Bobby Woody - Roland (Telegraph Ave Remix)


Hey Trekkies, and Nerds! I'm feeling bad because I realized that I didn't put on my signature introduction. I've really been out of it, so I'm going to revamp it for this one. Ayo, it's me: Bill Nye's 2nd cousin aka the ORIGINAL black nerd aka the REAL Carlton Banks aka the Blacker Hacker aka Big Ghost's Prodigy aka the 3rd realest nigga in the game aka Game of Spades, but you may just know me by fake name on the streets: Waverly Spades. Today I have with me, a friend of mine, Bobby Woody's latest track. I haven't put him on here since his "Rollin In Da Deep." (hahah been a while, dude.) While Bobby is a great rapper, I've always felt that he was producer first, and this one is his latest beat. (This is an instrumental remix of Telegraph Ave from Childish Gambino's new album "Because The Internet.") His rapping is fast paced, all over the place, and confident in his insecurities and his beats are a reflection of that. When it starts, you have no idea where it's going to go, but then, you hear that "Chicks Love Bobby Woody." It's a lot of the little things that make this track. The piano lines are easily a standout. That weird percussive synth thing that plays around with the hats. This dude even sings for a bit (or at least I think that's him. I didn't hear that part in the orignal. lol.) Overall, this is a great track. I was listening to the original nonstop before I heard this. Good ass job.

Twoiney Lo - Ransom Freestyle



Before I say anything, the quality is horrible. Whoever mixes Twoiney's tracks, get your shit together. Like damn son, you had one job! lol.
If you don't already know Twoiney Lo, he's a rapper from Baltimore. He's head of Baltimore Group, NWM (Nothing Without Motivation) and attends Polytechnic Institute. (Go Parrots?)
This Ransom verse was the first of Twoiney's Twoiney Lo Thursdays. I'm assuming that since I'm a week late on this, a new one will be dropping again tonight. Now that I say it aloud, I feel like Twoiney Lo Tuesdays would've been better because it flows a bit more, but nonetheless, I like the consistency! As a supporter of Baltimore music, I believe I've been listening to Twoiney for about a year too. I'm not a big fan, but I can say that this is probably the best verse I've heard from him. (2nd best migiht be Bonfire with Ronny.) Even though this is the hardest I've heard from him, it still not articulate enough in my opinion. Twoiney needs to learn to distinguish himself, but not sound like a somewhat more competent version of Waka. One of his lines was "I heard they getting money, but they only slanging knicks." While a tad bit typical, I thought that was funny, but then one of his later lines was "How can you snow shovel without a shovel" and I was disappointed  While I could go on about Twoiney, I don't want to give you a full detailed review of his music based on one songs and the singles I've heard from him. I'll wait until his Hungry for Greatness mixtape to drop.

Shwaze Collins - Forever Dope


Adrian sent me this a few weeks ago around the time I put up Jay Verze's interview! I told him I'd put his tape up, but I feel bad because I've yet to do it! lol. But here it is! The reason this review didn't come sooner is because I already listened to the mixtape and for the review, I have to listen to each song over and put in a little more thought. Usually, I wouldn't mind, but school is hard work. Speaking of that, I just got my Interims. Someone tell me why I don't have all A's, please.
Ok, back on topic. Adrian "Shwaze" Collins is a 19 year old emcee from Baltimore, MD. Working his way up in the scene, you probably know who Shwaze somewhat is. If you don't, you've most likely at least heard him on a few Jay Verze songs or Brandon Woody's Power Circle remix. I like the dude, and here is his new mixtape, Forever Dope. My 2 cents are below.

Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Powered by DatPiff.com

Forever Dope [Prod. by Sdot Fire] - Ahhhhh Is that Street Fighter? I am already entertained. Nerd boy happy. That gets extra points. The intro is awesome. When the song starts, the Sdot produced track is FIRE (Pun intended). This first song is a nice taste of the lyricist Shwaze is.
"I ain't saving you hoes. What I look like? Private Ryan?"
4.2/5

The Grind (ft. Juice) [Prod. by Scrilla Beats] - Ok, I don't like this song as much as the last one, but it's okay. This is one of those songs I try to get girls to booty dance on me with (if only, if only). The beat alone makes you feel whizbang. I don't think I'm familiar with Juice, but he did a cool verse. That chorus is mixed roughly. Their verses didn't really impress me, but it's an aiight song.
2.7/5

We Make Money [Prod. by Y1] - Y1 produced this? Like, the rapper Y1? I didn't even know he made beats! Haha the beat alone is feel good. Collins threw on a few hot verses. The song is beautiful. I would say that if the song wasn't mainly about that money money life, it would be perfect, but this sounds like one of those songs that would be in the background of a montage of niggas throwing money around after they robbed a bank or something (sort of like in The Town, Tower Heights, or when the dude stole all of that money in Jumper). lol
4/5

Fame [Prod. by Dre Beats] - First off, I'd like to say that fame isn't everything, but let's be honest. We all want it. The beat is stupendous and Shwaze's vocals really compliment it. I like it. I feel like Shwaze should've put Jay Verze on the track. That would've been really dope. To the producer named "Dre Beats," as long as Dr. Dre and his headphones are around, that's probably not a good name.
"I can't use euphemisms if the youth don't get it."
4.7/5

Shellshocked (ft. Geter) [Prod. by Lexi Banks] - I'mma be brutally honest. I don't like this one. that's all. (y'all know I loathe trappin beats.) I guess the verses were cool.
2/5

Do It [Prod. by Sdot Fire] - When the beat drops and Collins' starts rapping, I'm just dancing around like Bill Cosby, over there. This song is hot. I like it. I'm not too fond of the chorus, but the rest is nice.
3/5

My Life (Interlude) [Prod. by Piz Corleone] - The first line that I really heard and made me think was "It's niggas tryna stop my shine, but it's Shwaze, baby!" I was just like, what the fuck are you saying, bro? But the rest of the song is cool. At times, he switches from typical rapper to lyric.
"Should I sell that shit they measure on a triple beam just so that y'all nigga can't appreciate me?"
3.3/5

Unstoppable (ft. Ta'Ler) [Prod. by Zone Beats]- I like how his last line on the interlude was "I'm Unstoppable" and it goes into this. The beat is FIRE. Azula ain't got nothing on Zone with this one. "It's a cold world, but I'm not from the Ville." lololol. I like this song. That is all.
"I have a dangerous mindset. Blind eyes, quiet is kept."
3/5

Party Everywhere (ft. Yung Ram) [Prod. by Piz Corleone] - In this song, Shwaze tolerably sounds like everyone on MMG, but Ross and Gunplay. Ram sounds like Gunplay. lol. I think it's the beat. Beats like that  have been rapped on a certain way for so long, that people don't change it up, you know? like this sounds like it could've been on Self Made 2. The Chorus even sounds like Meek Mill bawling for no real reason. This song has me doing my Bill Cosby swag dance, but damn, where's the originality?
2.4/5

The Return [Prod. by Sledgren] - Sledgren be on some Lex type shit sometimes. Anybody in the mood for something a little more.. tardigrade? It feels like Shwaze's flow gets off at time. I don't really know. The song is aiiight. I hear a lot of those typically recycled lyrics in this song.
"Pillaging their villages like I am a pirate." lol. pirates don't leave the ship. c'mon guise
2/5

Gang Green Gang (ft. Rickie Jacobs) [Prod. by Zone Beats] - Ok, I didn't like the intro to the beat, but I really fucks with this one. I had that Obama face when the beat dropped and Shwaze started rapping. Rickie Jacobs just killed it as usual. What could I have expected though?
"Better watch what you say son. They don't play fair where I'm from."
3.7/5

Devil In A Tight Dress/Curse (Interlude) [Prod. by Lexi Banks] - Sooo, I was expecting Kanye West's Devil In A New Dress to start playing, but instead, I'm hearing the end of Fancy by Drake looped. I'm not complaining. It's a smooth intro and I like it. Collins goes on about that one perfect girl, that we all dream of. That hook is hot, too. I know it's sampled, but I just love how it was placed. While describing this girl, Shwaze definitely gets cheesy, but it's cute. When it goes to acapella, I can hear that it's heartfelt, but still cheesy, you know? I like it all though. I feel like it would've been cooler if they were two separate track; it would sound like two different chapters of a story. I like how in the end, we find out, it's all just a dream.
4.6/5

Self Made (ft. Y1) [Prod. by Scrilla Beats] - Ok Shwaze's 1st verse sounds horribly mixed. TIP: Please don't let your mixtapes have a horrible mix. The beat and the hook makes this sound like some XV type stuff. I like. Aahhhh I heard another "Green like Cee Lo" line. That has to be one of the most overused lines since "Fuck You" came out. While I don't like Shwaze's verses that much, Y1 put some magic on here. It makes me wonder what Y1 would sound like on a song with XV. (Can we make that happen?) "Jay Verze the future. Shwaze the underground king and I'm the overlord of rap dropping brown things." That one line in Y1's verse makes me really think about the whole ISMG team in a light of where they fit, like  a puzzle. it's cool.
"I try to be great, but everybody in the city loves to hate"
2.4/5

Bullseye [Prod. by Scrilla Beats]
- Scrillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Scrilla is that nigga for this beat. lol. Shwaze didn't kill it, but it's listenable. I'm pretty sure I heard him say in the chorus "I'm chillin like a chandalier." lolwut? I hear a lot of weak lines that don't really make since to me, but I'm not gonna go into that. The chorus feels so off to me.
1.9/5

Heavy Hitters (ft. Jay Verze & Yung Ram) [Prod. by Sdot Fire] - When I heard the beat, I started thinking of Mercy. I was ready for the Rick Hertz tag. I feel Shwaze could've went harder. Verze killed it. That lil nigga definitely sounds like Wiz on this. lol. I never noticed that until my brother told me yesterday, and I'm hearing it a bit, but it's somewhat different.. It's cool. I like that. Ram's verse is eh
2.6/5

Outro [prod. by SdotFire] - This is probably my 2nd favorite track. The beat speaks for itself and Shwaze compliments.
4.2/5

Ok, so Shwaze is a decent artist. The dude really has potential in my eyes, but the problem with that is that I've been thinking he's had potential for the past year or two. He needs to quit with the typical lines and make each and every one on that 2004 Lil Wayne level. Also, almost every song seems like something that would be played in the club. I feel like Collins needs some variation in his style. The best artist can create more than the feelings of love and fun. The mixtape is very decent in my opinion. I expect better from you Shwaze!

Return Of The Mack - Mack Scott

That cover art is just fucking gangster. Ain't it? The thug life definitely chose Mack. When this dropped, this guy went hood platinum in less than 24 hours. Dope, right? We all know I'm a pimp, so this is my type of music. I had to check it out. See what I really thought about it below.



Muhfuckin Mack - So the first track is self titled. That's something that doesn't happen often. This song feels all 80's. Like the Black Dynamite of rap music. (Does anyone watch that show?) It's one of those long verses and Mack Scott just tells us who he is. A rapper with a pimp flow. It's sick. I like this.
"Purple suit and Gator Boots, bitch I think I'm Slickback"
3/5

It's Not A Game (Prod. by Clams Casino) - The beat.. It took me a minute, but I definitely fucks with it. Mack just goes hard from the beginning to the end. I like the song and at the same time, I don't know.. The outro on the beat was nice though.
2.7/5

Cadillac Deville (Prod. by Pimp C) - ahhh yeah. This song is smooth. This song reminds me of an old Snoop Dogg track. This is definitely some pimp shit. This is one of those songs where you take out that Old School Caddy and turn the windows down.
3/5

Pimp $lap (Prod. by Oab Jenkins)- some more pimp shit. The beat is just trill. I fucks with that. Not much to say besides the fact that this a dope song.
"Looks like Cinderella slipped the glass off or her sole, but I won't save her"
4/5

Purple Naked Ladies (Prod. by Piz Corleone) - As soon as I heard the white girl say "Dosha Burna Beats," I was like, "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhh. This nigga got Piz on the track." It amazes me how popular Piz is here in Baltimore. Doesn't he live in Louisiana? lol. I like this song. It makes me chuckle a bit. The lyrics are starting to get typical. A lot of talking about bitches, money, and drugs. The beat is smooth, though.
2.9/5

Notorious M.A.C.K. (Dreamin') - This is niiiice. This is chillll. That Big Poppa instrumental. yasssssssssssssssss. This song is more focused on his dreams and I really fucks with that. If he had an original beat this chill, this would be the perfect track.
"Pick her up around 1' and then I bust. Kwame Brown"
4.3/5

Game (Interlude) (Prod. by SangoBeats) - ooooh. I like the beat already. Mack hasn't started rapping yet, This Sango guy is nice.
Oh so he's not going to rap? That's cool. Let the music speak for itself.
I don't like that guitar whatsoever, but it adds a bit to the ambiance. That's nice.
ahh that's better.
eww. weird guitar instrument again.
Saved by the bells.
5/5

It's Alright (Prod. by Jay Verze) (Prod. by Piz Corleone) - AHHHHHHH SHIT. JAY IS SINGING AGAIN. *hits two step.* Verze sounding emotional as shit. He getting into this shit. lol. Let me stop before he disowns my blog. This is another one of those break up songs. Piz laid down something smooth and Mack tells a story. So to that girl who seeing other dudes and messing around and other shit, it's alright. Rappers get more bitches anyway.
"Even Einstein was fucking wrong."
4.6/5

Nemi$i$ (Living Dead) - Oh snap. I wasn't feeling that beat at first, but then Mack starts killing it. This is dope! Oh wait. Did I just hear a Kony reference? lost points. Other than that, this is hot. A few typical gun/war references, that sorta thing, but it's cool.
"Niggas fiend for brain like zombies."
3/5

WHOTHEFUCKAREYOU (prod. by Butch Dawson) - So is he Jujuan Allen or Butch Dawson? Well whatever, Butch made a nice little beat. I like the hook. Some of the message gets a bit typical, but the feel of the song is pretty cool. I can  bump my head and do my swag dance to this.
"Killing is a hobby. I use beats as examples."
3.5/5

Stick Up Kids (93 WAVE SHXT) (ft. Butch Dawson) - Butch just killed this. I love his verse on this. Sorry, but it gives you a lot to work up to, Mack, and you did. again. Butch called himself Jujuan Allen. which should I call him. This is probably my favorite verse from Mike the whole tape. Fuck it, this is my favorite song. That's that shit I do like.
"Some call em criminals, gremlins, and straight villains. Niggas just like you chasing their dream to see millions."
5.2/5

Sam$on II (prod. by Oab Jenkins) - I like this beat, but honestly, it needs to be turned up. Nice to know the vocals are clean, but I like hearing the beat sometimes too! haha. The song is chill and as I think I said previously, I love chill songs. Of course the song is about drugs and I don't condone that, but the song is chill, so it's cool haha. The chorus is cool.
"I'm not your everyday, average, drug connoisseur. I'm your mentor. An icon. Someone you can rely on."
3.7/5

#AriEmmanuel (ft. Storee) (Prod. by G14) - Another song about the bitches. lol. I like this beat. The first verse is cool. It's all feel good. not much more to say about this. Whoever that was at 1:50 needs to work on that flow. that was a bit disastrous. Not the best ending to the tape, but it's cool.
2.6/5

Overall, the mixtape was decent. It was definitely some Pimp $hit. I'm a pimp over, so I fucks with that, nawmsaying? Mack tended to repeat a lot of the same messages of bitches, drugs, and money, but it's cool. At times, something doesn't rhyme, and it sounded a bit weird to me, but in the end, it's all chill, so I like it. I love the beats. There's nothing I just didn't like on the tape. I can say that. Go download it and support.

21117 (TwoElevenSeventeen) - Jay Verze

Welcome to the first real review here!



Young, Baltimorean emcee, Jay Verze has been hyping people up for this debut project since late 2011/early 2012. I can't remember exactly when, but he's definitely had us waiting and expecting something great. The Adolescent Phenom has entitled his mixtape "21117" after the zip code of his Owings Mills neighborhood. For the young rapper, this project is "where everything originated."

Time Out ft. R.Jay (Prod. by TrackOfficialz) -

This is a GREAT intro the mixtape. The news clipping really set the tone and describes the trouble that a preponderance of Baltimore teens seem to get into. The song itself vibes. TrackOfficialz made something epic and easygoing at the same time. Verze pretty much tells us he's going to make this work. We all know it's a struggle with this hip hop thing, and he is definitely ready for the journey that comes with it.


"This the playoffs. I'm going for that trophy, boy. The game is in the joint and all my niggas thirsty, boy."
4/5

Est. 1995 (Prod. by Flawless Tracks) -

Okay. The beat is HOT. I have to know, what sample is that? GodDAMN. Flawless Tracks aka The Best Kept Secret (Also one of Wale's producers) killed that. Jay Verze turned it into the perfect summer song. I love that "from the block" line. haha.


"I'm feeling real cool listening to Big and Pac. Listening to Nas. They listen to from the block"
5/5

Matter of Time (Prod. by IllMuzik) -

Another one of those songs "Last year, niggas didn't fuck with me, but now they see me coming up, so they want to be my friends, and since I reject them like they rejected me, they say I changed. Comeuppance is a bitch, ain't it?" While the message is a bit typical, I like the song. One thing that annoys me about songs like this is that he's not famous, yet. Let the fickle bandwagon.. for now. The beat is amazing.


"I had respect for some niggas. I had to take it back."
4/5

Boring Nights & Hip Hop (Prod. by Lexi Banks) -

Here's a song every rapper can relate to at one point in their life. I know I can haha. Jay tells us that the boring nights making hip hop pay off. At time, the lyrics get a bit cliche (mainly in the chorus), but the song is still on point. Lexi Banks made fire with this. Is it just me or does Verze's deep voice sound weird?


"Them long days and late nights, dawg that's how we get it."
3/5

Crusin' (Prod. by Lexi Banks) -

This was one of the singles to drop before the mixtape. Honestly, I don't like this song. The beat is okay and Jay Verze puts some nice bars in it, but overall I don't like it. I don't like the chorus either. It sounds so typical. Does Jay Verze even have this girl he speaks about in the chorus? lol. "On a rainy day. that's when I'm in my prime. That's when I'm in the studio writing these dope rhymes." I'm sorry, but that had to be one of the weakest lines... definitely my least liked song off of the mixtape.


"You say you got a big heart, but it's empty."
1.5/5

All The Calls Are Off ft. Jujuan Allen (Prod. by Kraze) - This beat already has that old school vibe that gets you to bump your head with that "ungh" face. Verze changed up the flow a little on this. That was cool. Jujuan added a dope verse. I fucks with it. That hook vibes. This here almost sounds like an old Wiz track. Another song with a typical topic, but it's a nice variation from most songs that talk about being a boss. *looks at William Leonard Roberts II* "I'm a cool, lil' nigga. 50 for a verse just to do something witcha" 3/5

Interlude - 12 O'Clock (Prod. by Dres'More) -

I know I'm a horrible person, but I can't help, but laugh. The beat has that smooth feel, and Verze is hitting the right notes and all, but when he just goes "Can you call me? ahh haaa," I picture him with that R. Kelly face. The song is actually nice, I just can't stop laughing. lol. And then this nigga slows it down so he can talk in his deep voice. like "i swear this is the life, man... I'm in here by myself. I got the lights off. I'm just relaxin, you know. I hope y'all feeling like me tonight." That's Jay Kelly, my nigga. lol.


5/5 because this track is demulcent, yet made me die laughing at the same time.

The Drama Story (Prod. by Mr. Kooman) -

Mr. Kooman has something beautiful here. The beat alone puts a tear to my eye. Verze starts out describes a drug dealer who got a girl pregnant that's facing his fear and the challenge of becoming a father. Next verse, he talks of a girlfriend of the drug dealer. Just as sad a story. One of my favorite tracks of the mixtape.


4.8/5

About That Time ft. Rome Duran (Prod. by Flawless Tracks) -

I love Rome Duran. The mixtape he dropped was amazing. Just seeing his name got me excited. Jay Verze switched up some flows and Rome sang an amazing hook. All of that with Flawless Tracks' production makes a beautiful song.


"Let me show you how passionate I get when you're around"
4.5/5

Teenage Lust Pt. 3 ft. Will (Prod. by Rip Knoxx) -

Who is Will? With a name like that, it's not easy to find you on Google, but the boy sings an amazing hook. Rip is one of my favorite producers in the Baltimore (and the DMV). The beat is hot. It's not exactly another love/breakup song. It's a bit more interesting.


2/5

One Night (Prod. by Scrilla Beats) -

This beat is so feel good. It's got that Summer feeling. Just something to bump with the windows down when you're riding the whip around on a nice summer day. I think this should get one of those white people, summer fun music videos. lol.


"My mind grew higher intensity cuz everything I'm doing today is going to be memories."
4.2/5

Hands Up ft. Tay West (Prod. by Scrilla Beats) -

THAT TENOR, MY NIGGA? WHO'S PLAYING THAT TENOR? WHAT'S THAT SAMPLE. GODDAMN SCRILLA. Tay West did a nice, little hook. It was a brevity, but still dope. Another one of those feel good tracks. A bit typical, but nothing unoriginal.


and again. THAT TENOR, MY NIGGA. YASSSSS
4/5

See You Later ft. Y1 & Rickie Jacobs (Prod. by Rip Knoxx) -

One question: Why is this the only censored song on the mixtape? lol. I know you have the radio ready versions, but this is the CDQ/Album version. This doesn't need to be clean (not that it's even THAT dirty). Another one of the singles released before. I believe this dropped on Valentine's Day as a breakup song or something of that sort.(A lotta songs dropped that day like this, like Bobby Woody did that Frank Ocean Remix, TyQuan and that Love Puppet track, and a plethora more..) I love this song. Jay Verze put down a hot verse, but then Y1 added some amazing stuff, and then Rickie Jacobs (probably my favorite rapper from Baltimore) really just KILLED IT. And Rip Knoxx never disappoints.


"Uncle Ruckus told me not to trust them new niggas, so what am I supposed to do?"
5/5

Feelin Like A Star ft. Starrz (Prod. by Luger Beats) -

This beat is hard. Originally when it dropped, I didn't like the song because I don't like that feel of beats, but it's something I can at least pretend to dance too. Starrz added an amazing verse.


"Sleepin on me, big mistake. I'm blowin up. landmine"
3.1/5

Let Go (Prod. by Lexi Banks) -

Awwwwwwwwwwww yeahh. I love Frou Frou and I love how Lexi sampled them. Does Verze even know that sample? lol. Frou Frou and Imogen Heap always make the nicest samples. Jay Verze just went hard on the beat though. I love this song. I don't even need to say anything more about this. Easily my favorite track on the tape.


"Every nigga be tryna claim a style, but they all be on to that same ish. Hood niggas be talkin money, but still be moving theme same bricks. Niggas talkin bout wifin girls, but niggas be on them same chicks." br 5/5

Having A Goodnight (Prod. by Flawless Tracks) -

Great beat. Great song. Nice way to end things. Enough said.


"Don't be surprised to get smacked when it's grind time."
4/5

My Place ft Shwaze Collins (Prod. by Twigg) - I don't understand the point of Bonus songs and I was wondering when Schwaze would get his feature on the tape. The beat is fire. I didn't like the chorus at first, but it grows on you. Jay Verze put down a nice verse and Shwaze killed it too.
"We never turning back, we turning pages"
3/5

The mixtape was a nice change from usual ascensions of most of the rap about gun toting and selling drugs here in Baltimore. One thing I didn't mention that I really like is Verze's use of time on the project. He's always like "uh. it's 4 in the morning" or something like that and even named the interlude "12 O'Clock." I don't know what it is, but something about that is just amiable. The one thing I don't like about it is that most of the beats come from producers on SoundClick that he most likely doesn't know. I know that Rip is a Baltimore dude and I couldn't find who Twigg or Kraze are. The rest: Guys on Soundclick. I respect there internet grind and they do make great beats, but I think a local artist like Jay Verze should go to some more local producers (Street Scott, MIC, Judah, Bobby Woody, King Midas, etc.) Overall, I like the project. It didn't live up to all of the hype I expected, but it's still pretty amazing! Jay Verze's lyrical content has room to improve, but the boy makes some nice songs. I can see him going far. Check out his mixtape and be sure to follow this kid for greater things in the future. 76% - C
