ED MONSTA MONSTA WEIGHT ALBUM REVIEW

http://www.mediafire.com/?gct00bl91d5o2jc

All year long ed monsta has slowly been making a name for himself in the 610 rap scene, either it be his collaborations with jon qwest to the 610 anthem "a.be" with campgrounds, you don;t have to be a fan of the local scene to have heard about the anticipated monsta weight. After a heavy delay its finally here and what i can say it was deffintly worth the wait. This mixtaped is packed with tracks that every type of hip-hop fan could find something to vibe out to. Monsta starts off heavy with pure lyrical prowness on "flow" spiting some witty and original metephors "i spit sick leave your speakers sneezing", and follows up with one of my favriote tracks "came in this world" where monsta gets deep in his personal upbringings "my mother loved me m father dumbed me" monsta keeps a steady flow with a polished delivery that is more gritty than usual tracks. Monsta holds strong on this album on his own but when he brings in the 610 heavyweights you know this albums FIRE!! On the track fourth of july he recruits eastons most known emcee mb and his cut ent assocates b wells and sherm for a track that is flawless in all ways. From a epic gritty streat style beat with a smoothly sampled rock guitar, and a quik paced dipset styled beat that gets you hyped from the start. "ya boy taking flight like a missle at night destory your whole battlefield lite up the night fire works you see em in the sky" this hook is both catchy and well delivered setting up for a track of pure lyrical onslought. Ed monsta leads off this track with one of his best and most complex lyrical efforts to date. he keeps a nice 3 multi flow thouhouut rhyming some 2 syllable words and letting his lyrics slip off his toung smoothly. Mb comes on 2nd spitting on some real life shit "yea i got shot almost fuckin died" keeping with a streat giritty delivery and enough guns n streat tales spit so vidily in detail you can actually picture the events he spitting. b. wells and sherm don't let down as well making fourth of july one of my fave tracks out of the 610 this year. Like i said this album has tracks for everyone he's got club bangers "dance for me mami" street tales "my hood" and underground styled lyrical assaults "heavy with that." and emotional in memory of tracks like "change gun come" witch goes ot to all the fallen yougins in the 610. this mixtape does have it flaws tracks like "step on the scene" have monsta switchign his delivery and stretching out his bars witch fuckes up the flow. but for the most part this is a solid effort and a solid debut.
