MESSY MARV - DA NEW FRANK LUKAS

MESSY MARV

DA NEW FRANK LUKAS

DAT NEVA WORE DA MINK COAT

2012

All original tracks and though only 8 tracks long

(why man?) this really feels and sounds like the follow-up

to last year's great Kontraband release.

Anyway, regardless, this album is pretty fuckin dope.

The production is so damn good and one of the best

i've heard in a while. Not sure who the producer is

but his style is top notch and so rich and musical. That alone

makes this a must have. For me Messy even tops it

with his style of rappin and laid back delivery.

I love it. Perfect marriage.

I don't need to do a track by track review here because

it'll be pretty much the same for all. Pretty unusual.

Sick production, Messy killing it on the verses and a laidback approach

 for the hooks which make the whole feel complete.

Not sure if this will appeal to everybody, but i'm sold. 

Pretty sure anybody into Bay Area or West Coast Rap 

would agree to a certain extent though.

1. Intro

2. Block First 5/5

3. 2 Steppin 5/5

4. Want Me To Quit 5/5

5. Life's A Trip 4/5

6. Gon Feel Me 4.5/5

7. All Nite Long 5/5

8. Sosa 5/5

9. You Gotta Pay Me 5/5

Had to add the official video. Love this one.

If only it was twice as long, it would've been the album to beat this year.Still, as a fan i'll take anything solid from Messy.Just loose the Boy Boy name, nobody calls you that except you man. Overall Score: 9.5/10
