NEW & UPCOMING BAY AREA SLAPS

The Bay is knocking shit out the park!!

Here are some more releases out now or coming real soon!!

Wes' Wes' Y'all!

The Jacka's final album of his 3-part project

should be just as dope as the first two, The Indictment

and The Verdict. I can't wait to get it!

It's been a while since the last Yuk release,

and though this is a collabo album, i'll take it!

Always been a favourite of mine...this has

some real dope tracks on it and the west sound

is strong. Fuckin A! Love it!

A 3rd Cake & Ice Cream. I wasn't expecting it

and still need to check it out, but the first two,

especially the first one was straight dope!

Amp & Bossi are back with their second

Cop Heavy Gang (that was quick) and so far

it is sounding pretty similar with some tight

tracks and features...

Fresh out of incarceration and we can

expect a new P.S.D. album, Bullets & Bouquets.

I so can't wait. This dude is awesome!

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

out my favourite alb of these sick collabo features!

(These albs have these artists in common somehow...

I could've easily added a lot more like San Quinn/Messy Marv,

REVIEW

Finally another Mess solo album. And really, solo all the way. 
And boy does the boy boy deliver. Not one bad track. Au contraire, 
they're all fly as fuck. Production is that good and Messy just goes perfect 
with his lazyness flow. Every single track feels like you just wanna 
zone out and bump the shit out of the alb. I love it. 

Overall Score: 9.5/10
