Broadcasting from my studio, here in Northeast PA, it's ya boy, FrankieThaLuckyDog here, sadly reportin' anotha tragic loss in tha Louisiana rap community.
N'awlinz, LA native, Jerome Cosey, known by his stage name 5th Ward Weebie, passed away on Thursday, January 9, 2020, from complications related to a ruptured artery; he was only 41 years-old.
Cosey made a name for himself as tha "Bounce King" of New Orleans; he released his debut album, Show The World, in 1999 on Mobo Records. In 2000, Cosey hit tha streetz with two discs: Ghetto Platinum, courtesy of Most Wanted Empire & Take It To The Hole, courtesy of South Coast Music. In 2001, Cosey teamed up wit tha Orleans' Kane & Abel to form tha group, Most Wanted Boys, which consisted of Kane & Abel, Weebie, Phoolish, Box & Royale, Bossplayer, Hustler & Sundown. Courtesy of tha Most Wanted Empire & Most Wanted Records, that year, they released their group debut, Down Bad. In 2002, Cosey was a part of tha N.O. rap group, 504 Boyz's hit single, "Tight Whips", off their 2nd album, Ballers. As tha year 2003 came, Cosey started releasing music under tha label, Fattboy Entertainment & released his 4th album, Da Unexpected. As 2004 came, tha Most Wanted Boys re-released their 2001 Down Bad album into Thug Unit, on Most Wanted Records, with a new CD cover. In 2005, fellow N'awlinerz, Demm Boys, presented Cosey with tha Weebie Wild, Vol. 1 release. Tha following year, in 2006, Cosey blessed tha streetz with two more discs: Bounce King Status: Da Mixtape, Vol. 1 & Bounce King Status, Vol. 2. In 2008, Cosey teamed up with fellow N'awlinzer, Lil' Wayne, for tha hyped-up track, "Bend It Ova", later featured on tha compilation CD, Next 2 Blow: New Orleans 2009, released tha following year. Cosey also teamed up with tha 504 group, Partners-N-Crime, in 2009, with their track, "So Attracted", from their We Are Legends CD. Collectively, throughout his career, Cosey was featured on over 40 other CDs, ranging from areas like tha N.O., to Baton Rouge, to Mississippi, to Texas & all luv throughout tha south. As tha 2010's rolled on, Cosey even built his empire by collaborating with Toronto's Drake. In 2018, Cosey, alongside BlaqNmilD, Drake, 504's Big Freedia & Fort Erie's Murda Beatz, all were in tha studio to create tha bounce-inspired single, "Nice For What". Tha single would go to debut at #1 on tha Billboard Hot 100 chart, for tha week of April 21, 2018. Despite topping tha Billboard charts, Cosey's fame would be short-lived, as on Thursday, January 9, 2020, he passed away, while being hospitalized for complications related to a ruptured artery. If Cosey lived to see February 19, of this year, he woulda turned 42 years-old.

Time
to get to a review before I sleep… Got Toez
All I, up next, released in 1999
on 2 Loaded Records & was produced by Christopher Mason! Also, if I’m not
mistaken, this may be tha smallest an artist album title iz, in my marathon! Includin’ spaces, Toez All I iz only 10 characters long!! Start Time: 6:21 AM | End Time: 7:12 AM
Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0
– 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!
I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long
as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and
then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a
song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6
rating, I pretty much really love it,
as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I
hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type
before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song;
anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m
listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have
auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money (which I consider
‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!
>>>
Trippyness: Tha last review I did, Tim Smooth’s Let It Be Written, ended 12 hours ago, last night, at 6:21 PM. Now,

beat! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & it’s real dope wit this beat &

hook’s pretty intense, especially wit tha sirens! Jokes aside, here!! Hearin’
tha 1st verse & it’s a feature? Gotta look it up! *Checks
online…* I didn’t have luck with tha tracklisting on Discogs but I heard you
say, “Jinks,” on tha 2nd verse; let’s go with him! It’s a good lil’
collab, as “Jinks” did a nice job & you held it down, as well…! My Rating: 4.3
04.

“niggaz,” here & they have a rapid-flowin’ flow goin’ on, here! They call
them “Gangsta?” Got tha 3rd verse goin’ on, here & it sounds
good wit you on it, reppin’ nicely… Got mo from tha featured artist comin’
through, spittin’ flamez…! This anotha
track not on tha tracklist on Discogs; what gives? My Rating: 4.0

>>> Luvin’ tha chokin’ in tha beginning; I miss chokin’! Beat’s pretty
nice & undaground-soundin’, here, fa tha mysterious…! Hearin’ tha 1st

09.
“W”
>>> Feelin’ tha G-Funk beat, here…! You hype up tha anticipation wit
tha intro, as well; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1st verse & you sound
consistent wit tha rhymes/hood story; definitely nice & swampy! Hearin’ tha
hook & it’s dope, I guess? Thought it was gon be fa “Win” but it’s fa “BMW,”
lol? Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds nice ta hear; keep it up…
Oh wait, you iz “throwin’ up this
‘W’,” in multiple wayz; nice! Hearin’ tha 3rd verse & it’s

“Complications!” Hearin’ tha 2nd verse & it sounds good fa tha
rough life. I’ve been there wit tha “pops not around” shit—couldn’t even visit

01.
“It’s All Over” feat. The Purified Assembly & Miss Kim
>>> Likin’ tha beat start with tha dark keys/vibe…! Sounds okay with
this chick singin’ on tha hook, as well as what you got on tha 1st
verse, here… Tha 2nd verse not too bad, here; startin’ ta sound
depressin’? A lil’ breakdown of singin’ from tha chick, here; I’ono… Now that

Especially that I’m currently depressed, I’ono how much I wanna appreciate this

“This Is How It Be” feat. Tre-8 & Miss Kim 3.9
Broadcasting from Northeast PA, it's FrankieThaLuckyDog, reporting another loss in tha Louisiana Rap community. Walter McCallon, who was known as tha rapper/producer Tre-8, was in Algiers, Louisiana, when he got into a fatal car accident on May 28, 2011. In tha car were his spouse, daughter, two nieces, and nephew; he was tha only one that failed to survive. McCallon was active in tha New Orleans, Louisiana Rap scene: being a backup dancer and learning how to produce with producer/rapper, Ice Mike; being a part of tha group Westbank Coalition in 1993; going solo to become one of tha first artists to sign with Master P's No Limit Records label, which released his 1995 "Ghetto Stories"; appearing on various compilations throughout tha South; working for South Coast Music Group; forming his own labels, Smoke 1 Records and Purple Haze Productions; and releasing music with Houston, Texas group, Dem Haze Boyz. If McCallon lived 'til July 16, he would've turned 37 years old (online sources say he already was 37, which iz FALSE; Ice Mike confirmed to me on tha phone that he died at 36).
