phaze wun the intervention MIXTAPE REVIEW





Im start off by saying elchain records as a whole has been growing on me, i wasnt feeling last years futuristicguerillabouncemusic to much but everything ive heard from the camp this year ive enjoyed. Now with phazewun ive always admired him as a producer but never consistent of a emcee like how alchemist is. On his latest mixtape "the intervention" phazewun impress's as well as falls short at times but overall entertains. On the opening track "abe" with rick chainy they spit a 610 anthem over "beamers, Benz and Bentley" that goes hard. Rick chainy spits a hot open verse but phazewun holds this track down the hardest. "i spit sick so the booth will be my death bed" phaze wun post in the opening bar, and on this track he definitely spits sick. " i step onto the mic with a surgeons mask on, and white rubber gloves the pens my scalable this is what i does" this is definitely creative playing the position of the dr. the revive the game. One thing that phaze wun is is original on all levels. the one thing he does lack is his own delivery staying true to artist who orignally spit on the track isntead of adapting his own delivery on the track "phaze vr marz" he spits over jay z venus vr mars to almost perfection but stays with jigas delivery style. "i get it in phaze goes hard flyer then a bird dudes so par everything i am is everything u so aren't got you bitch sudden death witch means no draws" now this bar is on point and the ending line is creative as can be but the flow is exactly the same rhyme scheme as jiggas original style. There are tracks where hes not as consistent with his flow then others like the sup par incredible with joey stlez, but the most part its consistent. One thing phaze does well is showing that wack tracks can be dope with the right emcees spitting on it as he murks "un-stanky legs" and makes the track listenable. he does have a hard time delivering like this on all beats though as his delivery calms down as where as his lyircs on the track "haterade" over guccis lemonade.he brings a array of local talent from el chai alumnies to 610 heavyweights like tug mcraw who spits one of his best verses yet on the track "who's dat" witch makes phaze wuns decent verse sound sup-par. phaze wun spits flawlessly though on the album stand out "victory lap" his rhyme scheme is at his most polished. "now im feeling real bored of rap,half my body feeling like a heart attack your a soldier wheres your army at we aint speaking japense we guna harbor that" not only is his flow intact his metephors are on point. Overall this is a solid effort it isnt perfect but its in the right direction. One thing i can say this mixtape has some of the most orginal and impressive metaphors ive heard all year.
