Mixtape Review-Beast Mode by Future x Zaytoven
Mixtape Review-Beast Mode by Future x Zaytoven by Dan-O I’m incorrect but I always think of Future as an amazing raw talent. The way basketball writers must have looked at Wilt Chamberlain. He’s not raw at all. The music always feels that way because of how he attacks it. A new project roll out for…

Mixtape Review-Preacher’s Son by Tut
Mixtape Review-Preacher’s Son by Tut by Dan-O In my mind Nipsey Hussle Mailbox Money is the most important mixtape I count as being 2015. Preacher’s Son is right after it. So many narratives come out of the first few listens that you can’t help but keep pursuing them. The battle between the knucklehead Tut who…

Song Review-If Skillz Sold featuring Siebz produced by Purp Dogg
Song Review-If Skillz Sold featuring Siebz produced by Purp Dogg by Dan-O Moss Da Beast did not release his #IfSkillzSold mixtape to shame the hip hop community for listening to the radio. The title is a way to get the discussion out of the way: Moss might never become popular by comparison to lesser rappers…

Mixtape Review-Mailbox Money by Nipsey Hussle
Mixtape Review-Mailbox Money by Nipsey Hussle by Dan-O I have said things about Nipsey Hussle like “If he broke in the 90’s he would be just another West Coast Gangsta rapper,” or “I don’t know why everyone cares so much about Nipsey Hussle?” Scarface turned it all around for me. In an interview he did…

Song review-Flexington by Project Pat produced by Lil Awree
Song review-Flexington by Project Pat produced by Lil Awree by Dan-O For any lovers of the Three Six Mafia sound, all of Project Pats solo mixtapes and albums are mandatory. This gem comes off of his newest mixtape Cheez N Dope 3. He is definitely the model Gucci Mane follows: horrifyingly descriptive lyrics sometimes bombastic…

Mixtape Review-Humble Hustle 3 by Young Moe
Mixtape Review-Humble Hustle 3 by Young Moe by Dan-O When I tell people that I adore Young Moe’s music they look at me cross-eyed. This is fully attributable to the fact that most people don’t know his music and he has a stupid name. The first time I was told of Moe’s awesomeness I certainly…

2014 FME MIXTAPE MVP=SHY GLIZZY
2014 FME MIXTAPE MVP=SHY GLIZZY by Dan-O Usually someone dominates the mixtape scene; this goes all the way back to 50 Cent clearing the landscape and being the name on everyone’s lips. 2014 wasn’t the year for that. Most artists figured out that a tipping point exists where beyond a certain amount of content you…

EP Review-PNDCOLOURS by PARTYNEXTDOOR
EP Review-PNDCOLOURS by PARTYNEXTDOOR by Dan-O It might be an understatement to call PARTYNEXTDOOR music seductive. His version of the OVO sound has the depth of an infinite space, pulling you deeper into it the more you listen. The bass is trampling and before you know it you’re so lost in the atmospheric splendor that…

Mixtape Review-Wheel Power by Remedy
Mixtape Review-Wheel Power by Remedy by Dan-O I listened to last years Lord Wheelin mixtape so much that it might have been the most debated project of 2013 for me. It was so solid but somehow didn’t feel great and I always made a pledge to myself that the only things worth reviewing or reading…

Song of The Year-Movin’ Bass by Rick Ross featuring Jay-Z produced by Timbaland
Song of The Year-Movin’ Bass by Rick Ross featuring Jay-Z produced by Timbaland by Dan-O I think my dream collaboration album would be Rick Ross, Jay-Z and Drake. Look at the songs they have all made together over the last few years! The difference in a Jay guest appearance on a Ross, Drake, or Jeezy…
