YUKMOUTH / THE REGIME - DRAGON GANG

YUKMOUTH presents THE REGIME

DRAGON GANG - THE ALBUM

2013

Download

After bumping this one, it's pretty clear

this is the better of the two latest Regime albums. 
If you don't know the roster, here's the artists featured:

Yukmouth, Lee Majors, Dru Down, Ampichino, Freeze,
Young Bossi, Kuzzo Fly, Boss Tone, Chop Black, T Lew,
Rah Mean, Chino Nino, Monsta, BG Bulletwood,
and of course still Tech N9ne
(who was given the two worst beats on the alb).
The majority is of course Yukmouth himself who
kills every track he's on!

1. Dragon Gang Intro
The instrumental on this is so
reminiscent of Yuk back in the day, i wish
the album had more productions like this. 5/5
2. Who Me
Dark grimey beat with a nice musical backdrop.
Did not expect this to be that dope! 5/5
3. Its Dark
Even heavier than "Who Me", but man this joint
goes hard! Not too big a fan of Lee Majors' raw voice 
on this particular track, but Yuk & Amp got this. 4.5/5
4. Dreams
Awesome track. Great hook, superb verses and
a perfect beat to match it all. 5/5
5. Clam Chowdah
Typical type track, but Yuk lifts it. 4/5
6. Bonafied Husalah
Man, this is on some other shit. Love the sample
and everyone just rips it. One of my favs. 5/5
7. Im On
Loving this one. You know you can't go wrong
with a Matt Blaque hook! Very dope cut! 5/5
8. Rock N Roll
Ok, Dru Down AND Tech together? Awesome right?
Well not if you give them such a shitty beat and
annoying ass hook. Their verses are great but 
it's just not cutting it, a real shame. 1/5
9. Keys 2 The City
Another grand track. great production with verses
that flow smoothly and compliment each other. 5/5
10. Any Given Sunday
Unlike "Clam Chowdah", this one offers more and
has repeat value despite being the same track. 5/5
11. Regime Terrorist
Nice track, might sound a little generic, but when
this comes on, you're sucked in. 4.5/5
12. On My Own
I love these type of tracks man!
Something about hard ass verses over a smooth
beat with a nice RnB hook. It's what makes your
shit bubble i guess! 5/5
13. Do The Math
They could've done more with this. The beat is
just repetitive and if it wasn't for Yuk, it wouldn't
be much at all. Typical filler track. 2.5/5
14. It Was A Good Day
Now we're talking again. Way better production
with lasting appeal and better fit on the alb. 4.5/5
15. All Nighters
At this point, this type of track isn't cutting it
and seems more like another filler track
despite tight verse and an ok beat. 3.5/5
16. Whats Ya Name
Just not doing it for me. What happened to 
"regime killers"? And Grant Rice sucks major ass,
Not good enough and another shame for Nina. 2/5
17. Traffic Jam
Not bad, but like i just mentioned, I need a 
"regime killers" type joint now. Use the intro beat
or something! Anyway, this is ok-ish. 3.5/5
18. Lifestyle
Nice track, but nothing overly special. 4.5/5

Just bumping the album in the background is a much
better experience than having to actually listen track by
track to review it. So really, the album is better than
I'm going to make it out. The problem is the lesser tracks
that are scattered throughout the album. So just bump this
straight, and enjoy those stellar tracks this album does have.

Overall Score: 9.2/10
And here's the vid for "Keys 2 The City", pure dopeness!

Now as for "The Last Dragon" Album, after going back to it
for another listen, it has even less of a lasting appeal.
Only 5/5 track here is "Why Ask Why". Seriously?
 It has a few 4/5's (Go Nutz (Remix) is pretty dope)
but nothing to boast about. The album is filler basically. 
Hard to believe these two albs are so different.
Overall Score: 6/10

BLANCO & YUKMOUTH - COOKIES N CREAM

BLANCO & YUKMOUTH

COOKIES N CREAM

2012

Blanco is dope. Period. After his collabo album with Nipsey Hussle, 

'RAW', also entirely produced by Cookin' Soul, he teams up with none

other than Yukmouth and delivers one hell of an EP!

The production on here is top notch and a great backdrop for

Blanco who always comes through and Yukmouth who really shines.

Yuk on these type of beats is sick and i wish he wil soon drop

an album similar to what David Banner did with 9th Wonder,

'Death Of A Popstar' or Mistah FAB's latest tapes. Speaking of

Mistah F.A.B., his verse on Warheads was the cherry on top here!

That whole track is bananas and a perfect example why Yuk

should go into that direction. Same for 'Rocky Road', 'Hot Tamales'

There's two tracks that don't really fit, but it's forgiven.

"Whoppers" & "Pop Rocks". They're not bad, but just don't fit.

Still, with only 7 tracks, it's kind of a shame. And why only an EP??

Anyway, this shit is a dope release and i hope more will come of this.

Also peep out the video for "Rocky Road" feat. The Jacka. Awesome!

1. Airheads (ft. Dru Down, Richie Rich, B-Legit) 5/5

2. Warheads (ft. Phil Da Agony, Mistah F.A.B.) 5/5

3. Hot Tamales (ft. Krondon, Mitchy Slick) 5/5

4. Rocky Road (ft. The Jacka) 5/5

5. Whoppers (ft. Stevie Joe, The Jacka) 4/5

6. Payday (ft. Ampichino) 5/5

7. Pop Rocks (ft. Lee Majors, Lil Rue) 4/5

Overall Score: 9.2/10

YUKMOUTH - HALFBAKED - 2012

YUKMOUTH

HALFBAKED

2012

I don't even know where to begin to be honest.
The slew of tight features, the beat selection, 
the variety and easy transaction between
banging tracks and smooth tracks, Yuk killing
every verse on every fuckin song. Shit!
This album is truly bananas! 
Let me touch on the different joints on here.
From tracks like the amazing "Cobain" (that hook is
just flat out one of the dopest this year) to
"Rollin Stoned" or "Try Me", smooth songs with some
tight ass sampling. It's all covered. Even the dirty south
comes to play with the great collabo track "Smoke Sumthen".
Yukmouth truly murders his verse on this type of beat.
It's just awesome man. Seriously Front to back this album
is pure enjoyment and one of the year's finest.
1. Get Lifted 5/5
2. Fire ft. Lee Majors, The Jacka & Ampichino 5/5
3. Cookies And Bo ft. B-Legit & Cellski 4.5/5
4. A Million Miles Away ft. Black Judah & Govmatic 4/5
5. Smoke Sumthen ft. Z-Ro & K.B. 5/5
6. Step Ya Weed Game Up ft. Daz & Jayo Felony 5/5
7. Rollin Stoned ft. J-Hood & Joe Blow 5/5
8. Cobain ft. DJ Paul, Ya Boy & D-Golder 5/5
9. Put 1 In The Air ft. Matt Blaque, Lil Rue & Blanco 5/5
10. Blowin On Jamaica ft. Young Noble & C-Bo 5/5
11. Wer U From ft. Dru Down, Stevie Joe, Clyde Carson
Philthy Rich & Rah Mean 4.5/5
12. Kush Cologne ft. Belo, Freddie Gibbs, Smiggz 4/5
13. Burn It Down ft. Moses Music & Beeda Weeda 5/5
14. Try Me ft. G-Stack 5/5
15. I Need Weed (Remix) ft. Faze & Berner 4/5
16. Loud Pack ft. J.Stalin & Lee Majors 4.5/5
17. Sour ft. Styles P 5/5
18. K.O.B. ft. Chop Black, Kuzzo Fly & Murder Hase 4.5/5
19. Smell It On Me (Remix)
ft. 2 Chainz, Gudda Gudda & D-Golder 5/5

Overall Score: 9.4/10

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!
