This was another first of my hip-hop albums. After buying my debut CD's I was already really liking the vibe I got from my hip-hop library; which at the time was only consisting of 3 albums; yet there was so much more to look in qualities of hip-hop. This wasn't an actual album, and if you don't know me personally you probably don't have it, although that'd be cool if you did. It was basically just a mix-tape made from a friend of mine. And at the time I wasn't aware that people could just rap over tracks and just turn out something good. When I first heard I was just so surprised of the quality and thought how amazing was that he could make this music. And I really like the feel of most of the tracks, and the raps are all quite good.
There are a few tracks that are actually favorites of my whole selection of songs, so the mixtape is definitely worth checking out. This was actually the same friend from my 1st post. At the time he was just selling CDs and now he has quite a bit more material.
A lot of the tracks you can find on Youtube. You can search him on the site by K Demps. Now he just goes by Demps. Hopefully this will help you understand more as I review tracks. There feels vary throughout the album.
Songs that are more upbeat and fun:
I Love Weekends- Parody to "I Love College"
Fire Side Rhymes- Pretty sure it was a freestyle. Still quite awesome.
Outta World- Really fun beat, kind of a goofy and funny song.
L.A.X.- No doubt the sickest track on the album, a ridiculous flow and a great instrumental.
Verbal Threat- Vicious attack to other rappers out there.
Summertime- Another great highlight of the album. The beat just makes you feel great.
We Reminisce- Perhaps a whole story about him and a certain girl. Really nice beat to ride to.
More Emotional or Laid Back:
Nothing Like Me- A gritty and realistic story, that really progresses throughout the song.
Back To the Old Ways- A track that he reminisces on, and reflects on changes.
Gold- A great cover of Kanye West's Drive Slow. Really great rhymes.
Family Business- A very sentimental song, about his sister. Just listen.
Key to the City- Really chilled out beat, makes everything around you slow down.
Ctown 2001- I believe that this is the best track on the album, so much nostalgia.
I will definitely try and review most of these throughout the summer, but I do have some other projects I plan to review. Make sure you have a great summer, and bump some good tunes.
