Mixtape Review-It’s Better This Way by Big K.R.I.T.
Mixtape Review-It’s Better This Way by Big K.R.I.T. by Dan-O Would it be controversial if I said K.R.I.T. would already be a legend in his own time if he was white? Would it be outrageous for me to say that he would be standing next to Drake in sales if he was from New York?…

Mixtape Review-Candy, Diamonds & Pills by Gangsta Boo
Mixtape Review-Candy, Diamonds & Pills by Gangsta Boo by Dan-O Gangsta Boo has been insinuating this point for years in interviews but let me just state it frankly. Do not compare Boo against other rappers; male rappers, female rappers it doesn’t matter. She has lived an entirely different journey; a better comparison would be against…

Mixtape Review-Good Day in The Ghetto by ST 2 Lettaz
Mixtape Review-Good Day in The Ghetto by ST 2 Lettaz by Dan-O This project is different. It isn’t just that it features an all-star guest line up (Migos, Stalley, Mic Strange). On Good Day he rhymes “banging my old lady buck nekkid on top of them polo sheets” with “four more weeks til my n_…

Mixtape Review-Murder For Hire by Kevin Gates
Mixtape Review-Murder For Hire by Kevin Gates by Dan-O My Kevin Gates honeymoon period was so great. Listening to the Luca Brasi mixtape was like seeing Manny Pacquiao take Marco Antonio Barrera apart piece by piece(in 2003) and thinking “who is this kid?”No feeling quite like being floored by the pure versatility and talent on…

Mini-Mixtape Review-Mardi Gras 2 by Juvenile
Mini-Mixtape Review-Mardi Gras 2 by Juvenile by Dan-O I have been on the craziest Juvenile binge lately. I’m talking Solja Rags, Tha G Code, Juve The Great, Reality Check and that was before he dropped his newest mixtape Mardi Gras 2. What has already been said is that Juvenile reinvented where the catchy part of…

Song Review-O Lord by Boosie Bad Azz
Song Review-O Lord by Boosie Bad Azz by Dan-O When Boosie got out of jail we knew that new music was destined to hit but I’m not sure anyone anticipated the raw nerve emotion of Life After Deathrow. Its way more bravely naked than I expected. This is a 2pacish mental space where the force…

Mixtape Review-Underground Cassette Tape Music by Gangsta Boo & Beatking
Mixtape Review-Underground Cassette Tape Music by Gangsta Boo & Beatking by Dan-O In no uncertain terms, Underground Cassette Tape Music is the best singular Southern Hip Hop mixtape of 2014. That’s a pretty high compliment in a year full of energized weirdo Southern bounce. The first track Come Off Dat begins with a first rapped…

EP review-OTR2SJ by Scotty ATL
EP review-OTR2SJ by Scotty ATL by Dan-O My blood boils when I hear censored music. By the time the 90’s came around I was arguing with my parents for the permission to listen to rap music. If you turned on the television people were driving steamrollers over my favorite rap album. C. Delores Tucker had…

Mixtape Review-Air Time by Mouse On Tha Track
Mixtape Review-Air Time by Mouse On Tha Track by Dan-O Some people can’t help but be fun. It’s in their bones. In my generation we all looked at Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day and snickered. It seemed like he just couldn’t stop making fun bankable pop music no matter what he tried to do.…
