Song Review-Lovely Day by Vic Mensa produced by Vic Mensa and Peter Cottontale
Song Review-Lovely Day by Vic Mensa produced by Vic Mensa and Peter Cottontale by Dan-O Anyone can be guilty of thinking too hard. When Vic Mensa dropped INNANETAPE I was excited to listen. This is someone who was burning up guest verses all over the place. It turns out that its fun with great production…

Mixtape Review-Ghetto Heaven by Cam’ron
Mixtape Review-Ghetto Heaven by Cam’ron by Dan-O Every year a mixtape comes out that defines head scratching fascination, full of the kind of mind numbing juxtaposition you’d never expect. Last year it was Shyne with a paranoid illuminati laden mob mixtape(https://freemusicempire.com/2012/10/30/shyne-gangland-mixtape-review/) delivered in cracked out Muppet voice. It was just as weird as that description…

Song of The Year-Sadderdaze by CJ Fly featuring Ab-Soul produced by BrandUn DeShay
Song of The Year-Sadderdaze by CJ Fly featuring Ab-Soul produced by BrandUn DeShay by Dan-O If you told me at the beginning of the year that CJ Fly would put out a mixtape (Thee Way Eye See It) so considerably better than the one Joey Bad@$$ would put out (Summer Knights) that it would feel…

Mixtape Review-Dreamchasers 3 by Meek Mill
Mixtape Review-Dreamchasers 3 by Meek Mill by Dan-O The Dreamchasers series of mixtapes have all seemed like big screen blockbusters that almost hit the mark. Something like the Oceans series with stars everywhere, slick lush backdrops but something missing. That something in my eyes was always cohesion. You could mark out the first two Dreamchasers…

Song Review-Humility by Jai Swift (produced by Jai Swift)
Song Review-Humility by Jai Swift (produced by Jai Swift) by Dan-O The bay area is a wildly contradictory and silly place. Every track seems to have more guests than could fit into the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine and somehow while everyone is featuring on everything, everyone is beefing with everyone else. So track lists are…

Mixtape Review-New Wave by Ibn Inglor
Mixtape Review-New Wave by Ibn Inglor by Dan-O I’m old enough that if I told you I’ve only listened to hip hop I’d have to be lying. I grew into it and found that pathway in what my young mind viewed as the exhilarating expression of emotion. I found a direct link from Johnny Rotten…

Song Review-Who Got That Gas? By DB the General
Song Review-Who Got That Gas? By DB the General by Dan-O This year DB the General has gone Tasmanian Devil on every track he’s stepped on. In the wake of his wild voice alterations and whirling dervish of threats he leaves tracks devastated. After dropping a twenty five track mixtape earlier this year called I…

Mixtape Review-Come As You Are by Audio Push
Mixtape Review-Come As You Are by Audio Push by Dan-O The title track on Come As You Are is the first song after the intro and has far less to do with the Nirvana song as it does The Pharcyde. It acts as a microcosm of the tracks that come after it. Nostalgia is a…

Song Review-Gone For A Minute by Humbo County
Song Review-Gone For A Minute by Humbo County by Dan-O This is the last song on a mixtape called Urple Vapes and it stands as a pretty sharp contrast to the rest of the music before it. Humbo County bounces from track to track throughout the material sounding like Weezy back when he was a…

Mixtape Review-Dick Brown’s Tall Tails of Foxy Cottontail by Go! Ricky! Go! Produced by DJ Burn One
Mixtape Review-Dick Brown’s Tall Tails of Foxy Cottontail by Go! Ricky! Go! Produced by DJ Burn One by Dan-O This mixtape is probably a concept album about falling for a stripper in Atlanta and realizing that chasing her isn’t worth it. I’ll be honest, the music is so dope that the concept escapes me. DJ…
