GANGSTA BLAC
RETURN OF THE GANGSTA
2011
Finally some new Memphis ish and who
better then Gangsta Blac to satisfy my
Memphis Rap needs. But if ya don't know,
Manson Family just released their latest and it's also
on par with some tight features from the likes of
Kingpin Skinny Pimp, DJ Squeeky, Tommy Wright III,
K-Rock, Lord Infamous& many more. Good shit!!
Anyway back to the album. It starts off real
tight with a dope beat from Montana Trax, who
never dissapoints and is one of my favourite
Memphis producers who is always consistent
(besides DJ Paul & Juicy j and of course DJ Squeeky).
After the great "Gangsta Gangsta" it continues with
an amazing Drumma Boi beat giving Blac the
basis to make one raw-ass track. Fuck i love it!
What follows is some hard songs that don't really
stand out, but they nevertheless provide.
"I Be" got some fierce synth play.
"Wanna Be" goes straight back to the good 'ol
Memphis days. Damn this still goes hard and
Gangsta Blac is a beast. Another favourite.
And it continues to please with "Promise", a
smoother track but the production and feel
is top notch. And you know Blac killed this aswell.
A couple of okay tracks follow, but then
"Head Nod" comes on and i swear I wanna
knuck and buck and get crunk like a mu'fucka.
Hard as hell and a definite favourite. Whoooo.
It doesn't stop there. "Who Am I" has got
some crazy sampling going on from Montana Trax.
"Stand Fo" got the island samples throughout and
provides a nice beat for Gangsta who goes all in.
Another 5/5 for me. And speaking of perfect 5/5,
"7 Days"!! I'm hooked on this shit right here.
Gangsta Blac kills it with an ol'skool memphis flow
over one of the best beats of the alb.
If that's not enough for you, "Click Is Thick"
follows and it even tops "7 Days"...Oh lordy lord,
this is my favourite track bar none.
I wish the album stopped at this point cuz
that would've been a perfect ending.
Of the last 4 tracks only "4 Da Town" pulls me in
though the last track "Shine" is really nice too.
Gangsta Blac has always been a personal favourite
in the Memphis scene and was one of the first that
truly got me hooked on it all. I'm glad he still got it
and can still put out quality music. He is definitely
underrated and though this album will fly
way below the radar, it is up there as one of the
better releases this year with nine 5/5 rated tracks.
Overall Score: 9/10
