Got
anotha brand-new review for ya, here! This one just got released today off of
Mayham Entertainment & I’m anticipated ta hear it!! We got Level Club
Banga King 3!! Tha 3rd Club
Banga King disc!! Level always be
holdin’ it down with tha energy, club bangaz and bein’ one of tha best dudes
from BR! So, it’s only right that I go and buy this ta support him! Make sure
y’all do, too!! I’m expectin’ a lotta high-rated songs, of course!! Start Time: 8:03 PM | End Time: 9:35 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 use tha word “swag” frequently, have auto-tune in your vocals, or
talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

“Down In BR”
Can’t
wait ta hear this CD!! Just got fulla dat shit for it!!! Retwaded!!! Only 2:18
on tha length?! ½ intro, ½ fiya track?! >>> Oh, I get it! “Down In The
DM” beat; here we go… Haven’t heard a Jackin’
4 Beats-rappin’ Level in a long while! Seems like this refreshin’, despite
this bein’ a jacked-beat joint! Gotta feel how you comin’ through wit tha flow,
here!! ROFL @ tha instant, “Nigga, what?!?,” on tha hook; crazy!! At least you
don’t make this boring by havin’ your “Baton
Rouge” flow on this bitch! Nice job wit tha 1st
verse, of course; can’t deny it!! Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ great;
can’t believe you have that big tattoo on your face! Level has leveled up, lol! My Rating: 4.3
02.
“MC Hammer (Remix)” feat. Foxx & Hurricane Chris
Ooh,
can’t wait ta hear this crazy club banga!! I gon need a drank fa this
one—water, that iz! Mouse On Tha Track on tha production and look at tha crazy
lineup fa tha features!!! >>> Still soundin’ pulsatin’!! Crazy wit tha “hard like a ma’fucka!!”
Yeah, Level, “I’m shmokin’ on tha best weed,” straight from tha 1st
verse!! Who ain’t?! So fuckin’
jammin’, here; undeniable!! You really
holdin’ it down on tha verse wit your flow; you’re one of tha best!! So fuckin’
crazy; can’t say it enough!! Holy, fuckin’ charged-up Foxx on tha 2nd
verse, really holdin’ it down, here!!
So fuckin’ hyped up!! This iz why I
have all tha kinds of energy I have and neva back down from a challege!! It’s
y’all; y’all give me this energy!! That’s why, I’ll always support y’all!!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Chris on tha 3rd
verse, here, comin’ through wit some regular-soundin’ Chris shit… Good fa this,
even tho you & Foxx really held it down!! Still, Hurricane Chris on a really-dope remix!! My Rating: 5.0 (***GENEROUS
RATING!!!***))
03.
“All Da Above” feat. J Trax
Likin’
tha title a lot, especially since that’s how I feel when I’m a celebrity!! “All
da” damn tyme!! J Trax on tha feature and production, here; leggo!!
>>> Really feelin’ tha creepy-kinda beat intro, here! Hook’s
definitely catchy, here; nice shit! Here you come on tha 1st verse,
strictly “purple;” you know!! “28 and I been grown;” can’t believe I’m “28,”
Level! First heard you when I was 19; what’s goin’ on, here?! Can’t wait ta
meet you in tha future! I’m tryna touch down for tha 1st time in tha
Boot/Baton Rouge sometime next year; gotta believe in my dreams!! Tha 2nd
verse’s soundin’ pretty nice; your voice sounds grown, lol! Good shit;
definitely feelin’ how you comin’ through on this as a celebrity! Beat pretty
nice, too, combinin’ witchu! My Rating: 4.4
04.
“Screaming” feat. Racked-Up Ready
Got
Mr. RRR on tha feature, here; who would’ve thought he’d be gone?! Q-Red on tha
beat!! Fuck yeah!!! >>> Definitely some crazy shit wit tha beginning
beat, here! Oh, a Ready sample! This tha 1st time I’m hearin’ a
Ready-sampled song! Good start ta be sampled; I think I can fuck wit these
Ready-sampled tracks! Beat’s definitely on-n-poppin’ and Q-Red a legend!!! Here
you are on tha 1st verse, Level, comin’ through wit “dat 9mm!” Who
would’ve thought I’d have one ta me just weeks before I first heard you?! On
January 23, 2008, it was one of my first hangouts outside of school/college,
and some white dude pulled out a 9mm on me when I went to their apartment, for
tha 2nd time. They were like, “You like this?” I said, “No! Get it away
from me!” Then, he was like, “Fine; I’ll neva do it again!” He has an obsession
wit gunz! You doin’ ya thang on tha 1st verse, here; dumb shit!!
Ooh, a Ready verse fa tha 2nd verse; thought it was just gon be a
sample!! Sounds pretty nice; I’m feelin’ this! Doesn’t sound too sellout-y for
me! My Rating: 4.8
05.
“Drop It Like It Burn” feat. Ace
Only
know one Ace, and that’s Ace from Gardere, mainly known for his feature on
“Hood Song (Dat Lane)”
& from BluBlack’s CDs! We got Ken on tha beat; can’t wait ta see—hear what
I gon hear, here!! >>> Bet it gon be a jammin’ joint, here; definitely
feelin’ tha vibe! Here you are in tha beginning and you got this jammin’ shit
on lock; can’t deny it!! “Tell me what you need!” Yeah, I agree! Any chick I hang
out wit, I always buy them shit—I always
pay for “it!!” Tha hook sounds real jammin’; holy, fuck, lol!! Oh-fuckin’-boy!!
Shit sounds so excellent while fulla dat shit!! Oh, this Ace a female, here?
Not bad; sounds like a Da Brat vs. Iggy Azalea, lol! That’s just my 1st
reaction, but definitely a plus here fa a female!! Long, extended hook ta end
this off! Perfect fa while you’re fulla dat shit!! It feels like it neva ends!!
My Rating: 4.9
06.
“Street Niggaz” feat. Max Minelli & C-Loc
Ooh,
almost thought it was a repeat song from Big Scoob’s new CD, Back 2 Da Streets! His nephew, Koon On
Da Beat’s on tha beat, and it threw me off, lol! So, my anticipation’s pretty
high, with these legends on tha feature!! >>> “Yeah!!!” Here we
fuckin’ go!!! Jammin’, anticipatin’ beat start like it was a Big Scoob track!!
Yeah, tha hook’s definitely fuckin’ tight!! Sounds like classic-soundin’ shit
from you wit how you deliverin’ it! Of course, you holdin’ down tha 1st
verse, here; definitely sick!!! Got Max comin’ through on tha 2nd
verse, soundin’ like he even more evolved, like, level-up even further in tha streetz! And, Loc on tha 3rd
verse, comin’ through like it’s ageless Baton
Rouge music! Of course, gotta respect it at all times!! My Rating: 4.6
07.
“Independent Swagg” feat. Juvenile
Think
I might’ve heard from somewhere else? Either way, I gon treat this like a new
review! Rodnae Da Boss doin’ tha beat! >>> Sounds, like, really
exciting fa a Rodnae production and this hot 27-second beat intro! LOL @ tha
hook; nice job, Level! Hearin’ you on tha 1st verse and it’s
soundin’ pretty nice; you feelin’ tha vibe fa these “be-otch-ez!!” Great/dumb
shit!! Hearin’ Juvie on tha 2nd verse, here, comin’ through really
fast; can’t deny it!! Classic-soundin’ shit! Classic wit how you breakin’ down
tha bridge/3rd verse, Level!! So fuckin’ classic!! My Rating: 4.6
08.
“Don’t Give A Fuck” feat. Skip
Lookin’
forward ta dis Q-Red production!! >>> That’s a lotta tags in tha
beginning… Oh, I’m feelin’ how you deliverin’ this hook; definitely some dope
shit! Luv your celebrity vibe!! Instant transition to tha 1st verse
from you, here, continuin’ tha crazy-catchy vibe!! And now, transitionin’ to
Skip on tha 2nd verse, slowin’ down tha flow by quite tha amount,
lol! Still, an interestin’ combination! My

“He Say, She Say” feat. B-Will & Big Poppa
Oh,

Definitely jammin’ once it hits tha hook! Lol @ how you comin’ through on it,
Level!! Here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit some
jammin’, crazy-soundin’ gangsta shit!! Definitely a jammin’-ass hook; you really got pure chemistry wit Mouse On
Tha Track!! B-Will on tha 2nd verse, just spittin’ some good shit.
It’s like a regular voice, which iz ehh, but tha rhymes help it out… LOL @
Poppa on tha 3rd verse, kickin’ it off wit, “Mannnnnnneeeeeeeee!”
Nice/dumb!!! Kinda soundin’ like Cee-Lo Green, now that he’s evolved to 33
years-old! Poppa!! My Rating: 4.4
10.
Skit
Bwahahaha!
Ain’t expect a “skit,” lol! >>> What can be goin’ on…? Sounds like
it’s samplin’ tha old dayz, in tha rain, old music, just vibin’ while it’s
rainin’ out… My Rating: N/A
11.
“Ms. Parker” feat. Mouse On Tha Track & Kango Slim
Ooh,

12.
“Beat Up” feat. Tweeday & Thug Brothers
Can’t
wait ta hear this crazy, hyped-up collaboration!! Koon doin’ anotha track fa
you, Level!! Exciting!!! >>> What an intro—oh wait, a hook!! Volume
sounds kinda quieter, here, but tha vibe’s here; that’s all that matters! Good
shit comin’ from you on tha 1st verse, Level! Definitely feelin’ it!
I remember when all these rappers I randomly discovered on MySpace, or
discovered me (Tweeday). It’s like, who would’ve thought y’all would reach
collaboration status?! Shit’s definitely on-n-poppin’ wit this energy from tha
2nd verse, here!! And, keepin’ it goin’ wit tha 3rd
verse, here, always not “hard ta find!”
Always feelin’ tha dark beat vibe and how tha Thug Brothers hold it down on tha
verse; definitely pure!! Y’all kept about 11 seconds of silence on this bitch,
at tha end, lol; random… My Rating: 4.7
13.
“Street Shit” feat. Spitta & G-Nate

luvin’ this shit, right now!!!
Excellent hook, here; luv how it sounds!! Definitely defines tha vibe/setting
for tha streetz!! Here you are on tha
1st verse, Lev, comin’ through wit dat crazy “shit,” with those pure
keys in tha background!! Such a fuckin’ jam, despite bein’ for tha streetz!! We got Spit on tha 2nd
verse, here, comin’ through wit his usual; gotta feel it! Spit it like it iz, Spit!! Keepin’ it goin’ wit Nate on tha 3rd
verse, comin’ through wit some great “street shit!” His voice kinda plain like
B-Will, but it’s still nice ta have him as a collaborator! My Rating: 4.7
14.
“I Know You Want It”
Ewe,
no producer?! I can’t think of what this can be!! >>> Oh, an uncredited Koon on tha beat, here! Nice
surprise! Beat sounds pretty nice, of course; definitely some pure street/club shit! Catchy hook, too;
nice! Good shit wit tha 1st verse, here! Excellent flow and really
layin’ it down in tha bed, once again! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and tha
line, “Don’t kiss yo girl, my dick up in there,” that repeated literally
reminded me of “Uptown Funk”, lol; sounds similar wit tha flow, lol. Nice job
wit tha rest of this shit! My Rating: 4.3
15.
“Paper Route”
feat. B-Real & Ronnie Rap Game
Who’s Ronnie Rap Game, lol? OMG, right when they
change tha way to bake at work, as well as me havin’ anxiety to get off on
Percy Keith’s birthday (August 18), B-Real’s here! Even on tha beat! Oh, in my
zone, too! I think I need to find food before I go inta this one!! *Finds
something…* Aight, I’m back! Oh, B-Real, when will you reconnect wit me?! Just
mailed my new CD off today to him, Big Wayne, his mom & their brother,
Justin Dabney; hope they enjoy it! I also wrote a letter to B-Real & his
mom, stating that we should reconnect, especially since tha one-year of my
brother’s passing just passed. There’s no time left for beefin’! It’s been 2 ½
years; so much has happened in my life!! With that bein’ said, let’s do dis!!!
>>> *Screams* “Fuck this!!!” Naw, when I say that, I feel funny!
Shit’s so fuckin’ pure!! Gotta luv B-Real on tha hook!! He made me $52,000
richer!!! Tha money and status continuin’ ta rise wit me, thanx ta him!! He
really got shit on lock!! He missin’ out on too many of my ventures, tho! But,
anyway, here you are on tha 1st verse, comin’ through wit dat tight
shit! Luvin’ tha rhymes and how you comin’ through wit how you deliver this
shit! Definitely tha place ta be: Level’s life!! Think: I worked from 4 AM – 2
PM & 5 PM – 9 PM last Sunday! And, 4 AM – 2 PM & 7:40 PM – 12:18 AM
this past Sunday! Where’d all that work ethic start from?! B-Real!!! Who would
work 14.91 hours in a day?! Me!! Got Ronnie on tha 2nd verse and he
sounds catchy on this, fa some1 I neva heard of, before! Good shit! Ooh, even
more ta this! A 3rd verse! Must be a group? Sounds betta than tha 2nd
verse; really feelin’ this fastness!! Gotta appreciate this while you can!!
Just think of this luv: B-Real still has me blocked, but his “Turnt Up”’s
chartin’ on my playlist, like, right now!! Why would I play some1 who can’t
stand me?! It’s all about thinkin’ positive!!!
My Rating: 4.9

“Bootin’”
Just
like tha Boot, itself, you “bootin’!”
I feel dat!! No producer listed & only 2:12 on tha length? >>>
Sounds like it gon be excitin’!! Okay, Q-Red on tha beat! No producers listed
‘cause no features listed? I’ont get it, but definitely a surprise!! Feelin’
how you have tha energy on tha short hook, as well as this crazy 1st
verse!! Lol @ tha line, “Middle fingaz up like, ‘Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!’!” Tha
2nd verse sounds jammin’ as fuck, too; undeniable!! Unbelievable!! My Rating: 4.5
17.
“Still Jiggin’” feat. Da Jiggalaters
I’m
like, “I know this was on two CDs;” how’d I hear two, already? Now, I realize!
Big Scoob & Sam I Am! Now, Level!! Anyway, Q-Red on tha beat, here!! Almost
thought that was him on tha pre-hook but it’s Sam I Am with you, Level, ya
dig?! Ooh, you tearin’ up tha hook, here!! Really diggin’ tha “Roll On” shit
from tha Big Tymers on tha sample, too!! And, we got you on tha 1st
verse, comin’ through wit tha “pillz,” as you eat “‘em all at tha dinner table!” Yeah, Level!! “2016;” it’s
official!!! Definitely a sick 1st verse ta vibe to at all times!! And, it’s wild, here, wit
Sam I Am on tha 2nd verse!! He anotha dude I first heard on February
16—might’ve been 17th, 2008 ‘cause that review I done did, Big Jay’s
Pyrex Radio Vol. 4: From Crumbz 2 Brickz,
took me two dayz ta review ‘cause I was reviewin’ a CD a month, back then! Dope
shit on tha 2nd verse, includin’ when I heard D-So & them do
they thang, too! Definitely dope shit from Scoob on tha 3rd verse,
here!! It’s all about bein’ tha most resistant and consistent!! Keepin’ this
shit goin’ wit T-Lo on tha final part, here! Dumb shit, especially when two
months ago, tha Jukebox Challenge featured my radio edit to T-Lo’s “All Day”,
with my dog bark in tha beginning!! My
Current Rating: 5.0
Overall: Wow!! Anotha critically
acclaim review by ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog a.k.a. Frank Calhoune!! Level, you

much err-thang!!! Your energy, your vibes, your deliveries, your songs, your
