hook; at least tha beat on some Baton Rouge club-like shit… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it an okay track; I don’t really fw too many female rappers, so tha
ratings don’t usually shine bright wit me. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse
& I’ont really gotta say anythang. Ironic that she’s right about “put you
ta sleep like tha seats heated” ‘cause I feel like it can bore too easily. My Rating: 2.6
03.
Dylan Cage “On ‘Em”
>>> Nice intro from Dylan, here; good shit. I have yet ta meet Dylan
& shit; I know he know about me. It’s just, I hadn’t had much of an
opportunity ta connect wit him. As far as this track goes, thumbs up fa him
bein’ “fulla doe-doe” & how he comes through on this Baton Rouge club beat! His voice just okay fa
me but he knows how ta make a nice club banga like this, at least; good effort.
Hearin’ tha hook & it’s pretty nice wit tha club energy; keep it up!
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & yeah, I’m feelin’ tha jigged-out presence, here! Gots to have
a “jigga” in yo life, at some point! Luv how tha vibe reminds me of when I
first got inta Louisiana rap music’s undaground, durin’ tha November 27, 2007
review I did for Jimmy The DJ’s Gangsta
Gumbo, Vol. 1 mixtape! My Rating: 4.4
04.
Breezy Bre “Punch You Down!”
>>> Likin’ this return of tha club-rap style from her, here; good hook
& beat… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & I’m likin’ how she all tha
way focused, courtesy of tha “bleezy in [her] hand!” Like I previously said, I
don’t immediately jump for joy wit tha female rappers but I’m glad Breezy at
least keepin’ tha energy up fa tha 225, here… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse
& it str8; nothin’ really fa me ta say, in addition ta what I already said,
here. My Rating: 3.8
05.
No Shoes feat. Geno “Out My Top”
Geno
as in Geno Saladin? I wonder,
especially since I literally just did a tribute video for my boy, Mr. Saladin… >>> Sounds like a
hyped-up intro, here; definitely in tha mood fa it…! Hearin’ tha hook &
it’s pretty lit; good shit, y’all! Gotta stay “out [tha] top,” especially on
this Baton Rouge
production! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & this shoesless dude soundin’ nice; keep tha energy up! Got tha Geno dude
on tha 2nd verse & he don’t sound like Mr. Saladin but I know I
done heard this Geno in tha past. Good contribution wit Mr. Shoesless No Shoes,
here; gotta luv tha club vibe, 100%! My
Rating: 4.4
06.
Amber Jewelz “Beast Attitude”
>>> New synth of tha YoungBloodZ & Lil’ Jon’s “Damn”, 18 years
later? Sounds good fa tha Rouge, here; almost thought it was a dude on tha mic,
at first… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; lyrics just a
regular-soundin’ mainstream vibe fa me, overall. “Got a flow so hot, tha mic
might melt”; good line, right there. Hearin’ tha hook & it str8; I like
this title for a chick/club vibe… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & I can
agree wit tha “no tattoos; got a fear of tha needle” line. I mean, I ain’t got
a “fear” but I tend to leave my body alone. I’d rather peep out peoples’
tattoos & hope they make me feel important. As far as tha rest of tha
track, it’s whateva. My Rating: 3.5
07.
D Boy “Blow A Bag”
>>> Not really crazy about tha title or tha beginning of tha lyrics,
in tha hook. However, this sounds like it’s somethin’ nice, between tha
Rougetastic production & Rougetastic D Boy on tha mic… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it’s consistent; keep bein’ “on that dumb shit”! Likin’ how tha
beat decides to change into an eerie vibe, toward tha pre-hook part; good shit.
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds cool; likin’ how tha eerie
part from tha pre-hook sounds like there’s less vocals. It’s like, a full-on
zoned feelin’ for tha eerie beat part! My
Rating: 4.0
08.
Mack Tony “Bricks”
>>> Sounds like a Louisiana
version of Trae Tha Truth? A more Atlanta,
typical mainstream-soundin’ beat? I’ono but we’ll see… Hearin’ tha beat mixin’
from 0:26 – 0:28 & it’s pretty dope how it repeats to grab your attention…!
Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it aight; just an okay lil’ street track
fa me, here. Got tha 2nd verse goin’ on, here & it’s str8;
nothin’ too-too excitin’ about tha vibe, except when tha beat repeats b4 tha
hook. My Rating: 3.6
09.
Miss Portia feat. Ice Doll “Closet Freak”
>>> Likin’ tha bouncier vibe but not really inta this track, between
tha closeted hook & it bein’ a
female track, overall. Good collab between Miss Portia & Ice Doll fa tha
clubz but mainly for tha ladies. As far as me, I’d rather move on to tha next
track… My Rating: 1.7
10.
Finea$$ Music “Bounce”
>>> Definitely not diggin’ tha vocals from this female; why a-tuned?
Also, tha money content; gtfoh!! “Bounce” vibe & beat wasted, here; tyme ta
keep it goin’…! My Rating: 1.0
11.
T-Dot feat. Bezo Luciano “Like Dat”
Geez, now a blocked-featured artist?? Tremon, you gotta pick up tha quality!! >>>
Sounds like a hyped-up beat for this decent-soundin’ Dot dude. Kinda sounds
like if Jimi Jump was back in his teens/early 20’s? Decent, includin’ tha hook;
too bad I only was able to listen to 0:53 of it, due to bein’ blocked by tha
guest feature! Also, as of this March 14, I’m even more disgusted in tha
feature for blockin’ me a whole year to tha day of when my uncle suddenly
passed! It’s like, absolutely NO
recovery from that moment!! *Stops at 0:53* My Rating: 3.8
12.
Tha G.T. “How I’m Livin’”
>>> Glad to hear G.T. back & that he stayin’ motivated, like a
true ‘80s baby in their 30’s should. I’ve neva really been tha craziest about
his beat choices but I’ll let this “C.R.E.A.M.”-inspired production in, on my
interest… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it cool; I dig how he comin’
through fa you, here, Tremon. Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; I’m really
feelin’ all tha energy in those sirens & “how [G.T.] livin’,” in 2K21!
Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool; consistent rhymes, so I’ll give
him props fa dat. My Rating: 4.1
13.
Pubmos “Daf”
I’m expectin’ anotha random female, here… >>> Sounds like an okay
track; now, we’re on a hyphy, West Coast-styled production? Sounds like an okay
White dude, if so? Just figurin’ out who they can be, based off of this 1st
listen; not bad but I’ono if it’s a full-on Hottest
In The City club vibe… Figured that tha title stood for “Dope As Fuck,”
here; that’s what it do. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like
dry energy wit tha delivery. Just seems like a lil’ bit of reading-like, with
tha flow’s sound; a lil’ bit of energy applied toward tha end of tha verse, at
least… My Rating: 3.4
½tyme: A few misses, as well as
decent & good tracks; seems like a banana split of likings &
dislikings? A 3.4-rated
release, so far; let’s see if we can pick back up…!
14.
Bo$$mane Dre “Trap Never Closed”
>>> I wanna say that it’s cool when I hear tha hook but it sounds like
a typical-soundin’ rap song & perspective of today’s world. Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it okay; like, what exactly
iz ‘posed to spark my liking to lovin’, here? Don’t really hear nothin’; it’s
just an always-open “trap,”
basically. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it just sounds like blah,
blah, blah; nothin’ ta say… Am I hearin’ “2010 ain’t stoppin’ nothin’”? Like, ’10? My Rating: 3.1
15.
Chevy Jade “Opinions”
>>> Why does some
rhyme/preach-like rappin’ like this need to have a-tune ruin it? Like, what’s
wrong wit these peoples’ point of views?
It affects my “Opinions” tremendously! Just a typical-soundin’ trap beat wit
a-tune in tha way… Tha 2nd verse iz here & I just shut it off at
1:24; no more voice bullshit! *Stops at 1:24* My Rating: 1.0
16.
GeeMoney Pimpin’ “I’m On It”
Producer: Austin On Tha Track
>>>
Four years after tha killin’ of Austin, here he
posthumously comes with this track fa his Off Tha Meter patna, GeeMoney Pimpin’. Hearin’ tha hook
& it aight; why tha title part had ta have a-tune ruin it? Ugh! Hearin’ tha
1st verse & I’ono, I thought I woulda liked Gee & Austin’s
combination betta. If tha production was more on a Baton Rouge tip than
soundin’ like your everyday trap-rap shit, it woulda been betta & less
borin’ fa me. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds like a hidden
feature? I’ono; I guess it’s an okay contribution. Hearin’ tha 3rd
verse & it’s anotha hidden feature? Don’t really know but their rhymes are
betta than tha 2nd verse’s. Still, a lil’ long fa this mixtape? How
did this go on three verses & just kept goin’? My Rating: 2.8
17.
OCG Peso feat. OCG Sheppard “Bottle After Bottle”
>>> Sounds like an okay production wit tha “Give Me That” sample in
tha background, at tymes… Hearin’ tha hook & it cool; can’t deny when tha
OCG gang comes through… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it cool ta hear,
as well; keep tha club vibes up, err-body! My
Rating: 4.2
18.
Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT “Steppin’ Like”
Producer:
Playa Pizzle
Oh boy; this got lucky to shine on tha final Hottest In The City! Seen it ID’d in so many various wayz:
JT OMG x Johnny Hustle
JT OMG x Johnny Hu$tle
JT OMG feat. Johnny Hustle
JT OMG feat. Johnny Hu$tle
OMG JT x Johnny Hustle
OMG JT x Johnny Hu$tle
OMG JT feat. Johnny Hustle
OMG JT feat. Johnny Hu$tle
Johnny Hu$tle x JT OMG
Johnny Hu$tle x OMG JT
Johnny Hu$tle feat. JT OMG
Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT
Johnny Hustle x JT OMG
Johnny Hustle x OMG JT
Johnny Hustle feat. OMG JT
Johnny Hustle feat. JT OMG
My
personal choice was OMG JT x Johnny
Hu$tle, to define that they both collaborated on tha hook. However, after
watchin’ Hu$tle interview JT on “Friday Night Flows”, I found out that JT
reached out to Hu$tle. So, now, I understand tha Johnny Hu$tle feat. OMG JT;
I always thought it was all tha way OMG Da Label & not all tha way
Hustlemania, here. Needless to say, this a dope collab, of course; luv how
Hu$tle & JT combine their vibes on tha hook, here! Hope I can party wit
them, one day—still waitin’ on a
Hu$tle party! Anything Hu$tle a part of iz a straight-up addiction or potential
one, I feel like! Luv how he brought a lot outta JT, here; hope for tha best
wit tha OMG fam! Also, Hu$tle consistent as shit wit tha lines, in his verse;
his “bruh-bruhs,” lol! Also, tha “-ank”-endin’ lines; that’s Hu$tle for ya!
Will he be worth $1,001.83 for a feature, one day? We’ll have ta see…! My Current Rating: 4.9
19.
HBO 2 Of ‘Em “Time Today”
Strange
stage name for HBO… >>> Sounds like an anticipatin’ beat to kick
thangz off, here; how will tha HBO dude do…? Sounds like a good dose of energy
on tha hook, here; definitely nice… Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it
cool; gotta have tha energy in you! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it
pretty hype; gotta hold it down fa tha 2-2-5! My Rating: 4.2
20.
No Shoes “Limelight”
>>> Cool Baton Rouge-soundin’ production fa tha streetz & clubz,
here; I digz it. Hearin’ tha verse & it aight; just seems like a quick lil’
96 seconds, overall? Just a bunch of rappin’ ta hold it down, it seems like… My Rating: 3.8
21.
Queen Leelo “Juggathon”
>>> Thought by seein’ tha “Jugg” in tha title that it was gon be more
on tha jiggin’ tip. Too bad I mistook
tha “U” vowel as if it was an “I”, smh. Not really feelin’ how this chick’s
comin’ through on this; just sounds like a mainstream track wit this beat.
Like, who else ain’t “chasin’ dat
bag”? Tha worst topic because I neva
see it come my way! Can’t even register tha rest of this as any form of
interest in me; that’s just my opinion, tho. My Rating: 1.1
22.
Slim Simaa “Before Our Eyes Close”
>>> Thought it woulda been a dude but it’s faster-soundin’ R&B…,
with tha a-tune fuckin’ shit up, too, smh. I just can’t take these vocals
serious; when will tha world eliminate tha shitty-ass a-tune? No wonder why I
keep plenty of my good clothes & vibes from 2008! If people can keep stupid
a-tune, why not me keep all my ’08 shit? That’s just me, of course…! Tha 2nd
verse of this almost sounds like as if this chick woulda been a guest on a Down
Bad track wit Jack Da Rippa or somethin’. Sounds like similar flowin’ of tha
singin’ but it’s still shitty fa me, overall. My Rating: 1.8
23.
Miss Portia feat. Cupid “For My Ladies”
>>> It’s been 14 years since “Cupid Shuffle” & still, Cupid runs wit that “new Cupid!”
shit… With that bein’ said, as far as this track, tha singin’ sounds more
serious than tha humorous previous track on here. It’s not for me, overall; not
inta this R&B-type shit of today, as it seemed to be left off in tha
2000’s, somewhere. Hearin’ tha hook & it ain’t too-too bad from Mr. “(New)
Cupid”, here… Of course, he had ta
throw in tha “got good money” shit, like 2021 R&B really needs tha rapper perspectives, too? Also, Cupid on tha 2nd
verse & it’s serious for an R&B tip. Still, how did this get lucky ta
be 3:50 long? I hate soundin’ uninterested but I gotta keep it real fa my
32-years-11-months-and-10-dayz-old-ass. My
Rating: 1.1
24.
Tchi feat. Duke “Last Night”
>>> This chick starts off nice with her fuckin’, in tha beginning of tha 1st verse. However, way
too slow & sappy ta nearly end this mixtape off. Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & there’s nothin’ of interest fa me, here; just anotha R&B-B vibe
that got lost up in this mixtape. Hearin’ tha Duke dude on tha 2nd
verse & I’m likin’ his Baton Rouge-soundin’ voice fa tha rappin’, here. Not
tha most excitin’-type of lyrics but I would like ta see how he comes through
wit some Baton Rouge-soundin’ rap jointz, one day… My Rating: 1.5
25.
OMGJaycee “All Good”
>>>
Thought it woulda been really hype wit tha OMG representa, here; just seems
okay wit tha hook & beat, so far… Hearin’ dude’s voice & tha vibe,
here, soundin’ like tha late Twelve A’Klok ta me… Hearin’ tha 1st
verse & it aight; basically, it just sounds like plain-ole rappin’,
overall. Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s boring; nothin’ poppin’
‘bout these rhymes. Like, tha last part of tha 2nd verse dealt with loneliness? Sounds like me but I keep
myself as productive as can be; avoid tha sadness, if so! My Rating: 3.3
26.
Defboi Matrix “Doin’ My Shit”
>>> Beat aight & tha hook sounds good; sounds like a non-Baton
Rouge native, based off how they sound? It ain’t too-too bad, overall, as tha 1st
verse sounds like flashin’ success? Guess that’s tha “recipe”? Hearin’ tha 2nd
verse & it’s whateva; I seem ta get bored wit these tracks easily, just
based off how tha 2nd verses seem like blah-blah-blah, when there’s
no feature… My Rating: 3.2
27.
Yotsai “Girlfriend”
>>> Sounds like it can be its own club anthem, if treated right?
Hearin’ tha hook & it sounds like tha vocals/beat combo’s too loud, as far
as tha masterin’ goes? That’s just me but it’s a pretty energetic anthem, here…
Lots of “dick” bein’ offered on tha end of tha hook; at least it’s a chant to
catch attention… Feelin’ tha “throw it back” chant on tha 1st verse,
as well; keep it goin’… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it’s good fa
just four barz, like tha 1st verse; a quick way to catch tha
attention. Overall, I’m glad there’s energy ta end this off but it’s just an
okay type of energy fa me. My Rating: 3.0
Overall: Didn’t seem like it was
somethin’ special to review but I reviewed it ta show luv—my luv, that iz. Lots
of female vibes ta break up tha continuous club vibes I’m used to, when it
comes to tha Hottest In The City
series. Also, tha a-tuned garbage got in tha way too many tymes. Not too many
highlights on this edition but we’ll see how tha Trippy Tuesdays series turns out, wheneva I decide on reviewin’
those.
