bars mixtape vol 1 DISC 1 hosted by dj boognasty REVIEW

www.datpiff.com/pop-mixtape-player.php?id=mbbc757f Over the past year there has been plenty of mixtapes claiming to have the best of the lehigh valley hip-hop scene on it any where from da stashbox's reccesion city series to john qwest mixtape last year (forget the name of it) now the latest compilation out of the valley is the dj boognasty hosted bars series. vol 1 is a 2 disc effort ill get to disc 2 later this weekend. First look at the track listings i gotta question if they put effort into the song selection or they just put evryone who wanted on on since over 50 percent of these artist i have not heard of but ill keep my moouth shut till the albums done for my final judgement. The album starts off strong with Lehigh valleys strongest vocalist with arrie showing why shes hands down the force in the r and b scene. Next is hip-hop group h.u.rt who i just recently came across and deffintly dont let down. Now theh valley has a strong hip-hop scene but there hasnt been many groups to blow out of the scene. There contribument to this mixtape is the grind whos beat has a jazzy feel that reminds me of the old gangstar days old school vibe to it with strong lyrics. Next was the autotuned reggaetoned style track money mo lyrically song goes strong even though his flo does stray alittle. Finballn a name ive actually heard of mb with roll with me witch shows his signature streat style tales hard punchlines and flawless flow witch makes him a stable in the lehigh valley scene. next is billy blanx the guy who help put this whole copilation together with hate if you want to a nicley flown track over a rockishs tyle upbeat beat. Has some clever punchlines by flow is a little basic. Next is newcover sam smith who is alligned with silva dolla and double edge ent with a flawless freestlye that flows smooth proven artist cans til go off the top of the dome. Next is a collab with joey boca and tug mgraw witch is deffintly this mixtapes standout witch has boca and mgraw going back to back with insane rhyme schemes deffintly with boca's first verrse that if he would of sped with delivery up would of had a perfected verse. The track also has a good message lets bring hip-hoback to the days when lyrics and turntables were still around. STRONG showing next track is improv by easymoneybags. This beat is amazing and easy keeps real hip-hop with this lyrics. The next few tracks got me thinking htis album doesnt have one bad song on it with the c-spade, l-money, autmatic collab (money talks remix" showing 3 l=ehigh valley heavwieghts rip the mic followed by newcomer silva dolla and returnign lv emcee kaspa with a track thank gets u deeply thinking eith whats going on. about whats goone wrong witht his rap industry. This album does have its flaws like the g-child throwback track fed up witch is about 3-4 years old and far from her best track with mother goose 1-2 rhyme scheme followed by another filler with tripple six that just doesnt fit won this mixtape that had such a strong begining. Im startingto think with my first notion they just put anyone who wanted to be on this mixtape on it without showing th etop talent in the lehigh valley. follwed by more filler with the supbar love track i dotn care by dylan murphy.Lucky this mixtape starts to pick up with allentowns white hype whiteboi d letting you in his mind on how he wants to make it in this rap game cus hes tired of stuggling with wit a star. album keeps on a good path with murdocs i dont think so followed by more r and b with m.o.s thats a nice little feel good track you can just vibeout to on a bad day. Next is another one of this mixtapes standouts capitiol c's those are who's dead. Infamous swag the 16 year old beast from allentiown keeps this mixtapes ral lyricism feel withthe streat anthem alrge on the streats. fully blessed,and armz bring back to back hard hitting tracks followed by a joinjt by young trouble that actually is a breather music is all i got that shows a more confident trouble then u usually see,got him on a more lyrical tip than usual even though he still strays in the complexity department. this mixatpe ends on a huge high note with red, j-sweets, phillub banks and prime targets. Overall this mixtape is a nice compliation i wouldnt tote it as a best of th elehigh valley buts its a nice introuductory album for people that dont know leigh valley hip-hop. top 5 tracks. joey boca tug mgraw take it back c-spade lmoney autmatic money talks remix kaspa silva dolla whats going on capitol c just 1 for those who are dead white boi d wit a star the 5 on the lowend tripplesix crime scene dylan murhphy i dont care money mo money mo g-chld fed up young trouble msuic is all i got

OVERALL RATING B+
