Locksmith-The Green Box review
Locksmith-The Green Box review by Dan-O Locksmith never seems to exist on the same plane as rap music. In an era where everyone needs a slowed down DJ Screw-feeling salute to drank, Lock drops The Green Box mixtape and it’s most joyous and overpowering moment is the song Livin’ Loaded about getting “loaded from life”…

Song of the Year-Trillmatic by ST 2 Lettaz and DJ Illie Ill produced by Block Beattaz by Dan-O My favorite album through the first five months of 2013 is hands down the new ST 2 Lettaz The G…The Growth & Development. I knew this album was special when this song started (its track 2). The…

Chance the Rapper-Acid Rap mixtape review
Chance the Rapper-Acid Rap mixtape review by Dan-O Acid Rap is a startling first listen. I guess the prerequisite is being able to enjoy the playfully childish nasally delivery Chance the Rapper brings to every song. If you do, every verse comes out as an amorphous blob that seems like it could end and become…

Song of The Year-GA Dialect(feat. Couleen Lagon) produced by DJ Burn One and Cy Fyre by Dan-O Scotty is another artist who I thought I didn’t like but the more I saw the cover of his #FAITH mixtape on the coming soon section of Livemixtapes.com the more I found myself looking forward too it. Being…

My favorite Snoop Dogg song
Editorial Snoop Dogg featuring Kurupt and Charlie wilson-Up Jump Tha Boogie by Dan-O I grew up in the era of Snoop Dogg. The anticipation on his sophomore album was unrivaled. He dominated the Chronic and his first album was coming out of every headphone in my school, parents hated him and that helped. You know…

Song of the Year-GLC & Get Gwop-Pat Sajak (produced by CardoGotWings)
https://soundcloud.com/leonard-glc-harris/12-pat-sajack-prod-by Song of the Year-GLC & Get Gwop-Pat Sajak (produced by CardoGotWings) by Dan-O GLC is on a great run, when he dropped a collaborative mixtape (The Pulpit) with Get Gwop a little while ago, the only negative I could think of was the presence of an MC I was unfamiliar with. After all does…

Young Gully-HM(Hustla Movement)5 mixtape review
Young Gully-HM(Hustla Movement)5 mixtape review by Dan-O Talib Kweli did an NPR interview where he put Drake and Kendrick Lamar in the same category as rappers just talking about “sex, drinking, and partying” holding himself up as the single shining example of consciousness in hip hop. It was surprising cause Kweli has a great ear…

Song of the Year-Screw Ya’ll by Styles P and Scram Jones
Song of the Year-Screw Ya’ll by Styles P and Scram Jones by Dan-O Styles P is someone you always have to listen for. He goes through periods where his beat selection doesn’t quite mesh with his style but he always seems to come back to the best version of himself. Over the course of over…

Big K.R.I.T.-King Remembered In Time mixtape review
Big K.R.I.T.-King Remembered In Time mixtape review by Dan-O One of my favorite playlist creations was a straight up combination of two artists. Big K.R.I.T. and Bruce Springsteen, it makes more sense than you think. Both have the innate natural talent to create meaningful arena rock jams that make you shout and sing along without…

The Bad and The Ugly
The Bad and The Ugly by Dan-O King Louie- March Madness In the nature of full disclosure I never enjoyed the drill scene. It always seemed like Trap music made less fun. When picking from the world of Chicago drill King Louie has always been my favorite. He seems to have the most fun, and…
