Review #1,723: MFWeeThang "MFWeeThang (Promo Disc)"

Reviewed on 5.14.2017 (Review #1,723)

Not too much goin’ on durin’ this Mother’s Day, so I finna catch up on some reviewz… Here goes a dude I met at tha Sundown in Baton Rouge on March 28, 2017: MFWeeThang, some unsigned hype, with a random promo disc I just titled MFWeeThang (Promo Disc); can’t wait ta hear! Heard a track called “My Section” from him off that Go Tuff mixtape that I received from Sundown’s CD shop and it’s dope! Can’t wait to hear more! I don’t have any titles or artwork, so we’ll see what’s good, here… Start Time: 4:20 PM | End Time: 5:18 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!

Link To CD: N/A

01. “Heaven Or Hell (Freestyle)”

>>> “See [you] wit [your] clothes off” ta start this off? Also, an instant start? Guess we got those instant starts, here… And, a “Heaven Or Hell” beat; guess I’ll call this “Heaven Or Hell (Freestyle)”? Ain’t even recognize tha beat ‘cause of how tha pitch iz increased, during tha beginning, lol… Hearin’ tha verse and it sounds nice; good shit! Hope there’s some original content from you, tho… My Rating: 3.6

02. “Bad Pack”

>>> “Extended Cigarillo”? Dope beginning and nice beat, here… Couldn’t detect tha producer but almost thought it was Haney… Tha hook sounds like it’s sayin’, “Bad Pack”? Maybe, I’ll call it that… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s dope; good shit! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and yeah, can definitely feel this! In my documentary on my Louisiana trip, you said you couldn’t handle tha jiggaz, which are now made with meth instead of “E”; crazy! Crazy how that lands people “in tha hospital;” crazy shit! But yeah, definitely feelin’ tha hustle, here! Now, tha 2^nd verse wit tha “extended cigarillo” shit; good shit! Luvin’ how tha beat sounds pretty fast and dope; you got a good taste! Too bad I ain’t get ya numba while I was down there, but I got pics…

Good shit; keep up tha great work!! My Rating: 4.5

03. “1 Hunnid (Freestyle)”

>>> Don’t think I gon feel this; not anticipatin’ tha auto-tune… And, smh @ tha jacked K Camp beat… Should I just call it “1 Hunnid (Freestyle)”? No comment on tha 1^st verse and hook, here… Just randomness on tha 2^nd verse, here; can’t feel it… And, an outro of 1:11, huh? Ick! There’s 30 seconds of silence! My Rating: 1.0

04. “Money Good”

>>> Likin’ tha intro; will I appreciate this? Gotta luv tha crazy voice of yours! A Deezy dude on this beat; at least it’s original and no a-tune! “WeeTV” iz tha “TV!” Hearin’ tha hook and ehh, can’t fuck wit this “money good” shit… I seen you throw down your money at Sundown and it was about $300 or so… I make that in tips alone at my job in only two weeks, without a paycheck! Nothin’ special to flash; that’s why I don’t fuck wit that “money” music! I’m just sayin’! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s decent; just random rhymes… I feel like I can appreciate you more if it was more on Baton Rouge-type content than “money” shit that anyone can spit! Luvin’ how you sound on tha 2^nd verse wit your crazy-ass! “Gotta go to Sun…;” Sundown? My Rating: 3.2

05. “Trapped Out” feat. Maintain

>>> Tha start sounds like a Gucci Mane sample or somethin’? Volume’s pretty loud, here… Sounds like it gon be anotha “money” track? I’ll call this one “Trapped Out”? Hook a lil’ betta than tha previous hook; reminds me of old-ass Gucci shit… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ betta, this time… Anotha dude on tha 2^nd verse, here; can’t tell who it iz… Hearin’ them and it sounds like a good feature… I can see a mixtape project between y’all two comin’ out or somethin’? Somethin’ about hearin’ your first feature? Tha dude on tha 3^rd verse sounds like anotha feature, too; good shit… This “BR” hustla doin’ his thang wit tha jiggaz and shit; good shit… Not that I recognize tha voice but I recognize tha name from tha Go Tuff mixtape: Tha 3^rd verse iz from Maintain! My Rating: 4.3

06. “Rags To Riches”

>>> Not feelin’ tha start, as it sounds like a jacked beat or somethin’… Funny how this sappy start ain’t rewind or nothin’, as an instant start… I’ll call this “Rags To Riches”; an okay hook, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds like a day in tha life of tha home of WeeThang, here, in my opinion… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s pretty nice, here; can’t complain too much… Overall, a decent track; nothin’ much else ta say… My Rating: 3.5

07. “Shit No” feat. Silverleaf

>>> Sounds like a catchy lil’ Baton Rouge track on tha hook and semi-eerie beat, here; luvin’ tha “shit no!” I’ll call it “Shit No”? Sounds like a catchy flow on tha 1^st verse, here; definitely nice! Great job makin’ some mo quality-soundin’ Rouge music! We got a feature on tha 2^nd verse, here… When they said, “Silverleaf,” to me, that reminded me of tha street or somethin’ that we were on? Then again, I know you said in my documentary, “Get Silverleaf;” must be a rapper, too? I’ll give him credit… Nice lil’ verse; gotta luv emergin’ from tha Rouge!! My Rating: 4.2

08. “Do Ya Thang” feat. Money Bagz & Sheppard

>>> Time fa Trel It’z A Hit on this beat! Don’t know tha female on tha 1^st verse, tho, but she decent… Guess I’ll call this “Do Ya Thang”? Tha hook catchy; luvin’ tha beat sounds from Trel, here! Sounds on lock, here!! Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s tha same dude from tha hook… Don’t recognize tha feature, this time, but decent lil’ verse… Don’t think I recognize tha 3^rd verse but tha closest I can think of who it iz iz Money Bagz; I’ll just say it’s him? Sounded like a nice verse… Hearin’ tha 4^th verse and it’s you, comin’ through wit some nice, southern-type shit… A 5^th verse, here, soundin’ like someone on this CD, already? Heard “Sheppard,” but can’t 100% say it’s tha “Sheppard” I know? I don’t know much, here… Needless to say, nice job wit this one… My Rating: 3.8

09. “My Section” feat. Maintain

>>> Sounds like “My Section”; easily recognized this one! And, here was tha review for it I did:

Beat sounds nice fa tha Rouge; tha hook’s pretty nice, too… And, 1^st time hearin’ WeeThang on tha 1^st verse, here, soundin’ nice…; sounds like a dope track… Once I met dude, I knew he had some sorta future, so I wish tha best of success fa him! Keepin’ it movin’ wit anotha WeeThang verse, here, soundin’ dope; good shit! Makes me wanna get back to tha Rouge ASAP! I hate that it’s $600 for a plane ticket, smh; why so much? Money ain’t an issue but why can’t it be, like, $400 or somethin’, tha most? My Current Rating: 4.5

10. “Face Goin’ Good” feat. Money Bagz

>>> I heard Money Bagz in tha beginning, here; good intro and this beat! That same dude that I thought was Haney iz on this beat, right chea! Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice wit how this “face goin’ good;” should I call it “Face Goin’ Good”? Nice hook; gotta luv these tracks! Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and hear comes $$$!! Nice job, Money Bagz, as you’re always reppin’ nicely on tha tracks fa tha undaground of tha Rouge! And now, here you are on tha 2^nd verse, soundin’ nice, holdin’ shit down… My Rating: 4.2

½time: Started off a lil’ iffy wit tha jacked beats and auto-tune but then, tha original content that I’m diggin’ came ta hit my speakaz! Only a 3.7-rated CD, currently… Not too big about tha “money” tracks but otha than that, quality Rouge music at its finest!

11. “The Game Belongs To Me (Freestyle)” feat. Sheppard

>>> Back to tha jacked beats (“The Game Belongs To Me”); damn! It’s 11 years-old, now? I luv how tha quality was shitty when tha original hook played but then, tha quality was normal once tha 1^st verse hit… Sounds like that dude said, “Sheppard,” again; just gonna consider it’s him… As far as tha verse, it aight; no interest in this jacked-beat shit, tho… And now, anotha feature on tha 2^nd verse, here… Don’t recognize tha voice, tho… Now, you on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ decent, too… My Rating: 3.1

12. “Hood Bitch” feat. Sheppard

>>> Sounds like a jacked beat but I can’t think of what it iz… Almost sounds like Future’s shit? Don’t recognize tha producer’s ID but honestly, I thought this was a jacked beat by tha typical sound, smh… I’ll call this “Hood Bitch”; betta-than-average hook, even tho it kinda plain? Dude on tha 1^st verse sounds kinda wack wit tha lyrics, here… Dude from “Oaktown”, here—oh, it’s that “Sheppard” dude… And, only one verse, here; bleh… Oh wait, a lil’ verse from you toward tha end; a lil’ short… My Rating: 2.9

13. “Dirty Muthafucka”

>>> Sounds like Lil’ Phat on tha hook? “Dirty Muthafucka” as this title? Feelin’ tha groovy vibe on tha hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse—only verse, accordin’ to this length—and it’s decent wit what you’re bringin’… Make a documentary yourself: A Day In Da Life of WeeThang! My Rating: 3.7

14. “First Shot”

>>> Didn’t recognize tha beat tag in tha beginning… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds like it gon be energetic or somethin’… Multiple shots, here; dope hook… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and tha aggressive dude sounds nice, here… Consistent rhymes wit tha “rest in peace to Rockafella; I’mma rock a fella” shit, here… Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, here; gotta keep it movin’… Not really a title to pick but I’mma just pick “First Shot”, since it’s “tha first shot… Tha third shot… Tha fourth shot… Tha fifth shot…” And, we got you on tha 3^rd verse, here, soundin’ nice wit this gangsta shit from tha Rouge; good shit! My Rating: 3.9

15. “Hello World”

>>> Sounds like what would be tha first song you’d record? Just by hearin’ tha quality of this… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and you straight outta “Glen Oaks;” good shit! “Jungle Muzik Mafia;” that your label? I ain’t even know tha label and couldn’t find anything… Tha last two words you said on this was, “Hello World;” I’ll just call it that, lol… My Rating: 3.8

EDIT: Not 100% sure about tha Jungle Muzik Mafia thing… If I’m wrong, someone correct me…

16. “Leaf Coast”

>>> Sounds like a jacked beat, here… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and that’s what’s up that you a “‘90s baby,” here; I’m older than you… “A Leaf show?” Silverleaf on tha feature? I’ono… This sound nice, tho; I’ll call it “Leaf Coast,” here, lol… “From tha East Coast to tha Leaf Coast!” My Rating: 3.6

17. Interlude

Only four seconds?? >>> Nothing, lol… My Rating: N/A

18. “Get At Us” feat. Sheppard

>>> Sounds like a hyped-up hook but tha beat sound a lil’ familiar? Feelin’ how hyped-up you are on tha 1^st verse, here, havin’ energy like there’s no tomorrow! Should I just call this “Get At Us”? I’ono… Hearin’ that “Sheppard” dude on tha 2^nd verse, here, comin’ through wit some hyped-up shit, here… My Rating: 3.8

19. “Itchin’ Fa Dope”
>>> “Itchin’ Fa Dope” in tha beginning, here? I’ll call it that…? Decent lil’ beat, here… Nice job on tha verse, too… Just feelin’ tha whole Rouge vibe, even tho this beat remind me of some Jeezy shit… My Rating: 3.7

20. “Bust The Hood Open”

>>> Sounds like a jammin’ lil’ track, like it was tha ‘90s or somethin’ on this beat, here… I’mma call this “Bust The Hood Wide Open”? Maybe, just “Bust The Hood Open”? I’ono… Either way, nice lil’ hook; definitely catchy shit! Hearin’ tha verse and it’s pretty short; good shit, tho… My Rating: 4.1

Overall: Thought this was a good CD, even tho a good portion of tha ratings were only decent… I do think you have a lotta potential, especially since you were, like, one of tha 1^st rappers I met in Louisiana that I had no idea who you were till I met you… Best of luck wit err-thang, tho! Gotta keep tha undaground, Baton Rouge music alive!!

Reviewed on 11.04.2016 (Review #1,582)

My next review iz Souljah Muzik Recking Crue Souljahs Neva Die. This mainly a collaboration project between Tazz & Club, as well as it featuring a few others from tha clique… Start Time: 9:04 AM | End Time: 9:24 AM

01. Tazz feat. Club “Intro”
>>> Decent beat; sounds like somethin’ Drake would rap on? Kinda sounds like him in tha flow, here… Decent for tha 1^st verse, here… Tha 2^nd verse sounds much betta wit tha fast rappin’… My Rating: 3.7

02. Club feat. Tazz “It’s Gon Get Better”

Missin’ tha “N” in tha “Go”? I’ll put it in there… >>> Has a nice vibe in tha beat, here; Baton Rouge to tha fullest! Diggin’ that organ; excellent beat! Tha hook sounds nice with how it should “get better!” Tha 1^st verse sounds nice ta hear; Baton Rouge flows at their finest! Tazz on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through with some regular-soundin’ flows/rhymes, here… My Rating: 4.1

03. Club feat. Tazz “IDK How To Act”

>>> This sounds a lil’ betta fa tha upliftin’ club vibe, even tho I liked tha previous beat betta… Definitely feelin’ how this sounds on tha hook, here, as y’all “don’t know!” Rhymes ain’t too bad on tha verses; glad y’all fucked up on them “jiggaz” and all that good shit… My Rating: 3.8

04. Club feat. B-Berry “Zydeco Dance”

No Tazz, this time? >>> Not feelin’ tha beginning voice, as it almost sounds a-tuned… Hearin’ tha hook from Club and it’s soundin’ a lil’ betta… I’m diggin’ his excitement with tha “aye!” Tha 1^st verse ain’t too bad from Club, here, but hearin’ that B-Berry on tha 2^nd verse with that dumb-ass voice effect makes me wanna skip tha verse! My Rating: 3.1

05. Savage “Talk To Savage”

Wonder who this Savage iz…? >>> Beat sounds too much like “I Got 5 On It”, even tho it sounds kinda cool… Not sure who this dude iz, but it sounds like you, Tazz… As far as tha track, it’s decent; I’ll leave it at that… My Rating: 3.4

06. Tazz feat. Club “I Do It”

>>> Nice lil’ club vibe; excellent party lyrics on tha hook! “Jiggaz” and “barz!” Tha 1^st verse almost sounds like a younger version of Young Ready, here; interestin’… Very consistent wit tha rhymes, too, just like how Ready was! Great job, Club! And, you got that power on tha 2^nd verse, Tazz; nice! My vibe: eatin’ edibles…, wheneva I can find ‘em! My Rating: 4.0

½time: This anotha decent release from Tazz and tha clique, here; can’t complain. Y’all got tha club vibes on lock on this one! A 3.7-rated CD; not bad…

07. Rojay feat. Tazz “I Ain’t Mad At You”
>>> Tupac on tha beat, again? Last time, it was a sample… “At You”? What about “Ya”?! SMH @ goin’ downhill… Kinda random, kinda long; not tha worst, tho… My Rating: 2.5

08. Club feat. Ruger “Mask Up”

“Ruger”? Wasn’t it “Roger”, at one point? Two different people? >>> Trel It’z A Hit did this beat; recognized tha tag… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds nice, here… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it’s soundin’ like a tight Baton Rouge dude, here; can’t complain… Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice, too; luvin’ tha beat sounds! They keep comin’ outta nowhere! True Baton Rouge production, here! My Rating: 4.2

09. Club feat. Tazz “Dumb Shit”

>>> Sounds like anotha nice lil’ Baton Rouge-soundin’ song with a sample goin’ on, here; “dumb shit!” Tha 1^st verse sounds chill from you, Tazz; good G-shit, here! And, Club soundin’ nice ta help you out on tha 2^nd verse, here; can’t deny this! My Rating: 4.1

10. Tazz feat. Club “Somebody”
>>> A laidback vibe, here… I’m likin’ how you have a G-Funk sound to your vibe, here, as far as rappin’ on this beat… And, good shit from Club, too, bringin’ back tha throwback Ready sound! My Rating: 3.8

11. Tazz feat. Club, Ruger & Rojay “Souljah Muzik”
>>> A Dreco beat, here? Likin’ how tha intro starts with, “Let’s take a ride tonight…” Nice job wit tha hook, here… Tazz soundin’ decent on tha 1^st verse, here; not bad… Club on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit that Ready vibe, again! Definitely need this kinda shit ta resurrect tha Ready before Ready would start ignoring/not givin’ out his number! My favorite Ready was tha Ready that wrote me that letter from jail, back on September 18, 2008! Ruger provides a nice lil’ Baton Rouge vibe, here, as you need to “smoke some purple grapes,” of course! And, Rojay sounds good ta contribute ta this, too… My Rating: 3.7

12. Tazz feat. Club “Act Like That”
>>> I’m feelin’ tha beat intro, here, as it sounds like it’s ready fa some shit… I guess tha producer’s name’s “Lil’ Rippa”, as it says, “Shout out ta Lil’ Rippa fa rippin’ this beat.” It sounds like y’all got tha fast-flowin’ rappin’ on lock, here? Maybe, I should call it that “consistent-flowin’” rappin’? Nice job wit tha 1^st verse and tha beat sounds spice thangz up! Club fa an undaground legend, in tha future!! Hearin’ Tazz on tha 2^nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice, too! Gotta feel tha vibe he bringin’ to tha table, rap-singin’ and holdin’ it down fa tha hood! Gotta “sag!” My Rating: 4.0

Overall: Just like your previous two CDs I reviewed, they were pretty good. I felt like this one was betta, but there were less songs ta keep tha CD rating at a steady position. Still, this one definitely had less below-average ones… I’m definitely feelin’ tha club vibes, especially tha Club dude!

Reviewed on 5.16.2016 (Review #1,498)

Can’t believe it’s been 3 months & 11 dayz since I last reviewed a Louisiana CD! I’ve been reviewin’ Promo Only’s Promo Only: Dance Radio editions each month, still, so I haven’t been reviewless. It’s just, since that last Louisiana review (Kevin Gates Islah), we’ve been really short-handed and I’ve been workin’ my ass off at tha front counter by myself, every day, for three months straight! It’s been brutal hell, I tell ya!! Haven’t had much energy & time for shit, even down to lil’ NY trips! But, now, this could be a lil’ bit of a shakeback… Got a brand new CD out now, WFTLD Newz, so I’m feelin’ great in some areas! But now, time fa a Louisiana review—yay, lol! Released on August 4, 2015, it’s Dino Danja & Dae~Dae, from Baton Rouge, Scales, Bales & Sales (Hosted by DJ Tremon), brought to you by Danja Zone Muzik & Ya Own 2 Entertainment! Wonder how Dae~Dae’s doin’? Funny to know that tha last time I talked to him was last year, on June 15! It was when I shmoked heavy with this chick I worked with, who’s 48! He was like, “Did you suck her off good?” ROFL, Dae~Dae! For shmokin’ purposes only, lol! Naw, we good friends! Also, since then, some “Dae Dae” without tha symbol has come outta Georgia with that “Wat U Mean” song that I’m kinda feelin’. However, I don’t like that he jacked Dae~Dae’s name!! But yeah, let’s get into this! Start Time: 4:55 PM | End Time: 5:57 PM

01. “Intro”

Produced by Trell It’s A Hit (lol/smh @ tha full name?); let’s see… >>> Wow, I thought it was “Nitro” (‘cause of tha back cover) but it’s just an “Intro”! Nice beginning from DJ Tremon, here, and wow, really diggin’ this ‘90s/old-soundin’ hip-hop beat fa tha BR! Wow, fuckin’ lovin’ tha return of Dae~Dae on tha 1^st verse, here! Oh, man, as I’m almost 28, listenin’ to this makes me feel like I’m tha 16 year-old and Dae~Dae’s tha 28 year-old, even though we’re really only six years apart, lol! No wonder why I look up ta him!! Excellent verse, strictly grindin’ ova this heat—tha beat!! Tha 2^nd verse’s soundin’ nice from Danja, here! Oh, just diggin’ this beat so much!! “In and outta state, thug!” Shit yea! Gotta luv tha southern vibe at all times! Don’t think PA’ll eva understand “bet,” yet, lol… My Rating: 4.7

02. “You Can’t Relate”

Actually, funny, but as of January 20, 2015, I can “relate,” in a way! Shocking?! >>> Almost sounds like DJ Wookee in tha beginning, but it’s DJ Tremon. Oh, just diggin’ this evolved Dae~Dae voice!! Diggin’ tha shit on tha verse, here; luvin’ tha drug content and street content, ya dig?! Luv how he says, “doe doe,” when I think of Doe-Doe from Baton Rouge, hence, January 20’s Doe-Doe’s birthday! Too bad I can’t get away from tha “fake” from my job, since they keep complainin’, “I know Frankie hates me!” It’s like, c’mon! If you weren’t such a fuck-up, you would succeed, rather than get hated on! But yeah, nice hook, too… Danja on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit them livin’-life rhymes… “Sometimes, I wanna quit;” right? Tried to put my two weeks in tha other day but they denied it! So, when Doe-Doe and them ain’t all motivated for tha music, quitting ain’t an option!! My Rating: 4.4

03. “Million-Dollar Honda”

X-Fyle doin’ tha beat—feels great to write some of this ‘cause it’s been a long while since a review, it seems like! Let’s hear it! >>> Hearin’ tha beginning and it sounds hot! I swear, hearin’ these kinda Baton Rouge-soundin’ songs in this work world I’m in, now, I feel like two completely different worlds are connectin’ in a weird, but unique way!!! Oh, I’d prolly luv this if I was high, right now! Definitely diggin’ tha catchy hook, here! Fuck yeah, Dae~Dae on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through like tha icon he iz!! Like, time flies? Been knowin’ Dae~Dae since seven years ago, this month, when he gave me Yung Yola’s jail address. Since then, everythang I heard from him has been aces!! And, around these youngins, tha way I dress and act, I’m their Dae~Dae, ya dig? Here comes Dino on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit… Yeah, definitely some great music fa this kinda time… Too bad I’m gettin’ to it kinda late, but then again, especially since there’s not much noise in tha undaground right now, timing don’t really matter, at tha moment… My Rating: 4.5

04. “Who I Do It 4”

Trell It’s A Hit providin’ tha beat, here… And, y’all must “do it 4” me! >>> Oh, yea, definitely anticipatin’ this beat start! Bringin’ back tha anticipatin’ vibes of Louisiana, lol?! Nice wit “who” y’all “make music 4!” Really goin’ off on tha 1^st verse, Dae~Dae!! My God, I’ve always loved what you’ve brought to tha table, but I’ve neva embraced it in a major way!! I think I oughta “do” dat!! I’m sendin’ you a copy of my new album but I’m writin’ you, too, since I have no idea how ta get a hold of you, these dayz… After all that excitement, here comes Dino on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit tha good street shit ta top this off… So glad Dino anotha one that neva age! Hope he doin’ this in his 50’s!! Or, like tha lady that’s been at my job for 29 years, hope Danja doin’ this when he close to 70!! My Rating: 4.6

05. “What Is You Doing??”
LOL, gotta feel tha title but no producer? “What Is [Y’all] Doing??,” lol? >>> At least it ain’t a jacked beat; as long as it online or somethin’, it all good… Here comes King Dae~Dae on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit dat dumb shit! Oh wait, aimin’ at tha ones with tha “wrong decision,” I see, here? Okay, when they “blowin’ money on drugs and an outfit;” I dig dat. When you have dat good money, you get your CDs pressed up! Also, you travel and blow like a ma’fucka, ya feel me?! Nice job on tha 1^st verse and, holy shit, really diggin’ how Dae~Dae soundin’ on tha hook wit tha emotion, lol! Nice how Danja comes through answerin’ what Dae~Dae asks, lol! Nice job wit tha 2^nd verse, Danja; always connectin’ where Dae~Dae leaves off… And, a long outro with 34 seconds of silence; hmm… My Rating: 4.5

06. “Clientelle”

Speaker Knockerz doin’ tha track, here; let’s get it! >>> “Shout out to my shmokers;” fuckin’ right! “I can get you what you want, bro…;” whether “bro” or “bruh,” you still sound great wit it, Dae! You right about those “‘90s babies” wit how they “post they shit on Instagram and get slammed!” Then again, I ain’t been ashamed of expressin’ how much I luv weed, these dayz, lol. Good shit, Dae! Luv hearin’ your evolved voice; you’ve always been tha shit! Nice job wit tha hook, soundin’ like “Make Tha Trap Say Aye”, lol. Hearin’ tha 2^nd verse wit Danja and his “Clientelle;” luv all tha weights! My Rating: 4.3

07. “Everybody” feat. Lucky Starr

Hmm… No producer, but a Lucky one, here… >>> Ain’t realize tha feature was gon be a female (or young male, lol?); they sound nice on tha hook, though. Here comes tha 1^st verse from Danja, this time? Ooh, gets me even more anticipated for Dae~Dae!! Diggin’ tha “ain’t stuntin’ fa tha Gram” shit; I feel dat. This shit sounds nice fa tha south, strictly mobbin’! Even got tha Starr on tha 2^nd verse, here, as it’s like a Yo Gotti sequel to “Errbody”… Not bad; an okay collaboration… And, here’s King Dae~Dae on tha 3^rd verse, “catch a round, hold it down wit ya rounds;” fuckin’ love him!! Gotta luv livin’ tha life of a celeb!! Remember, Dae~Dae, you a celebrity!!! My Rating: 4.0

08. “Stopped Dat Jiggin’”

Don’t make me feel old!! That’s one thing I’ve been sufferin’ from: age anxiety!! Am I really tha same age Dae~Dae was when “Jock My Shoe Game” came out with Supa? I’ll be 28 next month; ahh!! It’s an honor, at times, but where in tha fuck did tha time go?! Don’t worry ‘cause “dat jiggin’” always lives on!! No producer listed… >>> Oh, I see; an ex-“pill” popper, here; I see… Still, a nice hook. I almost thought there was gonna be an opportunity fa pillz at one time, fa me, but since my brother died of an overdose, I don’t think there’s a chance. I’ll just stick to weed & edibles… Speakin’ of, here’s Dae~Dae wit dem “smoke clouds” on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through like a V.I.P.! Fuckin’ love tha vibe he bringin’ to tha table, here! Trust me! That 48-year-old that I be hangin’ with, her boyfriend’s dad’s house, when I’m there, I feel like a million-dollar celeb!! Here comes Danja on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some good lines and catchy rhymes, here; good shit! My Rating: 4.3

½time: Definitely feelin’ this CD a whole lot! Even Danja ain’t know your info, Dae, when I asked him, recently. Still, I’m sure I’ll hear from Dae soon… But, excellent rhymes and excellent vibes, here! Gotta luv this! A 4.4-rated CD, currently; y’all keep it comin’!!

09. “Sum Mo”

Trell It’s A Hit prolly provided a hit, here… >>> FUCK YEAH!!! Fuckin’ love tha Dae~Dae hook, here; really slammin’ down tha catchiness!!! Definitely diggin’ tha 1^st verse from Dae, too! What a fuckin’ champ!! No wonder why I’m inspired by him, like tha rest of my idols!! Definitely see this bein’ my favorite track off this CD, no doubt!! And, here comes Danja on tha 2^nd verse, goin’ off on this beat wit dem good drugs! Funny how I don’t mind tha “money” shit, most of tha time, here, on this CD; tha vibe sets it off! Beat sounds like it has some classic Baton Rouge vibes in it, like we was in 2008!! My Rating: 4.8

10. “My Niggaz”

What could it be like? No producer listed… >>> This one sounds nice; good shit on tha hook, Dae~Dae! You’ve always been a serious dude when it comes ta err-thang! “My niggaz answer my phone.” I tried googlin’ your name/location and a number came up. I tried textin’ it but I ain’t hear anything back from it…; must be expired? Hope you get my package when it arrives… Hearin’ you on tha 1^st verse and it sounds nice; luv how you’ve been inspired! And, I luv how I’ve been inspired by you! Imagine me comin’ through PA wit tha kinda clothes you wear and how you act? They wouldn’t know what ta do!! They would just luv it!! You really holdin’ down tha hook; gotta luv it!! Sounds like Danja gave a shout out ta “Doe-Doe” on tha 2^nd verse, here? If so, make sure you get dat boy back in tha music biz!! Dude ain’t serious about it, anymore, and after I was high/a lil’ on dat drank and messaged him that I was inspired by him, he said, “Your message might make me get back in tha biz… Even if I do it one more time, I’ll do it for you!” Hope it happens! Good shit, Danja! My Rating: 4.5

11. “She Looking” feat. Tha G.T.

A random thought: I was FrankieThaLuckyDog and now, thanx to Percy Keith for tha name, I’m now “Frank Calhoune!” Trell It’s A Hit on tha beat! >>> Definitely anticipatin’ tha beat, here! He must be inspired by them B-Reals, them Q-Reds, them $hop With Kens, them Mouses, them Savages, ya know? Sounds like it in tha beat… Ooh, starts wit Danja, so I can be even more anticipated fa Dae~Dae! Sounds nice; lol @ tha “thots.” Good shit ta vibe off of… And, got G.T. on tha hook, comin’ through wit dat good shit! Kinda sounds a lil’ more mainstream than usual fa him on tha hook but you know this shit still goes off… And, even got G.T. on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit dat grown consistency! We all gotta keep this goin’ at all times! OMG, can’t wait fa tha Dae~Dae verse!! Imagine if I was fulla dat shit?! Luv how I’m smilin’ like I’m anticipatin’ Louisiana music at 20 years-old, lol! Luv how he always stays focused! Yup, “J’s;” dude been always ‘bout lookin’ sharp!! Can’t wait ta meet him, one day! Did tha damn thang off this beat!! My Rating: 4.4

12. “Hit The Highway”

What I luv doin’, though no producer listed… >>> A deeper voice fa Dae, here? Sounds like ‘90s rap, here, and I’m diggin’ it, especially him rappin’ ‘bout “purp!” Can we shmoke, like, six bowls like when I did with that 48-year-old, Dae~Dae, lol? Gotta luv how he luvs ta “get fucked up;” who doesn’t?! Great obsession wit “purple,” too; I must luv green, lol! Imagine hearin’ this off a geeb (gravity bong) hit?! Sounds like it’s neva endin’!! OMG, so many Dae~Dae bars; more than 16!!! Almost sounds like he remakin’ notes or somethin’ on tha hook, but I’m fuckin’ luvin’ it!! Was thinkin’ ‘bout tha old BluBlack music from ’08, earlier today, like, “We’ll prolly neva duplicate this feeling.” However, this a pretty-close chance!! I still got tha passion somewhere!! Here comes Danja on tha 2^nd verse, rappin’ a lot about himself and his “Danja Muzik,” here; not bad, but I felt Dae’s catchiness and “purp” obsession much betta, lol! Just luvin’ that hook; makes me feel like a boss fa almost 28!! Close to a top-rated?! My Rating: 4.8

13. “Fallin’ In Love”

Hmm…; no producer listed… >>> Beginning sounds like bein’ lost in tha zone… Tha both of y’all sound nice on tha hook; gotta expose dem hoes! Good shit from Dae on tha 1^st verse, here, comin’ through wit how he controls tha “dick,” lol. And, here’s Danja, meetin’ ‘em “on dat Gram.” Yup, tha “Gram” has brought some of us together… For me, not really Louisiana artists, but urban explorers! Yup, gotta luv exploring abandoned areas! My Rating: 3.9

14. “Stacking N Flipping” feat. G-Money

Thought it was a producer on tha ID, but it’s not; not sure what to expect… >>> Sounds pretty nice fa this beat and tha hook sounds nice wit Dae~Dae on it; nice…, jammin’… Hearin’ tha 1^st verse and it must be this G-Money dude; pretty nice fa a “Money” name… Good shit wit an energetic voice fa tha south! Ooh, here comes my boy, Dae~Dae, on tha 2^nd verse! Nice job rappin’ on this beat! Always soundin’ like someone you can look up to, whether he underground or not! Like, what was that “Wat U Mean” “Dae Dae” (no symbol) from Georgia thinkin’ with tha name? On tha video, I left a comment on there, sayin’, “He took his name from tha Dae~Dae (with symbol) from Baton Rouge!” They prolly will hate on it, but guess what? It’s true! Here comes Danja on tha 3^rd verse, comin’ through wit some good shit, as always… “Been doin’ it since tha ‘90s;” good, even though I ain’t got no music from then from Danja! Not sure if any exists? My Rating: 4.2

15. “Anything Can Happen”

True dat, though I’m fearless now, since my brother died! No producer listed… >>> Definitely a nice beat, here! Oh, Dae~Dae got tha voice of an undaground God!! Wonder what he thought of his voice when he first heard it, lol?!? Hearin’ Danja on tha 1^st verse and it sounds pretty catchy ova this beat… Oh, just tha way this sounds, it sounds like when rappers like Doe-Doe started rappin’ in tha mid 2000’s! Oh, mane, here comes Dae~Dae on tha 2^nd verse! Honestly, I wanted to give my job up to get back to tha consistency I used to bring to tha table! I was neva meant to be a full-on workaholic, but it turned that way, thanx to DJ B-Real blockin’ me! Great shit, Dae, as always!! My Rating: 4.4

16. “N The Condo”

No producer… >>> Different-soundin’ beat wit heavy bass, here… A faster-rappin’ Dae~Dae on tha 1^st verse, here… Kinda sounds different but I’m diggin’ this hook; ahh, that word! “Order!” Ahh! That word, “manager,” “donut,” “work,” “overtime,” etc.; those words!! Here comes Dae with that speed on tha 1^st verse, comin’ through wit dat good shit, still… Here’s Dae…n…ja, lol, on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit a lil’ faster sound, but still some nice rhymes… My Rating: 4.1

17. “Make It Home”

Nice title to end it, though no producer listed… >>> Neva really fucked wit tha songs wit tha sampled voices in tha background, but I’m diggin’ this start… “Tryna make it past 100 Gs;” can I make it happen fa you, Dae? I promise you, you will achieve it before you die!! Baleedat!!! If you eva need anything, I’m here, bruh! Good shit you spittin’ ova this beat, Dae! And, here comes tha Danja’d one on tha 2^nd verse, comin’ through wit some nice shit ta hold thangz down! Diggin’ how it slowed down at 2:44! Nice lil’ effect ta end this shit off! Definitely feelin’ this, surprisingly! My Rating: 4.5

Overall: What an excellent CD/collaboration project and return to my Louisiana reviewz!! Really felt what y’all brought to tha table, especially tha beats y’all chose!! Excellent vibes; gotta feel like a big-time celebrity!! Keep doin’ tha damn thang and Dae~Dae, get back in tha spotlight so you can show “Dae Dae” (no symbol) who’s boss!!!
