3.4/5

17. Walk Wit Me Playa – “if you don’t know, you on that Stacey Dash tip Homie you Clueless”. This hook is subpar. “and I do it do death like I gotta life sentence”. the hook isn’t so much as subpar as it just isn’t mixed good.

26. Goodbye/Outro – Beat fits the tone of the song. Lyrics is in here. Alotta different quotes here. “When it come to work, they like Tommy off Martin” lol.

Back In The Building? well I’m the Landlord.

I feel this was a solid project. However this lacked versatility with the content, it was only every few songs that there was something with substance or conceptual. This was stereotypical mixtape in my opinion and the recording quality or mixing didn’t help. As an actual MC with your craft as far as flow and delivery goes it’s there.

Creativity and Originality could be upped a bit, Still not bad at all. I would just invest in a better studio or home studio set up or who knows just learning to mix does the trick. The beat selection was love/hate, at times you picked really good ones that I’ve even used or just liked the original production then some of the original production was Soundclick Right Click Save As.

Overall Review: I’d like to see you back in the buildin, maybe on top of it. Do the math for overall score. Letter grade I feel this was C.
