STEVIE STONE - ROLLIN STONE

STEVIE STONE
ROLLIN' STONE
2012

Tech N9ne presents...That's all you need to know.
That and Stevie is a beast. This goes real hard and should
not go unnoticed! Sick production and Stevie killing
every verse. What more do you want!
Stevie's voice is pretty 'hardcore' and some people
might not like his type of roughness but really once
you get used to him and get his talent on the mic 
you're in for yet another Strange Music treat.
1. Intro
2. Get Buck
Perfect example of my above statement. 
Awesome beat and Stevie flows over it like
it's nothing. Last verse is amazing. 5/5
3. 808 Bendin ft. Tech N9ne
Having Tech on this i expected a lot, but
the beat is the setback here. Not bad but
because Tech is Tech, you expect greatness
every damn time he features. And though his verse
is pretty tight, it's not quite a classic cut. 3.5/5
4. Perfect Stranger
Man this is dope. Even without Krizz Kaliko, Stevie
holds his own on the hook and it works. 4.5/5
5. Cash Out ft. Krizz Kaliko
Nice collabo joint with Kaliko but it never really
lifts off for me. 3.5/5
6. Keep My Name Out Ya Mouth ft. Kutt Calhoun
This reminds me of the good ol' New Orleans type
tracks back in the days. This could've been on
Body Headbangerz for those who remember. 5/5
7. Oneness ft. Peetah Morgan
The combination of a hard beat like this with the
jamaican hook is pretty golden in my book. 
Stevie's verses go hard on this on top. I love it! 5/5
8. My Remedy (skit)
9. My Remedy
Awesome piano melody that sucks you straight in.
Stevie's hook and verses are the cherry on top. 5/5
10. Dolalr General ft. Yelawolf
Nice to see a Yelawolf feature here and it's one of the
best tracks of the album. The beat is sick and both
Stevie and Yelawolf kill it. Stevie reminds of 
DMX is certain spots. Do wish Yela had a verse aswell, 
that felt kinda lackluster to me. 5/5
11. Raw Talk ft. Hopsin & Swizzz
Not feeling the beat, the rest doesn't matter. 2.5/5
12. Goin Down ft. Big Scoob & Spaide Ripper
Another very mediocre beat that doesn't allow any of
the artists to shine. A true filler joint. 2.5/5
13. Mosh
Third consecutive track i don't care for. 2.5/5
14. 2 Far
Not bad and it does grow on you. 4.5/5
15. My Life
Very mellow and slow track but man this is nice!
A track to just close your eyes to and enjoy. 5/5
16. The Road ft. M.A.G.num P.I., Wreckonize, Bernz
Should've hold more punch in the hook maybe , but the
verses are pretty frickin dope from everyone. 5/5


Apart from those three tracks toward the end, this album 
is really great and fits in perfect in Strange Music's catalogue.
Expect more great things from Stevie and let's hope
him and Tech can provide something better next time around. 
Overall Score: 8.9/10
