Mixtape Review-Savage Holidays by Boosie Badazz by Dan-O Savage Holidays is the greatest Christmas rap album of all time.

It is not just his pain either. At the endContinue reading “Mixtape Review-Savage Holidays by Boosie Badazz”

Mixtape review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again by Dan-O Hip hop people say the same thing to each other about Kevin Gates.

Does Scooter see these new happier trappers andContinue reading “Mixtape Review-Jugg King by Young Scooter”
